What's the worst thing about being Australian?

Personaly I love not being taken seriously.
There are much better sledges you can offer an Australian than 'throw another shrimp on the barbie.'

Worst thing about being Australian is being so far from the rest of the world. 20hr plane flights suck and 'almost' stop us from making regular trips around the world to infest dodgy backpackers and create chaos in drinking establishments.

I also don't like the way a lot of my fellow Australians take for granted what we have here.

I love being an australian. its fantastic!

Never noticed that we are not taken seriously.

Worst thing about being Australian is that we are the subject of jealousy by people who want to become like us or to come here to live.

EDIT: Oh my goodness!!!! The Chair Wizard III honours me with his presence in Travel section. I am so privileged!

The fact that I don't own a big enough shoulder chip to be a kiwi or a big enough voice to be American

I think it would have to be listening to some poor soul, who's not an Aussie, trying to say G'day like an Aussie.

They never seem to get it right and the more you tell them the more they try. It's seems to be a very difficult word for foreigners to say, even if English is their first language.

Are we not being taken seriously??
Well, stone the bleeding crows, I'm absolutely shattered to hear that fact.

Trying to be humble "Oh Lord it's so hard to be humble" because everybody wants to be an Ozzie :))

Seemingly everytime you meet a tourist, being asked to say 'throw another shrimp on the barbie', or something equally banal.

Having Yank everything shoved down your throat !

nothing..nothing at all

LMAO@cat "out to get us attitude" bahahaa....I think you may have us confused with a country about as large as ours but believe they're a lot bigger and more important....
Perhaps people don't take us seriously...we're cool with that we have nothing to prove!
We are more of a sit back and watch everyone else talk about their importance...whatever*grin*

the only thing is no white Christmas's apart from that its a great place to live in..And hey not everyone wants a white XMAS.

I don't think nothing is wrong with it.

Having to apologise for our nasty little Prime Minister - but we'll correct that soon and then we will be perfect.

ELLE

Why does no one take us seriously? I didn't know that! I was going to say the water restrictions but thanks!

Suzieq

Breezer, our bars ARE open to 4am some later than that. Not sure how your friend can be full of crap.

The only thing I dislike about living in Australia is that it is so expensive for us to travel outside of the country - and inside for that matter

But Why??

The worse thing is that there arent more people like us!!!!!

I'm not australian but I live in Aus so I think maybe being so far away from other countries is annoying

I don't know, but don't worry. Whatever happens, your big brother, USA, will take care of you. (Sometimes, you have to let go of your brother's hand and walk by yourself.)

breezer

I'm not Australian, but we have a friend and I don't take him seriously cause he's so full of crap it's not funny. He talks about bars opening at 4am for people who party all night long, how great he is in comparison to the rest us, and nothing we do can compare to what he has already done. I doubt that everyone is that way, but he sure talks like everyone there is just like him.

The racist attitudes of the federal government, a defaced British ensign as the national standard (Come on Australia you are too old for it now give it up) the "everyone's out to get us" attitude, but every country has faults I suppose.
