What do you think of Australian people (be nice, I am Australian)?

Actually, I very seriously considered moving to Australia about 15 years ago. Wow! I have no real stereotypical perception of Australians. I have never personally known anyone from there. Many online acquaintances, though. And TV/movie personalities...some acting in character, some real- being themselves. I have no negative impressions. And I mainly think happy, laid back..and yes maybe on the "outdoorsy" side like someone else mentioned. LOVE the accent! :)

australia is great... and what makes australia great? australians! i am really fascinated with australia and its people... surf bods, gorgeous women, sexy australian accents... geez! i wish i am in australia.

Well, all the Australians I know have always been kind, outgoing, cheerful people. Due to this, I love Australians. I've never heard any negative comments on the media about them and the country itself seems awesome. The only thing I could point out is some racism against the Asians, but that's not even the case with most Australians.

i like australians. they have really cool accents i wish i had an australian accent. no joke. me and my friend greg we were cashiers together at work and we had a contest of who could keep a australian accent the longest while talking to customers. needless to say he won it was so funny. crikey!

I love Australians, ACTUALLY the are the best.

hey...i love australia...i will do my MS IN AUSTRALIA..

hi my impressions of aussies are based on what i have read and heard about them...of course there may be lot of misconceptions involved here....and lot of those perceptions are related to cricket(including sledging for which aussies are popular or notorious???)....but one this is sure that Asians can ever have a favourable opinion about aussies,though its not my personal opinion...i have never had any personal experience wid any aussie....but do you remember the cricket tournament in India recently(which was equivalent to a mini world cup) which the aussies won,and for the final photograph with the trophy,do u know how rudely they pushed aside India's cricket chief,who is also a top Indian politian.newayz i must admit that we cannot have any stereotyping here.but one thing i must ask u-do u know what KIRAN means here in india-it means SUNLIGHT,incidentally one of mine uncle is named Kiran.

hi there kiran1978 i was born in Australia do have background slovenian and ukrainke bosinan my parents come from but i think all different cultures some have good some have bad and there is Australians that are bad too not all is nice my kids were in Australia too does not matter where you are its half and half you get nice Australians and horriable Australians as well take care happy postings

Hi Kiran! I know a lot of Filipinos living in Australia and I got one friend who is an Australian working here in the Philippines. He's nice and a family-oriented guy. He was 35 when I met him and he was living in MAkati with his ill father. They say discrimination is present in Australia but for me, this is a common occurence in countries that have a very high regard of themselves as a citizen of their own country. Just like Singaporean (their country is the only other country I've visited so far), they believe they are superior than any other nationality and in the workforce, they must dominate, at least in numbers. I am not sure if this is happening in your country.

Australians are cool and friendly people...I'm from the Philippines..and I have Australian friends.

Well, have I not much info about Austrians except my impression that Australians especially the women are beautiful. I've seen Australians in Beauty contests and I could really observe their outstanding beauty. That's all that I know and nothing more, forgive me for this!

I like Australian people in general. Well when I had a trip to Australia I found most people to be helpful and nice. Although living in New Zealand, image doesn't seem to be that great since New Zealand is always trying to stand out on top of Australia. I think Australia is a great country with interesting sights as well. Great tour spot as well. Although I do hear lots about funny Australian accents.

By watching the Aussie cricket team its fair to say that Aussies are aggressive and go-getters in whatever they want. Thats why they are one of the sporting Giants of the world.

Australia is one of the best place that I would like to visit because I heard people are very nice and very kind.

I used to work with a girl who was Australian, called Tammy she was very tactile and so bubbly, I used to love working with her because she was very electric, I could feel really down, grouchy and miserable but she would soon cheer me up and I wouldn't be grouchy with her around. She was fun to be with and very pretty too. I find Australians very outgoing, confident and full of self esteem, nothing gets them down and they are very polite but they also speak their mind and are not afraid of telling you what they really think, good or bad.

Us Aussies are just bloody Unreal !!! LOL.

I would love to learn more about your country. My perception of you guys is that you have a beautiful country. I love your accent.. Curtis Stone, Take Home Chef, have you seen the show?? I love his mannerisms and accent-- are you all like that? I perceive you guys to be easy going, laid back, jovial, happy.. I wish Americans were like this.

Hey there,I am Australian as well and what an absoluely great topic.Gee its funny to see what people think of our great country and our odd assortment of people.Ofcourse I think Australia is great and so are most of the people.

Actually, I have a friend who's Australian who lives in the US now. She is very beautiful and nice. Loads of fun and non tribal. What I gather is Aussie's like to party and have fun at least that is what I get from my friend and others I have met here on Mylot. She goes to visit quite frequently and always brings me back cookies...biscuits? Tim-tams I think they are called. Anyway, they are good too. So I think Aussies are fun and nice!

i love Aussies! I love Australia! I stayed in Melbourne for a whole month. I'm planning to move there in a few years. Can't wait!!!
