    I'm Australian and I love this video! I even learned things I didn't already know about my own country and that's just awesome!
    Also, that last part about Americans loving our accent is weirdly true. I was gaming online with roughly 11 Americans and once I started joining in on the conversation and actually speaking (I was quietly listening for the first few minutes because I get shy when gaming with strangers online), what felt at the time like the entire party became bizarrely excited. I was absolutely stunned. They asked me to say a bunch of different words and just loved me - I was only too happy to indulge them too. It was one of the nicest receptions I've ever received from a group of people I'd just met.
    To every happy lovely person out there: if ye be American or anybody else, I'll love you back if you want to love me at all. You're all beautiful and I wish you a great day!

      Yup I'd agree with that. As an Aussie saying something as long winded as African American just doesn't happen. We'll call you whatever country you're from based on what you sound like usually. Racism exists here unfortunately, but I rarely see it towards any colour American. I guess because Americans here don't upset the cultural landscape in any way. The racism I see tends to be towards those we see as trying to change the Australian way of doing things.

      I realise from your comment that I always thought of racism as something one does intentionally. A person might think a different race is inferior, and they think this consciously. I never thought about ways of doing things that are racist without it being intentional. I guess there could be cultural racism. Bit like someone saying 'I treat black people just as if they were normal'. It is a good point to raise. In general though I think that Australia isn't doing too bad. I do think the media is making it worse in a lot of cases. On one hand the media preach tolerance and acceptance etcetera, and on the other hand they tell stories specifically choosing one race as the target.

    Straight from Wikipedia mate:
    The only living organism in Lake Hillier is Dunaliella salina, the microorganism that causes the salt content in the lake to create a red dye, hence the colour. Another hypothesis is that the pink colour is due to red halophilic bacteria in the salt crusts. Despite the unusual hue, the lake exhibits no known adverse effects upon humans.

      2 will go to a hospital if you are injured
      3 get in serious trouble for unnecessary force
      bad things about Aussie cops
      1 tasers suck so much
      2 seriously tasers are the worst!
      good things about Aussie cops
      1 you can all go out drinking even after you've been arrested and let out
      2 Aussie cops go out drinking after work like everyone else

    -A bit about our politics Edit: As of today 22/05 our current Labor government and prime minister Anthony Albanese
    -The great barrier reef, the largest living organism on Earth
    -Ayers rock/Uluru - a sacred aboriginal site
    -Exports and mining (such as coal, uranium, iron ore and other natural resources) and farming,
    -Foods (like our meat pie and a couple of other things),
    -Australia day, Anzac day and other important days,
    -Some historical figures like Ned Kelly, Harold Holt, C.Y O'Connor
    -Our music and famous people - ACDC, Hugh Jackman, Margot Robbie, Heath Ledger, The Living End, Midnight Oil, Mel Gibson and more.
    -A bit about our currency AUD Australian dollar.. we have 5, 10, 20, 50 cent coins and 1, 2 dollar coins and then we have 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 dollar notes.

      bitterman co I'm from Vic and we have a considerable aboriginal population in the Yarra Valley district, as there was a prominent mission there in the 19th and early 20th centuries; Coranderrk. However, I guess due to the colder climate there are less Aboriginal people in Vic than in the warmer parts of Australia...which makes sense I guess.
      We definitely have a prominent Aboriginal presence though (Aunty Di Murphy does the 'welcome to country' at major events, including the AFL indigenous round).

      I had a holiday in the old West Germany in 1974 and found the local people welcoming and very hospitable Back then as English is my language we would often be asked if we were English or American. We would explain we were Australian as many other country's had not heard an Australian accent. Interestingly, we were treated differently and I suspect much more warmly than the British or Americans. The Germany I experienced was a neat, clean and beautiful country where as Britian was considered the garbage dump of Europe due to its litter and pollution of the day. I live in Adelaide and the town of Handorf is close by. Many Germans settled their over 100 years ago and Handorf is renowned for its wines, German pubs/cuisine/bakery's etc. A beautiful place inspired by Germans.😁😎👍

      Or maybe they thought it was already inhabited & accepted that
      The Dutch of that era were all traders, they were on their way to the Silk Road, so it made sense to stop in & see if Australia had anything they wanted to trade too. Unfortunately I guess the Aboriginal people didn't think of trading things like Eucalyptus oil
