7 Humorous Fun Facts about Australia!
It’s not a secret that Australia is a strange, strange country. In order to give you a little taste of their strangeness have I compiled a list of the 7 humorous fun facts about Australia!
1. “Jedi” is an official religion in Australia. In 2007 more than 70 000 Australians declared themselves of members of the Jedi order!
2. The first European Settlers in Australia drank more alcohol per person than any other country In the world! It should be mentioned that a big portion of the settlers were Irish seamen…
3. The 27. Prime minister of Australia and the longest serving Prime minister for the Australian Labor Party Bill Hawke; was best known for his drinking capability. Hawke sat a new world speed record In beer drinking, by finishing a yard glass (aprox 1,2 liters) of beer in 11 seconds!
4. The Average Australian will consume 7000 liters of beer and 165 000 eggs in his or her lifetime.
5. Probably Australias least proud world record; More than 80% of their adult population gambles. In New South Wales they have over 100 000 “Pokies” which is more per capita than any other place in the world, including Las Vegas. On another note, the number of car accidents caused by “Beach Pokies” is constantly increasing and becomming a national problem! (Editor: The research for the latest statement has only been developed in the writers head and should be used with caution!)
6. Melbourne, previously capital of Australia, and generally recognized as the most popular city in Australia; was originally named Batmania. When first settled in 1835, the region was named after one of its first settlers, John Batman.
7. In Queensland they host a yearly event called “Toad day out”. Its focus is to reduce the population of the Cane Toad by …. Killing it. Toads are captured to be humanly destroyed, and prizes are awarded to the children that find the biggest toads and the schools which capture the biggest amount of toads!
