      @katel7309 6 років тому

      The word mate isn't really used ( in my little world of Aussie) especially women don't say I'm off to see my mate.
      I don't know if the male gender would use the word mate more frequently?? Or whether living in town or outback makes a difference? Or whether 21st century kids/young people use the word mate??

      You need to get away from the East coast, it's a tourist trap. Go to other states as well you won't regret it. South Aust. has the city of churches, you get the rock and beautiful Darwin in the Northern Territories and all of Western Aust.

    What? both emus and kangaroos can move other directions than forward, There is not 7000 beaches in Australia and its islands, there almost 11000 beaches on the mainland alone. Australia has the longest stretch of straight highway in the world. Bob Hawke is the 3rd longest serving prime minister and he did not drink at all when he was prime minister. Fosters is a horrible beer that we only sell overseas so people dont come here and drink all our good stuff. There are more maltese people in Australia than in malta. None of the laws you mention are laws in Australia, I dont know where you got that from, I think some of them are englands laws. One side of Mel Gibsons family is Australian, the other half is American, due to his great grandmother being a great opera singer from the south coast NSW who moved to the US and married an American. And Im putting my drop bear killing stick up for sale because its been ineffective

      The "drop bear" is legendary, like dragons or the Bunyip (another legendary Australian animal). It is probably from Aboriginal dreamtime lore, and it may relate to the Thylacoleo or marsupial lion (now extinct).

      This video has little on the natural world, which Australia truely excels at. Like the Great Barrier Reef, the largest living thing on Earth (and can be seen on the moon). While North America may have the tallest plant on Earth (the Sequoia conifer), Australia has the tallest flowering plant (or Angiosperm) on Earth, i.e. Eucalyptus Regnans or the Mountain Ash or Swamp Gum (depending on your location). Found in Southern Victoria and Tasmania.

    Edit: the key ignition thing is not a stupid rule, it's good for 2 reasons:
    1. So that your car doesn't get stolen (and possibly used for crime)
    2. To protect babies and children from being left in the car and dying

      Saro Maligaspe please educate me more when Australia proclaimed the independence. And why you have the English queen as head of your country. And maybe write what for are the governor- generals in each state and what are their roles. You live there and you have no idea about your governing system and status of your country? Do they brainwash you there? I tbink so. Independent country ha ha. You confuse Australia with the USA.

    Ok, I'm an Aussie as well. I live in Melbourne. You pointed out about our abbreviated words, and our pronunciations. I'd like to say that the nation's capital city, Canberra, is pronounced "can-bra" here, not "can-berra" as it may seem

      actually, the word Indigenous refers to both Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander. They're 2 different groups but people often miss the Torres Strait Islander part and just say Aborigines. Therefore usually, people just use the word Indigenous Australians

      Sachin Tendulkar was also found guilty of ball tampering by the ICC. Cheating Indian umpires are the very reason we have neutral umpires today. Indian bookmakers have been the force behind match fixing for decades. Connvenient memory loss ? Or maybe the 'world's best' pollution you breath is having an adverse affect on your brain ?
