Pros: Uniqueness, friendliness, animals, food and wine, scenic locations and the 'Outback'
Cons: Weak history.
Background
Right off the bat I’ll add my little caveat. Look carefully at my place of residence. Yes, I’m already here in Australia and so my review may be somewhat affected by bias. On the other hand I know this country very well. Better...

Pros: People, attitudes, clean, safe, adventurous spirit
Cons: Look first to the RIGHT before crossing the street!
They call their continent-country "Oz" and it really seems like the one Judy Garland sang about. Still young, dynamic, friendly, outgoing, clean, and a wide range of prices/experiences for all tastes. Most Ozzies are more laid back than...

Cons: you can disappear

Pros: a lot of bulls*it thoughts about the land of Oz
Cons: Same Thing Love It/Hate IT
