Do Americans think that Australia is nothing but the out back like in Crocodile Dundee,?

I have no idea, but I always suspected so.

That's the Melbourne cbd. Melbourne has suburbs so harsh that not even Mick Dundee could survive them.

No. But it is nice that the Outback exists and steps should be taken to protect it from idiots like me.

No, not any more than we think all of the US is like the Sonoran desert. Countries are a combination of urban, rural, wilderness …

Ya mean it really really (really) isn't?? Golly, that's a shocker.

I think of the Sydney opera house when Australia is mentioned.

I imagine that Australia is somewhat like the Southwest USA mixed with Middle Earth.

I hope I am right.

I hear such wonderful things about that country!

I'm sure that almost all Americans and British people are well aware what Australia is like.

And yes - we know that there are many huge cities.
