Some Of The Strangest Things That Non-Aussies Find Out About Australian Life

If you have ever been to Australia, you'll see that this land has so many things that make people go crazy about, for both good and bad reasons. Nature here is kind of hostile, with giant spiders and venomous snakes almost everywhere. Apart from that, it's enjoyable to live in Australia, even for foreigners.
Yeah, life in this land is truly wonderful in its own way. Like, all Australians ride kangaroos around. All the men look like Chris Hemsworth. All the women look like Margot Robbie. And those who don't, are still quintessentially fit, tan and blonde. Just kidding. These are some of the most common myths about Australian life. But in fact, it's no less fascinating than this. Check out the list below to see some strange things that surprise foreigners when they come to the land of kangaroos.
