Australia- Poisoinous things and boomerangs

A.C.T- Fuck all
Well ACT does have Kevin Rudds ego and the fact that its a multibillion dollar investment made because 2 cities couldnt grow up and had to fight over something which is completely fucking irrelevant.

Oklahoma is where all the crazy people come from..
Oklahoma is also where they sent all the Indians as they drove them off their land. It was originally known as the Indian Territory after all. So you could say your state is also known for the Trail of Tears and the Indian Removal Act of 1830.

Don't forget about Fritzl!

Uh... Fritzl is from Austria, not Australia...

Anyways, Australia's famous for being pretty multicultural, an ecosystem uninhabitable by most sane people, our beer, Crocodile Dundee, the greeting "G'day mate", the development of penicillin for medical purposes, the Victor lawnmower, the clothes line, the tank, notepads, the highest number of Nobel laureates from the one nation... so yeh, not so much.

As for Sydney... we were originally a prison colony, the Cronulla Riots... gee, this is hard...
