There are far too many myths about Australia that foreigners apparently believe.
The following are NOT true:
1. We go around with bare feet in public. I've never done that, and I haven't even seen it (so far).
2. The wildlife is dangerous. Really? If you don't do something obviously stupid, like put your head in a crocodile's mouth, you'll be fine.
3. It's always warm and sunny. No, it definitely is not. It gets VERY cold, especially in the southern states of Victoria and Tasmania.
4. We're no longer free because we "gave up our guns". This is one of those myths that only Seppos believe, because they apparently believe that having the ability to kill your neighbour because he wandered on to your front lawn represents freedom of some kind. Most Australians didn't even have guns prior to the changes in the legislation being introduced, and most of us can't fathom being obsessed with what is after all a sure indicator of having a tiny dick.
5. We all say "G-Day". Many of us don't. That greeting is mainly an old man kind of thing.
6. That we swear all the time. I don't, it's vulgar.
7. We all (or most of us anyway) like Vegemite. That stuff is FOUL, I hate it. 🤮
