Hell of fight then we all got down to some serious drinking! lol. The majority of people in Australia are friendly and welcoming as well as you can understand what they are saying which is a major plus. If you can, please feel free to keep the great white sharks down there and away from our shores as much as possible!!!
So overall most Americans think the Aussies are great and anyone who has spent time in the Corps with any of the Aussie military know they are a hard fighting, hard drinking, hard partying, and one of the most loyal groups you can be around.
Hope that answers your question.
