Australia???
 
So I was watching this video, and I was wondering. What are your thoughts on Australia? I know being here and looking out at everyone else I have my own opinions on different countries and place but have always wondered what others think of my homeland.

Ok, where's my participatory cookie?

(But, hey, with my Irish blood, of course I love Australia. After the Rebellion of 1798, Australia had probably the largest population of Irish outside of old Ireland herself. Eirinn go brach!)

1. Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Darwin, Canberra, I know I'm forgetting some obvious ones...

2. Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, Southern Australia, Northern Australia?, Tasmania

3. No clue...I hate politics and I don't pay attention to the names of politicians in any country, not even my own

4. There was a show on our Game Show Network about 5 years ago called Who Dares Wins, it came from Australia. I remember they had commercials that were parodying the Foster's commercials, where they'd have the tagline "Australian for game show"

SUPER HARD QUIZ TIME!

Without google name:

1) Three Australian cities.
Darwin (best city name ever), Perth, Melbourne, Sydney (thank you Iron Maiden Flight 666)
2) Three Australian states.t
This one will be a hard one Queensland? Tansmania? Isn't New Wales a state/province?
3) Our current prime minister.
Idk this one at all what so ever.
4) Name an Australian made televison show.
The Crocodile Hunter (and it probably isn't even Australian made)

What do I think about Australia? You have emu's (which are both my most favorite flightless bird plus my most hated flightless bird mostly because I was stupid when I was little and got attacked by an emu a zoo.) Your wildlife would be interesting to see platypus, echindna, emu, kangaroo, wallaby, koala, drop bear (not really), (What ever is the so called bigfoot of Australia, can't remember)

But best thing about Australia is they gave us Steve Erwin, AC/DC, and Airbourne. Also via Iron Maiden dvd learned that there are big Iron Maiden parties there (which another reason I would want to go and visit)
