For those, who don't know what is Australia:



Quite the happy continent, this picture was taken after a "budwiser" beer boat sank around the southest perimeter of Australia. It is a Commonwealth country known mostly by foreigners as Great Britain with a less fruity accent and sun in the sky you can actually see.

You totally have it wrong. We are nothing like Britain.

[James_Alterlis]

AWSOME!!!  :banana: :banana: :bow:

Can u post a pic of flag since country established?  :razz:
And history record would be good

As far as I know, British found this island, right?

 

[SargentJosh]

Yes England founded this country but Australia has evolvede on its own :/

[Miami]

You totally have it wrong. We are nothing like Britain.

Maybe not in the way you act or culturally.. but we are related.. infact you all are British technically  

I'll let Jubin, or someone explain the history cos I dont wanna break the ice lol

[rJCaiG]

Australia was colonised by the british in 1788. It was originally imported convicts from England; America had its revolution so they could no longer ship their convicts there.
Australia became a federation on the 1st January, 1901.
The national flag is this:

There are talks of Australia breaking away from England, as we are currently a monarchy nation; ran by our prime minister, but the prime minister is overseen by our Governer General, who is overseen by the British Monarch, the Queen.

cbf writing more, gotta go to bed :P But that's basically it.

[martenest]

Australia also has Melbourne (pron. Mel-Ben)...Melbourne shuffle is from Melbourne(nowai!) and that's awesome.

[Niall]

Please write more after, i am extremely interested in history and have always wondered about the British/Australian connection. I never knew Australian didn't really like being colonised by Britain or were affronted when they were referred to as kind of British except when you said it (call me naive, i just never looked up the history of it ). I always thought it was like the Scotland and Wales situation were most people didn't give a shit, not like the Irish at all.

Every one has their own little stereotype about different countrys, for Irish it's drinking or eating potatoes. My own stereotype about australia however is whenever i picture an australian in my head i picture a guy with wavy blond hair who surfs all day lol : D.

[rJCaiG]

haha, that's pretty much a decent assumption! Tomorrow morning i'll post more in depth about our government and colonisation, including our natives and a few facts about our current shitty government, unless i get beaten and to answer your next question, i'm not doing it now due to being in bed writing using my phone :p

[Salmonella]

You... could write something about The Great barrier Riff maybe? Thats where I know Australia from
