What do Americans think about Australia?

EmM

I sincerely doubt that the Americans would even be able to pinpoint Australia on the map of the world.

In case you are interested, in the second term my son will study all about Australia.
Canberra, John Howard. I do not know the last answer but am certain that a few years ago Australia celebrated their bi centenary.

BTW I am in India.

Even I dont know about what year it was proclaimed and what convicts what century is this I live in Australia in the city 40 minutes from the beach how much do you know about American history I dont think they are all Marilyn Manson stereotypes or Abraham Lincoln advocates nor treat dark skinned people like slaves and torture them.

1) you walk upside down from down under - i'd have to bend over to be able to see and talk to you (between my legs)
2) your Christmases are weird, Santa Claus ought to be on vacation during the summer, not working for you guys!
3) your flora and fauna are primitive at best... wallabies, crocs
4) but i love you guys! hello mate (fake aussie accent)!

As an Amercian, I can assure you that most people see Simpsons episodes like "Bart vs. Australia" strictly as a joke. I don't profess to know everything about Australia, but I know enough that like America it was a British Colony, and treated the Aboriginies as poorly as we treated Native Americans. I've also seen maps of World War 2 that show the Japanese Empire got as far south as the coast of the Northern Territories and Queensland, and I'm a big fan of Ausflag(I love their proposed Reconciliation Flag). So to try to answer your questions:

1)Canberra(Australian Capital Territory).
2)John Howard.
3)Wild guess, 1788(Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that).

If you'd like, I'll try to tell you what else I know. As for me, about four or five years ago, I had to explain why the Fourth of July is an American holiday to a little Indian-American girl, so not knowing everything about other countries isn't really an "American" thing at all.

I think Australians are cool. I like Crocadille Dundee and Yvonne Goolagong. We're friends and allies, Mate.

1.Canberra

3.an ignorant question...the aborigines, in their way had proclaimed the country but just because some pompous @SS thought that the natives didn't have any say they went on to proclaimed what was already proclaimed by the indigineous aborigines of Australia. this was also the case for the rest of the Pasifika

You know, canadians think this way too. don't start it in australia as well.

Do you really think anyone believes what they see on the Simpsons? They portrayed England as being quite posh and Tony Blair wearing a jet pack. Ever happenned? Perhaps you'd prefer Neighbours' self-portrayal of Aussie folk?

To be honest I have no idea the answer to the second and third questions but your capital's Melbourne is it not?
