Dispelling the Australian Myths
Created | Updated Sep 20, 2003
I'm terribly sorry to have to do this to our American and British (and everywhere else, for that matter) tourists. Australians don't actually wretsle crocodiles all the time. There it is. The only people who actually look like Steve Irwin and wrestle crocs, capture snakes and wear tight stubbie shorts are entertainers hired to impress you tourists! I'm from Australia, and when I went on holiday to America, everybody there thought that I came to school riding in my Kangaroo's pouch! No matter what I said, they refused to believe that there are cities in Australia with 5 million people in them!
I'm here to tell you know, in all seriousness, that Australians aren't gonna be that different from Americans, except for a few differences which would probably offends hordes of fundamentalist Americans if I were to place them here...
Anyway, heed this Guide entry: Do not judge Australia by Steve Irwin and Crocodile Dundee; we Australians think that they are more bizarre than you do!
