    91. The fact that almost all foreigners think every Australian male is like Crocodile Dundee or Steve Irwin when Australia has one of the most urban populations in the world.

    Australia, Melbourne in particular has a sustantial population of direct Greek decent so Souvlakis are popular as is feta cheese.

    We don't call it 'ayer's rock' anymore. It's called 'Ulluru'. Ayer was a white explorer or some such nonsense. Ulluru is the rightful name, have some respect.
    I love the ocean off Red Rock, NSW. You can boat out 7km to the Solitary Islands, the southern most tip of the great barrier reef, there you can get close with sharks while diving, there are caves and you can catch abalone, camp on the beach and have the best time away from everything.

    no offense skip, but is that really decent advice to give?? tourism is contributing to destoying the reef, go see it really soon as a tourist??

    Id say if you value such natural "wonders" intrinsically, e.g. beyond their value to humans, you will steer clear and not contribute to an industry which is leading to the reefs destruction......... no?

    but yes, it is an incredible thing about australia :)

    If you look at that list, I put tourism last. That's because it has the least impact of any of those things listed.

    Scientists say there may be as little as 20 years left for the major reef systems on the planet. They will be the FIRST BIG THING to go, and it's worth witnessing such a wonder before it's completely gone. There's nothing we can do about it either way, unless we stop ALL POLLUTION tomorrow. Don't think that's gonna happen.

    Perhaps if enough people see what we're losing (esp. children who will have to deal with our negligence their entire lives), they will take the steps that we are too lazy to do.
