Americans...?

LOL! I don't think that about Australia at all. I think it is a country rich in heritage. Some people live in the desert yes, but I know there are large and small cities that most people live in. And no one goes to school in Kangaroo pouches. That's just silly. I would think you get to school the same ways we do. Bus, car, bike, or walking. I do generally think of it as being hot most of the year, very hot. I also think Australia has a lot of unique and cherished wildlife, and that most Australians tend to be relaxed and laid back.
