    I've visited Australia, so I have a lot of memories from that trip, but to the average American over about 30, Crocodile Dundee is probably one of the main things that pops into mind.

    Plus Elaine on Seinfeld saying "the dingo ate your baby"

    I think of unstable federal leadership, two speed economies and fat slag radio hosts. ;)

    Dumb, drunk, and racist.

    And this is coming from an Aussie.

    But I love it in Australia- wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

    I'm going to Uluru, where the dingo ate the baby, in 3 weeks, and also taking my daughter to The Gold Coast theme parks next week.

    I was in Australia over Christmas and New Years and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was only in Perth and SW Australia but would love to go back sometime and see more of the country.

    It's an Aussie saying, when someone does something wrong they 'get a boot up the arse' (sorry for the vulgar language).

    Sort of like the American version, opening a can of whoop a$$.
