I myself do not come from austrialia...but...I have many freinds that do, and I know from tghem alot about it. not much on citys and locations and stuff. but alot about the geography, animals and plants...the weather and many other things...did you know that in austrailia there is a food called begamite, that is for them like our(if ur in us) penut butter...or that there they have some of the most deadly animal(venomous/piosoness) such as the funnle web spider. and once in a while( I think during summer) sea level rises along much of the outer adges of the continent in a a climatic event they refer to as "the big wet". grammer and expresstions over there r slightly diferent also. I have heard that making the sign for "two" with one of ur hands should only be done with ur palm facing the person(if ur wrist is facing them...u basicaly just gave them the finger). if u have ne specific questions ill try to answer them and if I dont know, ill ask muh aussie freinds.

Hehe...
Not trying to make fun of you esron, but I've got nooo idea what you're talking about, and I am Australian...
Accents, spelling and customs differ from place to place, thats normal. If our grammar and spelling is slightly different, it's because we've taken it from England, rather than America. (usually involves adding in an extra U
)
I think you mean vegemite, but that is nothing like peanut butter at all. It's a dark brown spread, made mostly of yeast. Personally i'm not very fond of it.
Oh, and you completely lost me with that whole hand thing
.
Anyway, Australia is just a regular place full of regular people, it's not what you'd most likely see stereotyped...
