Wow - those Aussies gotta be tough. Sharks eat you when you go to the beach. They have the most poisonous spiders and snakes in the world. They have drop bears. And now we find out they have missile toting marsupials!
Do not forget the Bull Ants, FMD, those bastards hurt, and the Box Jellies, little tiny jelly fish that will kill you.
Yow - no wonder they like their beer.
And pay $18 a six pack for it.
Just to clarify:
Expect to pay $12-13 for 6 common beers. (When our dollar eventually returns to the long term average it will be very cheap for you.)
We generally do not export our good beers (or wine).
Most things in Australia can kill a person but they generally don't hunt you like some of the things in America. Crocodiles are an exception, they particularly like American tourists.
Depends what sort of things you like. Aviation things to do all year round. As for beaches: stay away from the northern beaches to avoid crocs and stingers. My favourite beaches are Torquay (Vic) in the summer and the Sunshine Coast (Qld) all year round.So - all those deadly critters and expensive 6-packs aside - suppose a US tourist was thinking about a visit, what are a couple must-see places (and it'll have to include a beach)?
My favourite!So, am I OK if I drink Cooper's?

Yeah - it is kind if hard to narrow down just a couple things out of a whole continent.
So how about - a beach, snorkeling for beginners, some open air bars/restaurants with a very relaxed dress code, maybe some off-road Jeep tours.
