You don't really want that though. If more Americans knew about your low crime rate, great education system, and modern utilities (Crocodile Dundee had us thinking Australians live in either a rickety shack or a lean-to, probably without running water or electricity), you'd be overrun with us. People are already moving their families from the cities to more urban settings to try to get away from the gangs and other bad influences on their children, but instead such things are moving to urban areas with them. The saying is that you can take the kid out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the kid. We'd contaminate you, too.

I know a fair amount about Australia because I did a little research after watching Gallipoli (great movie, I recommend it).
Otherwise one of my favorite bands, Big Country, I believe is Australian and if you believe pictures Australia must have the largest Hot Babes/Acre ratio in the world.
Oh, and I know whatever the wildlife TV shows tell me because Discovery Channel was all about animals before the war, now they are all about killing shit. My viewing time has gone down quite a bit.
