    Red face A Brief History Of Australia!

    I absolutely love Aussies (and Kiwis too!);-
    their similar cultural ways, their charisma, their friendliness,
    their direct and blunt way of talking, their unpretentiousness,
    the way they're unreserved and freely express what they truly think,
    their uplifting optimism,
    and especially their awesome sense of humour!

    Australia ranks extremely high in the world for quality of education,
    quality of life, and quality of healthcare.
    It's ranked as the happiest developed nation,
    and Melbourne is ranked as the best city to live.

    I love great Australian musicals and movies and music bands,
    (such as Moulin Rouge and Australia (both with Nicole Kidman)
    and Crocodile Dundee, INXS, etc,
    their diverse range of wildlife (especially koalas, pink robins and ebony swans!)
    that can be found on their massive island nation,
    their vast prehistoric natural history,
    and their amazing Great Barrier Reef.

    They have a similar Houses of Parliament, they enjoy cricket and rugby and English sports,
    they like similar music, and also have a similar sense of humour to us.

    'The Ashes' is a historic cricket match played between the Aussies and English
    (no other nations are allowed to take part in The Ashes series,
    other than Australia and England.)

    Out of all the Anglosphere nations, I feel culturally closest to the Aussies and Kiwis,
    despite them living on the other side of the planet, they use similar terms to us, etc,
    such as 'bloody hell'!

    In Sydney, they also have a 'Hyde Park' and a 'Kings Cross', etc,
    like we have in London,
    and in Canada, they have also a London
    with a River Thames, a Middlesex, etc.

    (The British colonists named over 50 places
    on various continents as 'London',
    in honour to the English and the UK capital
    which was also the capital of the British Empire.)

    Also so many places on other continents that were colonised
    by British people have the exact same names
    as many towns, cities, areas within cities, counties, rivers, etc,
    from their original homeland of Great Britain.

    There's also places in the US named after English places,
    such as New York (named after the Duke of York
    from the old English capital city of York in England), Boston,
    Greenwich, Soho (both in London & New York,)
    Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, Jersey, Southampton, etc!)

    (Aussies and Kiwis also drive on the left side of the road like the Brits and Irish.)

    Anytime I meet an Aussie or a Kiwi in London, I always smile and feel happy as I find them great people.

    (Australian comedy and Aussie commercials are the best!)



    Australia Trailer


    Hilarious Aussie TV commerical (I've seen so many hilarious Aussie commercials):


    Numerous memorials are made in honour to the legendary British explorer
    Captain James Cook - especially in Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii and the US.

    Australia kept a White Immigration Only policy for many years. The British used to be able to travel on a luxurious British cruiseliner to live in Australia for just Ł10 as Australia desperately wanted British people to join them and move there!! (Hence the term 'Ten Pound Pom' for British people living in Australia during the sixties era.)

    Adverts and commercials were placed in Great Britain urging Brits to live and work in underpopulated Australia.

    The Australian government stated that they want at least 10 migrants from the United Kingdom for every other foreign migrant to Australia.

    For just Ł10, Brits were able to travel on a luxury cruiseliner and live and work in Australia, providing they stayed there for at least 2 years to help build the nation which was underdeveloped at the time, as Australia wanted mostly British migrants from their motherland to settle there.

    The term 'pome' is believed by some to be an acronym for (Prisoner Of Mother England) since the English used to transfer British and Irish convicts and rogues from UK prisons and put them on ships and take them out of the British Isles to live and work in the baking sun in Australia on the other side of the planet.

    Some criminals were given sentences by UK judges to be transferred to live in Australia, where they would have to live and do labour, rather than be placed in prison.

    For 70 years, 160,000 British criminal convicts were taken out of UK prisons and forced to live in Australia.

    Others believe the term 'pommie' for Brits originates from the soft pink flesh of the pomegranate fruit and the soft pink flesh of British people burning in the Australian sun.

    I, like most Brits, find the term 'pom' or 'pommie' as endearing, and certainly not offensive. It's sad there's been a few campaigns in Australia to remove the term from official use so not to offend people from their motherland - but most English people like the term 'pom' and we don't find it 'racist' at all! We have a sense of humour and find it amusing! (We call the Australians as 'Aussies' and the New Zealanders as 'Kiwis' and they don't take offence to it either as it's endearing terms. )

    The British, Australians and New Zealanders aren't sensitive to these terms and don't find it offensive. (Water off a ducks back!)

    Thousands of British expats still continue to move each year to live on the other side of the planet in Australia,
    with New Zealand, Canada and the US also being popular places with British expats.

    It's quite a feat how the British crossed two Oceans to settle Australia.

    I thought it came from Prisoner of Her Majesty.

    Nah, just a funny video. There are people actually like this though in certain pockets of the country. I guess most countries have their own versions of such characters though.
