“Dingoes and kangaroos and koalas, oh my!”

Alright, those may not be the lyrics Dorothy was singing in The Wizard of Oz, but pandas, we’re not in Kansas anymore. Today, we’re taking a trip to the Land Down Under to see some of its most fascinating sights. From the cutest, and sometimes deadliest creatures, to the friendliest and most fun people, Australia has it all!

Below, you’ll find a list we’ve compiled of some of our favorite posts from the Australia subreddit, as well as an interview with Australia’s Curious Campers, Natalie and Steve, who were kind enough to share about their beautiful country. So grab some Tim Tams to snack on, be on the lookout for any poisonous snakes, and be sure to upvote the photos that make you want to hop on a flight to the Southern Hemisphere ASAP. Then, if you’re interested in checking out Bored Panda’s last article featuring the Australia subreddit, you can find more pics encapsulating the Aussie experience right here!

“Australia is often perceived as a sun-drenched country where every day is perfect beach weather. Not true,” Natalie and Steve added. “We have seasons here and for the southern half of Australia, cold weather, rain, even snow can occur from April to October.”

“There is still a perception that Australians, descended from convicts, have evolved to be a tanned, blonde population – but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Today Australia is proudly and harmoniously multicultural with people from around the world calling Australia home,” the Curious Campers told Bored Panda.

Finally, we wanted to know what being an Aussie means to Natalie and Steve. “Being an Australian in Australia is an immense privilege. Being an Australian means we have freedoms and safety and opportunities not enjoyed in all countries. It means taking pride in that even though we are relatively small in number, we compete, play and contribute on the world stage,” they shared. “It also means we can enjoy living in a big, beautiful country. Only an hour from any capital city, you can be on a beach, or in the bush, or by a river or rainforest and not see another soul. Australia has been called the lucky country, and being an Australian means living in a community and having a lifestyle that is the envy of the world. We’d never live anywhere else!”
