The thing I love about Australia is that if you wanted you could come to Australia and we would call you a Yank until the day you die. If you accept that then you will truly be an Aussie, if you fight it you'll get more of it. We are a nation of bullies but for the most part we don't do it maliciously, for we generally take it as good as we give. The current wave of PC doesn't mix well with this part of our culture. The trick with Aussies is don't take us seriously.

If you want to see a good movie that highlights the differences between Australians and Americans I suggest you find Dirty Deeds (John Goodman, Brian Brown, Sam Neil, Toni Collette are some actors you may know). It is a wonderful take on how Aussie values and culture.
