    Loved your fun facts about Australia. My sister-in-law & hubby just spent 3 weeks in your lovely country. I'll have to quiz her on these fun facts to see what she learned while there. :-)

    I know that like New Zealand the Aussies have an Australian haka, but it's usually performed when it's their turn to buy the beer, it's accompanied with lots of pocket slapping and chants of "I forgot my wallet". From a Kiwi to an Aussie, thanks I really enjoyed reading about one of my favorite countries (seriously)

    What a fun lens! More snow than Switzerland; cattle ranch bigger than Belgium; and wild camels! Fascinating.

    Noticed an important typo on this site about Australia's tallest mountain....correct spelling is Kosciuszko rather than Kosciusko ( the z was left out ) . Sorry to sound pedantic .
  • StevenCousley Jan 17, 2012 @ 4:35 pm | delete
    Thanks for pointing that out. I've just learned the "z" spelling has been adopted since 1997. I was still spelling it they way I learned in school.

    Even old timers like me can learn new things. :)

    my cousin went to australia in 2003 and was there for 6 months. I know that they have spiders as big as a adult hand and their bird population is very large!

    Australia is a great place - except some parts of it are about 5 miles away from the sun. Geez it is hot sometimes.

    Fantastic lens! I would love to go stargazing in the Outback, seems like you'd be able to see a lot you wouldn't see elsewhere in the world.

    I was looking for an Australian-theme lens on this very special day for all Australians, and I found your lens. Wow, I never knew there are so many interesting facts about this beautiful country; the fact that Australia snow fields receive more snow than Switzerland is unbelievable. --- Blessed ---

    I never knew some of the information about Australia. Thanks for the interesting facts. I hope I can study there next year. I am currently applying to grad schools programs.

    I say this is a lot ... but the things I learn on Squidoo. First, largest population of single hump camels? The largest crocodiles in the world? Over 6,000 types of flies? There are maybe things I don't want to know... Either way very informative and great job on your lens but wow!

    I knew nothing about Australia until I read your lens. I think it would have been a better place than Canada to have the Olympics as you say, 'Australian Snow Fields Receive More Snow Than Switzerland'. :) 5*s and fav. this great lens!
  • MikLint Feb 12, 2010 @ 7:46 am | delete
    Yes love it mate! Learned a lot new things about Australia. Would love to visit once, seems great there, except for those flies :)

    Great lens and even I learned something. Laughed out loud in parts and that cubicle poo - ouch. Wonder what shape their bowels are. Top marks and keep them coming.

    6000 species of fly??? Maybe you should just list the good things if you want to attract visitors! ;)
    Nicely put together!
