Marsupials running the show. Always the way. That and the Outback.
The reality of Australia is we are actually one of the most advanced, developed and urbanised societies on the planet, with 87 percent of our population of 25 million living in our major cities, and with a HDI and standard of living topped only by few countries.
The USA is not one of them.
Yet every depiction of Australia or Aussies is some Crocodile Dundee/ Outback/ Steve Irwin BS.
If anything, Australia should be a former colony of a great empire (that is now in decline), with a highly advanced society who are oppressing the native inhabitants. That's a lot more like what it's actually like.
