Ned Kelly came round to see me today i guess i was dreaming , dumbfounded i could’nt think what to say
I beckoned him in but he shook his head he said I’m a bit grubby and a bit poorly bread I’d rather we yarned out the back in the shed I can leave my boots on that way
Well he took a stiff whisky and layed down his gun he said i wont keep ya long cus I gotta run ,gotta ride to the mountians before night is done
He said words got around bout the music you play you truly believe in the fair dinkum way but the bush must remain for our spirit to stay and we must have a flag of our own
You see I learnt long ago when i was still young like a lizard that spits and sticks out his tongue oh the way to get shot is to carry a gun
Theres a new world order and the leaders all shout and everyones frantic the’re gonna miss out and the red white and blues are still matching about and we must have a flag of our own
Cus this is Australia and thats where we’re from we’re not yankee side kicks or second class poms and you can tell the frogs what they can do with their bomb and we must have a flag of our own
Cus this is Australia and thats where we’re from we’re not yankee side kicks or second class poms and you can tell the frogs what they can do with their bomb ………But we Must have a flag of our own!

Er guys, I suggest you perhaps read a bit more of the website, as we’re all about love for the land Down Under.

Seems you missed it, but this was written with tongue firmly in cheek (and was actually posted the same day as our “10 Things We Love About Australia” story – http://tumbrella.com.au/2009/05/06/comment-10-reasons-why-we-love-australia/)

Cheers and happy travels!

for no.1 thats entirely untrue. Australia is a country of diversity and for the fact that we are all commenting about why aussies suck is like arguing which country is better SO EVERYONE LISTEN TO THIS AUSSIE OR NOT… NO ONE is better then anyone and NO ONE ever will be. AND DONT FORGET WE WILL SEE THESE STEREOTYPES EVERYWHERE WE GO SO DONT JUST PINPOINT IT ON AUSTRALIA
and for no 3 when saying that its like saying your better then the other so everyone just shut up and close this argument once and for all

I stumbled across this website completely by accident, now everyone has a voice and has a opinion, thus why I became curious after reading a bit of what all of you have to say. It simply fascinated me that there were people out there who hated Australia and the Australian Lifestyle that much. I hesitated a few times while writing this because I strongly believe each is allowed there own opinion and should be able to express themselves, however I then thought about other people from all over the world accidentally stumbling across this website as i did and reading all this falsified Hate that is being directed at Myself and all other Australians. If you don’t like Australia as a country or the lifestyle then fuck off. It’s as easy as that. The fact that you’re judging us by our Aussie accent , speech and slang is well a joke on you, I love my Aussie Accent and Aussie slang, and I guarantee every Aussie will say the same. We are a country that is one of a kind and that I am proud of. We as Australians are lucky to be part off. We are extremely multicultural and welcome everyone with open arms. For you to say we are Racists is far from the truth, Australians love to laugh and joke around with one another, we take the piss out of each other in a way that none of you would understand because you all have a carrot shoved so far up your arse and are probably boring as bat shit. The hate and judgment that comes from your mouth toward Australians is considered to be Racist. I Guarantee that you hide behind the screen of a computer and type away because you have no balls to Voice your opinion to someones face. Now I would like to go through each item in the article “10 reasons why we hate Australia” and put fact to bullshit.

“It’s too effin hot”
Well…… Now I bet you are one of those people that complain and complain and complain usually that would be called a nagging wife but in your case you’re just a little whinging old man who still cries to his mummy when is tootsies get a bit burnt. Probably still try to suck the milk out of her tit and scream MAMA.
Summer in Oz is usually late nov to end of feb and yes sometimes is does get over the 40degrees for a few days, funny you mentioned it, A huge Majority of Tourists come here just for the 40degree days. Australia is lucky as we have all four seasons Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring.

“It’s too effin dangerous”
Well no shit!! Australia is a country with some of the worlds most dangerous species. BUT….. They won’t harm you if you don’t harm them. In Australia we understand that they were here first and to respect there habitat and surroundings, they are an important part in maintaining the stability of the environment. It’s also more likely that someone would be struck by lightning rather than be attacked by a Shark, a Snake, A spider or whatever else that may be lurking.

Number 3: Completely irrelevant

“They speak all wrong O”

You forgot to mention that usually after every sentence comes “AYE”. But again I will explain to you that how we Australians speak is unique to us, There is nothing wrong with it nor is it making a mockery of the English language. For each country that speaks English or any other language comes a unique accent. Australian is Australian, It always will. To try to compare The so called proper English that is spoken in the U.K to Australian English………Well it’s laughable, they are two completely different countries. For people to argue over who settled in where first and blah blah blah how about you all build a bridge and get over it.

“It’s a bit Racist”
Hahaha As I said previously we are far from being a racist country. The difference with Australia compared to most of the world is that we see everyone as equals, just because of either race color or nationality does not mean people should be treated different. These words that have been said about Australia and the people are very racist. Its assumed that its OK to speak this way as I guess its not the stereotype of what is considered racism. But it is.

“Backpacking is too easy here”

Hrmmm heres a thought go do things on your own. Its not that is is too easy it is that you are too lazy too make an adventure on your own. Australia is also HUGE and very unpredictable. So to say that the backpacking industry in Australia is to easy is not the case at all. You decide your fate, your choices and your own mind don’t blame Australia for you being too lazy.

“There music is Abysmal”

AC/DC is a iconic Australian band, they are even a iconic global band. But to say the Australia is only all about AC/DC you really have no idea about Australia? Have you even been here? I mean seriously if you have you must be one boring piece of shit.

“The beer is rubbish”
AGAIN you seem like you just want to complain about everything and compare it to what you are use too. Not really one for a adventure or want to try new things are ya. Now Beer in Australia is everywhere and the variety is huge. There are breweries everywhere, each unique with flavors. To say that we need to learn how to make a good beer proves that my assumption on you and your boring closed mind is correct.

“They’re all so bloody cheerful..Mate”
Shit. You are complaining that as Australians we are to happy and chatty. DO YOU LIVE IN A BUBBLE? Like I said we welcome everyone with open arms and treat people equally. We are friendly and will talk to tourists again I feel lucky that Australia is a country that is so friendly. You’re a sad person, closed minded and clearly wants to bring everyone down with you. I feel sorry for you. You should Enjoy life rather than always trying to find something wrong. Your head is far to much up your own arse that shit starts to come out of your mouth.

“It’s full of whingeing poms”

I think the whingeing poms would be trying to avoid you, your so dark and gloomy that you could ruin anyone’s holiday with your negativity. Again as i said to you, don’t blame Australia for the sad person that you are blame yourself. Why bother going on a holiday you just ruin other peoples happiness and their holidays.

Open your mind mate. Shit your a embarrassment

The whole Reason why the ENGLISH go on and on about AUSTRALIA is because it once belonged to them and they lost it…Ever since that they Have looked over the large divide of water with JEALOUS eyes upon our Golden Beaches Perfect Weather Perfect LifeStyle Unpolluted Wide Open Lands Blue Skies and Smiling Sun Kissed Faces……..

ASK ANY —-ANY ANY…..BRITISH PERSON WOULD THEY MUG OFF ENGLAND TO GO LIVE IN AUSTRALIA…… AND THEY ALL WOULD SAY YES IN A SECOND!!!
