Our accent and slang are unique.
Around 40% of the population have at least 1 parent born in another country.
Australians are very proud of their convict heritage.
Australia has compulsory voting for all levels of government
Our native animals are unique.
Australia is the driest settled continent (Antarctia is dryer, but isn't settled).

The following website has heaps of unusual facts that you may find useful:

The source is for the population stats. because no one ever believes that the OS born parent numbers are so high.
