If you’re not from the Land Down Under, I can guess that your first thoughts about the place just might include their insane wildlife – everything there wants to kill you and all of that.
Maybe your thoughts go somewhere else, though, and people from Australia are curious what you think of when you ponder their lovely country!
If you’re curious, too, these 18 people are dishing up their thoughts.
18. Not the worst ideas.
Compulsory voting.
And don’t forget the democracy sausage.
17. They’re ginormous.
A huntsman spider.
Had one on the passenger visor, the missus swiped the thing on to my lap, scared the crap outta me cause I didn’t see what it was at first.
The Mrs wasn’t happy that I did a tuck and roll leaving her in the car with the spider.
16. My kids would love this.
Fairy bread.
For those who don’t know. Sprinkles on soft buttered white bread, given to children at parties everywhere.
15. I’ve got one thing to say to you…
Kel Knight, purveyor of fine meats.
14. The whole family, really.
Steve Irwin.
Crikey!
13. Childhood favorites.
PM crapping himself and great bands, a lot of my childhood favourites are from Australia.
Also, when I used to live there as a kid, I was addicted to Tim Tams.
12. Great music.
Late 80s alt rock, I know not what comes to most people’s minds but if you’re not bumping midnight oil and the divinyls on a regular basis you are no friend of mine.
The Gurge, Powderfinger, Crowded House, Inxs, Angels, Barnsey.
11. All the shivers.
That one video on BBC Planet (or what’s the name of that nature chanel) where they showed 5 males of different species fighting/protecting for/their females.
They showed how a young kangaroo male challenged another male for his harem. There is a moment when the older male kangaroo stands up and you see his MASSIVE muscles.
Every time I see or remember that, it gives me shivers.
10. You can’t forget that.
Prime minister shat himself at a maccas.
And don’t forget they he lays hands to compel the power of Christ of the unbelievers
9. It’s five o’clock somewhere.
Went on a camping holiday on a long weekend somewhere up north coast of NSW. It was packed and everyone on the site had a beer on the go before I even got up. Like from 8am through the whole day, everyone had a beer in their hand.
I was just upset I didn’t bring enough beers.
8. There’s a whole song.
Kookaburra. OOWWUWAAAWWOOOWAAAAA-A-A-A-A-A
7. They’re still rolling.
Midnight Oil.
Loved that band. Amazing live. I saw them in the UK in 93 at Brixton academy.
6. All of it.
Bob your uncle…
Their sense of humor is absolutely astounding.
5. Not their finest hour.
The Wiggles.
Fruit salad, yummy yummy.
The one they did with Steve Irwin was my favorite.
4. Amen to that.
That Shannon Noll was robbed of winning hit Australian TV Show Australian Idol 2003.
3. Leave them be.
Do not mess with Kangaroos.
They’re the largest hopping animals which makes their legs strong and muscular.
And above all, kangaroos have genetic predispositions to be muscular. 50% of their total weight are pure muscles.
There are videos on YouTube of people getting their butts kicked by these things. They are not to be trifled with.
2. On a roll.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.
And The Murlocs! And The Chats! And Tropical Fuck Storm! And DZ Deathrays! And Psychedelic Porn Crumpets!
So many good Australian bands now.
1. It’s the best.
Bluey. My son loves that show but I think I love it more!
It is the best little kids show ever and is surprisingly accurate to australian life like honestly it should be a documentary on what we do here
I would love to visit again; such a great place.
