I think Australia invented the resigned slump of the head and shoulders, generally in response to, yet another collection of Brits, banging on about how "they don't do it like that in the UK".

Nooooooooooooooooooo.... it doesn't nave to be an invention.

It can be anything... kangaroos, koalas, boomerangs...

If you're overseas... (or here, as the case probably is) ... what is Australia famous for?

What do people associate with Australia?

I'm going with koalas, kangaroos, boomerangs and the opera house.

Let's go with a cultural (!) slant ...

Neighbours, Home And Away, Kylie, Jason, Crocodile Dundee, Christmas at the beach, Rolf Bleeding Harris.

I'm not promoting any of this as good by the way.
