I have a best friend in Sydney, a true "Australian", born and raised there...and he's the most wonderful person I know!  I flew over there to visit, about 7 years ago...and everywhere I went, I met the most awesome people!  Australia was originally a penal colony, a place where England/Great Britain sent their convicts.  The Australians are a people founded on that, and many spend years tracing their roots, hoping to find that one of their ancestors WAS a convict.  They've taken that penal colony, and made it into a really great country, with the openess and democracy of American combined with the strength, fortitude and resolve of the Brits.  They're a strong, proud people, and if you ever get the chance to visit....you'll be like me, and not want to go home!  They share a dual-citizenship status with America, unlike Britain, who doesn't.  Every year, there are around 500 Americans who become Australian citizens and spend the rest of their lives there.  The country is beautiful, and you can be in the mountains one minute, and an hour later, be lazing on the beach!  They embrace the Aborigine culture, and you see it wherever you go in artwork, in names of cities, towns, streets, etc. (Wollongong, Parrametta, Coolangotta).  Their towns and cities and highways are clean, trash-free, and while there, I went through all areas of Sydney, and saw NO slums, NO graffiti, NO homeless, NO crime.  One of the friendliest nations in the world, and well worth the money spent to visit, if you get the chance!  And my having a southern accent (from Georgia in the US) seemed to be so cool to them! :)

I don't think Australians are odd. I think all of the Aussies I have talked to here on Yahoo Answers are super friendly and very cool!! In the US, we really like Australians, especially the accents. OK so, when I was a young kid, I think I had an idea in my head that alot of Australians were very strong and rowdy people who wrestled crocodiles all day and lived in the outback. I think seeing movies like Crocodile Dundee, put this idea in my head. But then as I got older I learned that Australia is pretty similar to here with big cities, suburbs and rural towns. I think the personality types of Australians are probably as varied as they are here and in every other country in the world. I hope I can make a visit to the land down under some day!

I have just recently moved out of Melbourne an Australian capital city  because it is like going to Hong Kong on a daily basis.\nMelbourne as a city has several suburbs  Richmond,Footscray,\n Box Hill,  That have become almost entirely immigrant suburbs.\nBad luck to the people that used to live there before most of them have sold up and moved on.One really good joke though is that immigrants have started moving into Toorak and South Yarra\nwhere once only the very rich folks lived.\nPeople in Sydney know what i am talking about too\nAnd tonight I see the muslim mufti saying he is a muslim first not an Australian   which will probably in the papers here tomorrow\nAustralia is a very tolerent nation but i think we have had about enough \n time for the stupid goverment to stop giving our country away

Where are you from???

thanks for the laugh! I'll have to remember that one.\n\nSeriously though, I'm an Aussie and a person from Melbourne is called a Melbournian. Northern or Australian Capital Territory dwellers are called Territorians, Western Aussies don't really have a nickname, but we do (no word of a lie) tend to call the Tasmanians Inbreeders.\n\nIt's in our nature to insult eachother. We enjoy it and the other always finds it funny. We might sound crazy, but at least we get along and have a sense of humour.\n\nNo civil war will ever occur here.\n\nP.S. Those Sheep Shagging Kiwis love to take the piss out of us too. That's why we are such good neighbours.
