Australia is one of the youngest nations and one of the most extraordinary corners of our planet. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is both a separate country and an entire continent. Here, you can find unique flora and fauna while getting to know the eccentric side of Australian life. By the way, Australia translates as the "unknown land in the south." So, let's dive together into intriguing facts about the lives of the inhabitants of this “unknown land.”

1. Caution! Weird rules

An Australian taxi driver recently faced a $100 fine for the unusual offense of wearing shoes that didn't comply with the designated color regulations. This incident highlights the need to acquaint oneself with the country's peculiar laws before embarking on a visit. Australia is known for having unique regulations that may seem unconventional to outsiders, emphasizing the importance of being informed to avoid any unexpected penalties or legal issues.

2. The forbidden songs

Publicly singing songs containing obscene language is prohibited by law. As a result, not all rock and rap artists choose to perform concerts in Australia. Additionally, using offensive language and gestures in conversations with others is also illegal. A first offense can result in a fine of $10,000 or two-month imprisonment. Repeat offenders may face a six-month prison sentence.

3. Respectful law 

Weddings and funerals are very personal occasions where close friends and family come together to share joy or grief. In Australia, these events are regarded with great respect. To emphasize this, Australians have even established a special law. According to the legislation, anyone  who intentionally disrupted a wedding or funeral can be fined $10,000 or imprisoned for up to two years.

4. To engage in vacuum cleaning during nighttime hours

Perhaps the individual who implemented this restriction in Australia had neighbors who preferred quiet during the night. However, if you happen to desire to use a vacuum cleaner between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., be aware that there is a fine of $120 for such activity, and an additional $30 penalty for subsequent instances of cleaning during restricted hours.

5. Engaging in rain-making practices

Due to the prevalence of shamanism among many Aboriginal communities in Australia, regulations were put in place to determine who has the authority to conduct specific rituals. Only authorized specialists are permitted to perform rain-making ceremonies. Unauthorized individuals who attempt to induce rainfall will be regarded as violators of the law and may face a fine of $1,000 or one-year imprisonment.

6. Dealing with pirates

Although this law was established in 1958, it remains relevant in Australia today, and for good reason. It is important to be aware that any individual involved in the sale of ammunition or food to pirates, as well as conspiring with them, is considered a criminal under Australian law. The punishment for such offenses can result in imprisonment for up to 10 years. Therefore, it is strongly advised against establishing any connections or transactions with pirates.

7. Special meaning

In Australia, many things are well-thought-out and unusual at first glance. However, everything has its profound significance. A special meaning is embedded in Australia's coat of arms. It depicts a kangaroo and an emu, both representatives of Australian fauna. Both of them are unable to move backward, symbolizing the country's direction—only forward, toward progress and prosperity.

8. Australians eat kangaroo

Let's not beat around the bush and get straight to the point. Yes, Australians do eat kangaroo. Some even consider the meat of this animal to be more nutritious than beef. Its taste is often compared to lamb. Kangaroos are known for their active lifestyle and have very lean muscles. As a result, the meat is quite firm and has a distinctive odor. By the way, kangaroos are not the only unusual gastronomic preference among Australians. They also eat an echidna, a local creature that resembles a hedgehog in some ways.

9. Australian banknotes are made of thin polymer, not paper

In 1988, Australia made history by becoming the first country to introduce polymer banknotes. The release was dedicated to the 200 years of European settlement in Australia. Currently, all Australian dollar banknotes (5, 10, 20, 50, 100) are made of polymer. Their lifespan is several times longer than that of paper money. The use of polymer makes the banknotes more durable, as they repel water and dirt and provide protection against damage.

10. Vegemite is an iconic symbol of Australian cuisine

This quintessential Australian spread, Vegemite, holds a special place in the hearts and palates of Australians. It is a dark, savory paste made from leftover brewer's yeast extract, combined with various seasonings and vegetable additives. While its strong and distinct flavor may not appeal to everyone, Vegemite has become an iconic symbol of Australian cuisine. It represents the unique culinary heritage and cultural quirks that make Australia truly distinct. So, whether you're an adventurous foodie or simply curious about Australian cuisine, giving Vegemite a try is an experience that shouldn't be missed.

11. Why Peppa Pig wasn't liked in Australia

Who would have thought that the popular children's animated series "Peppa Pig" would face censorship in Australia? The airing of an episode in which the main character befriends a spider was banned on the continent. The authorities deemed it not the best idea to teach children not to fear spiders in a country that is home to numerous poisonous species of these creatures. Such is an interesting approach to children's education.

12. Australia has a service called the “Flying Doctor”

The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) is the world's first and largest paramedical organization. It is designed to provide emergency medical assistance to residents living in remote regions. Today, the service has bases in Adelaide, Port Augusta, and the Ayers Rock Medical Center in the resort town of Yulara, covering over 2.3 million square kilometers of Australia's territory with its medical network. It is worth noting that without this unique service, most remote areas of the country would be uninhabitable.

13. Dangerous job 

The most dangerous job in Australia is that of an Australian Stockman. They, too, have wings. They fly on small helicopters, herding unruly livestock from all directions. When a Stockman sees a group of livestock that have separated from the herd, he swoops down to drive them back to the rest of the cattle. Flying at low altitudes and at low speeds, the helicopter's engine can easily stall, requiring significant skill to maneuver.

14. Football’s record

Australians love and excel at playing football. The national team holds the record for the most goals scored in a single international match. In 2001, the Australians scored 31 unanswered goals against the American Samoa national team. The player Archie Thompson also made it into the record books by scoring 13 goals in that match, an absolute record in the history of football.

15. The Cockroach Racing Championship

The World Cockroach Racing Championship is an unusual and quirky event held in Australia that attracts both locals and visitors from around the world. Participants in the World Cockroach Racing Championship typically bring their own cockroaches or select one from a designated pool of competitors. The racing roaches are placed in the center of a circular track, and the goal is to have them crawl across the finish line first. The races are often short and fast-paced, adding to the excitement and unpredictability of the event.

16. Gambling Australians

Australians are known to be very passionate about gambling. They love to play and easily spend their money on games, and even when they lose, they don't stop and continue playing. Compared to people from other countries, Australians spend the most money on gambling. If we consider the total number of poker machines worldwide, 20% of them are located in populated areas of Australia.

17. Rabbit keeping penalty

It is prohibited to breed rabbits in Australia due to the excessive population of these furry creatures on the continent. Their population had to be reduced using a specially created virus. It is worth noting that initially there were no rabbits in Australia, as they were introduced to the continent by Europeans. The efforts to control rabbits in Australia highlight the environmental challenges posed by invasive species and the need for proactive measures to mitigate their impact. The introduction of these viruses serves as a reminder of the complex and delicate balance within ecosystems and the ongoing battle to preserve Australia's unique biodiversity.

18. Brave Steven Irwin

Brave Steve Irwin, often referred to as the "Crocodile Hunter," was an Australian wildlife enthusiast and conservationist who captivated audiences around the world with his fearless approach to wildlife education and conservation. Irwin's unique style of interacting with dangerous and exotic animals made him a beloved figure in the world of wildlife television. Through his immensely popular TV series, The Crocodile Hunter, Irwin brought viewers up close and personal with some of the most formidable creatures on the planet, showcasing their beauty and importance in the ecosystem. Tragically, on September 4, 2006, Irwin's life was cut short when he was fatally pierced by a stingray barb during a diving expedition.

19. No tips at all

Australians are principled about not leaving tips, whether at home or while traveling around the world. They do this without any remorse because they believe they are justified. However, this behavior sometimes leads to servers in cafés and restaurants in different countries not favoring them. Perhaps Australians are saving their money to spend on poker when they return home.

20. Australian slang

You'll be amazed by the abundance of Australian slang used, including the term "Aussie" itself. One of the most perplexing phrases is "yeah, nah" and its counterpart "nah, yeah." Interestingly, these expressions convey the opposite meaning depending on the last word used, providing a definitive yes or no response.

21. Reptiles and venomous spiders are everywhere

In Australia, reptiles and venomous spiders are a common sight. They can crawl into shops, rooms, hide in refrigerators, and even find their way into tables. For tourists, this can be a real nightmare, but for locals, it's just a normal part of life. They remain calm and know how to safely remove reptiles without causing harm to themselves or the animal. However, for travelers exploring the continent, these people are true heroes. They handle these situations with bravery and expertise, making them highly admired by those encountering such encounters.

22. Pink Lake 

Lake Hillier, a pink-colored lake, is located in Western Australia, specifically on Middle Island, which is part of the Recherche Archipelago. What makes this lake truly unique is its vibrant bubblegum pink hue, which creates a striking contrast against the surrounding blue waters and lush greenery. Its pink coloration is believed to be caused by the presence of a particular species of microalgae called Dunaliella salina and a pink bacterium known as Salinibacter ruber. Despite its unusual appearance, Lake Hillier is safe to visit and swim in, although access to the lake is restricted to protect its fragile ecosystem.

23. Australians and their love to life

From time to time, Australians face floods. It not only brings discomfort but also damages their properties. However, they manage to cope remarkably well and find various ways to continue living and enjoying their lives. It's no wonder they are considered some of the happiest people on the planet. During one of the significant floods, many Australians took to boats and kayaks, heading out to run their errands. Some went to the store, others to the pharmacy, and some even paddled to the nearest fast-food café to satisfy their hunger.

24. Trained Horse 

Australians have a deep love for animals. Many of them are involved in farming, and some even train their beloved animals. In particular, there are horses that are trained to fetch objects for their owners. They skillfully open water containers, retrieve bottles with their teeth, and bring them to their human companions. It's unknown how much time it takes to train them in such tasks, but it's undeniably impressive.

25. Funny messages on road signs

Some of the country's roads are incredibly long and monotonous. That's why Australians came up with quirky and funny messages on road signs to try to entertain drivers. For example, one of the humorous signs depicts a kangaroo flipping a car. The message implies that if you're inattentive and fail to notice the kangaroo, be prepared for the worst because it might not be you hitting the animal, but rather the kangaroo hitting you, and as we know, kangaroos are quite strong.

26. The largest herds of camels

In the Australian deserts, there are over 750,000 wild dromedary camels. This represents one of the largest herds of camels on Earth. These camels are descendants of those brought to Australia in the 19th century for transportation and exploration purposes. Over time, they have adapted to the harsh desert environment and thrived in the arid regions of the country. The wild camel population in Australia plays a unique role in the ecosystem and has become an integral part of the country's cultural and historical heritage.

27. Welcome to Macca

Australians have a great sense of humor and boldly apply it everywhere. They love to shorten names and turn them into nicknames. Even famous fast-food chains have not escaped the influence of Australian humor. In particular, the well-known chain McDonald's acquired the nickname "Macca" and quickly appeared on signage. The owners of the McDonald's brand appreciated this idea and decided it was a great way to refresh their name. So now in Australia, McDonald's is known as "Macca" and nothing else.

28. The Kangaroo Boxing Fight

The boxing kangaroo has become a special symbol in Australia: it is printed on coins, depicted on the coat of arms, and featured on military aircraft. Kangaroos in the wild often engage in boxing matches with each other, and occasionally even humans can get caught up in their punches. In the 19th century, there were even organized boxing matches between humans and kangaroos in arenas. However, in the 20th century, these fights were discontinued thanks to activists advocating for animal welfare. Nowadays, occasional lighthearted kangaroo boxing matches can be seen in circuses, but animal welfare activists actively campaign against them.

29. Extreme heat

Australia is known for its extreme heat, especially during the summer months. The scorching temperatures can sometimes reach unbearable levels, causing discomfort and posing challenges to daily life. One peculiar phenomenon that occurs during these extreme heatwaves is the melting of shoes. The intense heat can be so extreme that it affects the pavement and surfaces, causing them to become extremely hot. As a result, unsuspecting individuals may find their shoes starting to melt when walking on these heated surfaces. It may sound strange, but it is a reality that Australians have experienced.

30. Emu War

The strangest war ever fought was the Emu War. It unfolded during the Great Depression, which greatly affected the continent. Emus began mass raids on wheat crops, consuming the harvest and destroying fences, causing even more losses for farmers. As a result, the government initiated an active campaign to exterminate the emus. Military personnel were deployed, using machine guns to shoot at them. The war lasted for several years. Many birds were killed, but it did not help protect the crops. Eventually, the government surrendered and devised an alternative strategy by implementing a system of "incentives" for those who would independently fight against the birds. This decision turned out to be more effective.

31. The World's Longest Fence

Dingoes hold a special place in the ecology of the continent. The largest fence in the world has been built to control them. While everyone knows about the Great Wall of China, not everyone is aware of the 8,500 km-long Australian Dingo Fence. It was constructed to protect the fertile part of Australia and sheep grazing lands from rabbits, wombats, and dingoes.

32. From the Guinness World Records to the chair of the Prime Minister

Australian Bob Hawke achieved fame in two very different arenas: as a record-breaking beer drinker and as the Prime Minister of Australia. In 1954, Hawke made headlines by entering the Guinness World Records for his remarkable ability to consume beer at an astonishing speed. Hawke's feat of downing a yard glass of beer (equal to approximately 2.5 pints or 1.4 liters) in just 11 seconds captivated the public's attention and earned him a place in history. He went into politics, had a successful career in politics, and became one of the most influential figures in Australian history.

33. Practice Barefoot

In Australia, it is not uncommon to see people shopping barefoot, especially in more relaxed and casual settings. This practice reflects the country's laid-back lifestyle and the preference for comfort and ease. One of the reasons why Australians feel comfortable shopping barefoot is the generally clean and well-maintained shopping environments. Shopping centers and supermarkets often have clean and polished floors, making it more feasible to walk barefoot without discomfort.

34. Beer and shoes

In Australia, there is a unique and somewhat unusual tradition known as "shoey," which involves drinking alcohol from a shoe. While this practice may seem peculiar to outsiders, it has gained popularity and become a cultural phenomenon among Australians, particularly at celebratory events and sporting occasions. The origins of the shoey tradition are somewhat uncertain, but it is believed to have emerged from the larrikin spirit and love for eccentricities that are deeply rooted in Australian culture. The act typically involves pouring beer or another alcoholic beverage into a shoe, usually a worn-out or old one, and then drinking it directly from the shoe.

35. Morning Glory

This incredible phenomenon can only be seen in one place in the world – in northern Australia, over the Gulf of Carpentaria. Its name is Morning Glory. From September to October, gigantic tubular clouds, stretching up to 1,000 kilometers in length, fill the sky at dawn. They float at a low altitude and rotate. According to one theory, they are spiral bands of cyclones, while another suggests they are horizontal tornadoes. The anomalous Morning Glory is dangerous for aircraft, as the wind near it becomes extremely unpredictable.

36. Anomaly Lightnings

Australia is known for its captivating and diverse natural wonders, and its thunderstorms are no exception. The intensity and frequency of lightning strikes during these storms can be truly remarkable. In October 2018, Sydney found itself in the midst of an extraordinary display of nature's power as it witnessed an astounding 7,000 lightning strikes in a single day. The sight of the night sky ablaze with electrifying flashes and the deafening rumble of thunder reverberating through the air created a spectacle that left both residents and visitors in awe. The sheer magnitude of the lightning storm was a testament to the raw energy and force of nature that Australia is known for.

38. Free barbecue 

In Australia, they love barbecues, which are commonly referred to as "barbies." The local climate lends itself to outdoor leisure activities throughout the year. According to surveys, three-quarters of the residents of the Green Continent prefer cooking in the fresh air, as it is much more enjoyable than standing by the stove in the kitchen. The government has taken into account the citizens' love for barbecues and provided them with barbecue facilities. These facilities are available for anyone to use, and the best part is that they are completely free of charge. You can find these electric or gas barbecue units in almost every park, allowing people to cook steaks, sausages, and other delicacies to their hearts' content.

40. Giant sculptures as tourist traps

Australia is a country of giant sculptures that capture attention. There are approximately 150 of these sculptures scattered throughout the country, often referred to by Australians as "tourist traps." These enormous statues depict animals, food, and various objects, lining the roadsides and captivating tourists, enticing them to visit these locations. Visitors are not only drawn to admire these giants but also to take selfies with these cultural phenomena.

41. Australians are so nice to pedestrians

Australians are known for their law-abiding and calm nature. One of their notable qualities is their remarkable patience toward pedestrians. Even if a pedestrian stands still on a zebra crossing, engrossed in their phone or searching for something, drivers won't rush or honk to urge them to move faster. On the contrary, they won't make any remarks and will simply wait until the pedestrian decides to move and continue on their way. It is a testament to the value Australians place on safety, respect for others, and creating a harmonious coexistence between pedestrians and drivers.

42. Parrots everywhere

Australia is home to a diverse range of parrots. They fly in flocks and fearlessly land on people's hands. However, there is one downside: they can emit loud and unpleasant cries, especially cockatoos, which are abundant in cities. At first, it may feel like being in the midst of a jungle, but eventually, one gets accustomed to the unusual soundscape. The local magpies, which are quite large and occasionally aggressive, often target cyclists wearing helmets, while crows tend to produce three repetitive calls in a row, which never fails to amuse us. Their cries bear a resemblance to a child's scream.

43. Second-hand stuff

Australians are known for their generosity and caring nature. They don't simply discard their belongings, such as children's toys, old electronics, or baskets. Instead, they leave these items near their homes for others to freely pick up and take for themselves. This act of sharing allows their belongings to have a second life and enables them to be useful to someone else in need. This practice reflects the values of community, resourcefulness, and sustainability that are deeply ingrained in Australian culture.

44. Kangaroo and golf

In Australia, there are twice as many kangaroos as there are human inhabitants on the continent. Therefore, it's not surprising to encounter them all around. They have a particular fondness for appearing on golf courses, where they often indulge in a peculiar behavior. They may even steal golf balls and playfully hop them into the holes. Most people have grown accustomed to their presence and continue to enjoy their favorite game undisturbed. However, there are times when kangaroos may express their displeasure and give a rather forceful "boxing" response to those they take dislike to.

45. Leaving doors unlocked

In Australia, there is generally a low crime rate compared to many other countries. This indicates the law-abiding nature and adherence to the rules of the majority of Australians. In safe and secure areas where the risk of crime is minimal, it is not uncommon to find a practice of leaving the doors of homes unlocked. When people return home, they trust that everything will remain in its place, allowing them to feel comfortable and leave their houses unlocked.

46. Crazy driver 

Sometimes, love for animals can override common sense. It's no wonder that Australians have developed a great affection for koalas, as they are incredibly adorable and peaceful creatures. However, in this case, the driver completely disregarded road safety and allowed a koala to climb directly onto his head. The resulting photo undoubtedly turned out to be epic, but the consequences of such thoughtless actions can be very critical.

47. Water usage restrictions 

Due to the arid climate in Australia, there are official restrictions on water usage. For example, watering lawns and pathways, as well as filling pools, is prohibited from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. These water usage restrictions are in place to conserve water resources and manage the impact of drought. However, these restrictions may be relaxed during the rainy season, when water availability is higher. It is important for residents and businesses to adhere to these regulations to ensure responsible water management and sustainability in Australia.

48. Sheep’s country 

Australia is indeed known as a country of sheep. In 2022, the sheep population in Australia reached 70 million. This means that the "sheep population" exceeds the human population by five times. It is expected that the sheep population will continue to grow in the coming years and reach 76 million. Experts have made this forecast for the end of 2023, which will be the highest number since 2007. Favorable weather conditions influence the sheep population. If drought occurs frequently, their numbers may decrease. However, it is unlikely that in the coming years, the sheep population will outnumber the human population on the continent, even during periods of frequent drought.

49. A lake without water 

Australia is a country with unique natural features. It is home to numerous extraordinary discoveries, ranging from unusual animals to lakes. One remarkable place is Lake Eyre, which is the lowest point in Australia, sitting 15 meters below sea level. Its main distinction lies in being considered the driest lake in the world. It is covered by a thick layer of salt measuring four meters thick, and there is virtually no water in it.

50. The iconic symbol of Australia 

There are 16 World Heritage Sites located on the continent of Australia, including historical, natural, and landscape sites. One of the remarkable landmarks of Australia is the red rock formation called Uluru. Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a breathtaking natural wonder and an iconic symbol of Australia. It is a large sandstone rock formation that stands prominently in the heart of the Australian Outback. The magnificent red color of Uluru is particularly striking, especially during sunrise and sunset, when it undergoes mesmerizing color transformations.
