Australian accents really do it for me tbh.

Australia has less scrotes than america, therefore it's superior.

My boyfriend is Australian and we're visiting it right now before summer. Everyone is calmer, happier and more laid back than most other Western countries. People and even cities are a little crude, but in a charming way (Everyone swears very ugly curses but it's like they're always amused by what's bothering them. People talk like they're lower class or uneducated, but it's not with any anger, so it's not abrasive or gross). Cities, suburbs and all the houses are ugly on the outside, but very comfy inside and everyone has huge front and back yards. There are almost no homeless people or staggering drug addicts, except for one or two beggars at big train stations. Violence is rare and very shortlived (my boyfriend has been in plenty of fights, but someone escalating beyond a few punches and leaving the loser alone is extremely rare and very looked down on). Women are safe enough and feel safe enough to go out late at night alone, and in secluded areas the local governments install huge lights and cameras to scare away attackers. Countryside communities are very nice and much more modern than in other places.

The weather is too hot, too dry and too sunny. I had to buy a giant hat with a face-shield and completely cover myself to stop being burned, and I still get red rings around my eyes from reflected sun. Drinking is very common and day drinking is not looked down on, but seen as "cheeky" (something that's a little bad and shouldn't be done, but is ok in small doses if you feel a little bad about it first). All the tourist sites I wanted to visit (not many of them, because all the best stuff is out in the bush, desert and coasts) were filled with incredibly loud, rude and annoying Asian tourists who think paying a tour guide means they own the site for the length of their stay. The cities and suburbs are all built for cars because everything is so far apart and taking public transport to someone requires walking for 1km, 2 train exchanges and 3 buses. Everything is very expensive and you need a local to show you where to buy things, because all the small businesses almost everywhere are just tourist-traps. HOT.

I love it. There is so many marsupials there. Maybe one day I go there

Well, damn. I don’t think I’ll be visiting anytime soon. I’m like a vampire and can’t stand the sun and heat
