The facts of life Down Under, to anyone who isn’t actually living there, are shrouded in mystery, and that’s the only truth. Like, what’s it like to be living in a place where almost every animal is either poisonous or venomous, where spiders fall from the skies, temperatures are scorching, and you have to endure it all while upside down?! The last part, of course, was a thoroughly not funny dad joke, but everything before it was true.

To learn about life in Australia, you could watch a National Geographic documentary, visit a library to check out an atlas, or try to google each and every aspect of thoroughly Australian things that encapsulate the experience of living there. However, a better way to learn the Aussies’ secrets would be to check out these positively Australian tweets and learn about their habits straight from the horse’s mouth. Or Twitter. So, what we did here is we gathered all the funny tweets that have been sent to our screens right from Down Under and are now letting you in on the secrets that we learned while reading them!

Be advised, though, these cool tweets are heavily peppered with phrases and words from everyone’s beloved Aussie slang, so you just might need a page of Urban Dictionary open to keep you in the know. Besides that, most of these snippets of wisdom are pure comedy gold, so a good time reading them is guaranteed!

Right-o, scroll down below and check out these hilarious Australian tweets! Once you’re done laughing and gathering intel on the facts of living in Australia, be sure to give the best tweets your vote so they find their way to the top of this list. Lastly, share this article with your friends!

    Nothing is more Australian than taking a byproduct from the beer brewing industry and repurposing it to be something to feed to your kids for breakfast. 😀👍 Edit: Thanks Tyke! There is also nothing more British than what I wrote above.

    No, we think Australian culture is having a firm grip on a venemous snake with one hand, a large beer in the other hand, while riding on the back of a kangaroo jumping full tilt through a desert hot enough to melt steel.

    It's true. Until recently stabbing your political leader in the back was a noble tradition (see Bill Hayden, John Howard, Andrew Peacock, Julia Gillard, Kevin Rudd, Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull etc etc). It's good to see the baton has now been passed to the Brits.
