I've got an assignment to do and I'd really like an idea of how people see Australians, what do you honestly think we're like.
Don't worry about if your going to offend me I'd like an honest opinion, though I'd appreciate people leaving my m[B]u[/B]m out of this even though the topic of my mother would indeed be relevant as she is also Australian.
Just because I love this image

I'd also appreciate people mentioning their country of origin also, just to see if there's any correlation with opinions from different areas of the world.

This fuck nugget.
"A DINGO ATE MY BAYBEH!"
or
"G'day Mate, put little shrimp on the barbie with my huge knife and then drink some piss eh?"
or
"Banned in Australia" because your government likes censorship.

Ease up on the silly answers, I'm looking for proper answers, I know what people think of our accents and are amused by our slang.

Honestly? You don't really do anything on the world stage, don't hog natural resources and keep to yourselves. Americans don't think much about you except that you have nice beaches filled with horrible creatures that will kill you.
Also that you have silly accents.
As a New Zealander I think you are all thieves and convicts. As a person I see you all as thieves and convicts.
Naw I kid ya all goods. You just always sex seven (See what I did there)

Everyone in that video that is using their mic besides the obvious Brit is Australian.
I don't think we have accents :saddowns:
Dude, everyone has an accent. I feel, people who say "we have no accent" are rather silly.

Oh yeah, shirtless greasy hairy and fist fighting.
The usual "I'm smart because i'm not american" types...But with accents.
everyone wears hats with corks on them, no exceptions
everyone walks around in cargo shorts and a vest
everyone has a BBQ every night, usually with shrimp
they can all wrestle snakes and often will

Crocodiles... get the stereotype right.
We're good swimmers, as part of natural selection... We swim with sharks and shit around, and we NEED to be able to out swim not the sharks, just the British backpackers.
