This Online Community Celebrates The Land Of ‘Nope’, Here Are 30 Of The Most Interesting Posts (New Pics)
Some call it The Land Down Under, others call it The Land of 'Nope'. Yet, however you refer to Australia, it's a pretty good place to live in. After all, according to the 2025 World Happiness rankings, it's the 11th happiest country in the world!
We want to celebrate Australia and all its wild weirdness and glory, so, we've got you a collection of the newest pics from the subreddit dedicated to this wonderful country. Scroll down and find out, Pandas, if it's only spiders and other critters you should be worried about when coming to Australia.

These Are Ghost Mushrooms, Omphalotus Nidiformis, Bioluminescent Mushrooms Native To Australia. They Come Out On A Dead Tree On My Farm Each Year After A Rainy Season
Go look in a mirror then. :) (I overheard that the other day and was just waiting to use it LoL)
Load More Replies...Bioluminescent mushrooms are fascinating. Panellus stipticus is also one if anyone wants more illuminating mushroom knowledge to read. Edit: Depending on where you live, you may be allowed to grow bioluminescent mushrooms as long as they are not an invasive species in your country and you have a cool new pet that is not a plant.
They are stunning , I assume you can’t eat em tho lol but that’s one amazing thing to see ty for sharing this , I’ve never seen these before
While some bioluminescent mushrooms, like Omphalotus nidiformis, are not edible and can cause severe reactions, others, like Panellus stipticus, are considered non-poisonous but too small or bitter to be edible.
Load More Replies...We Have Spent 13 Years Of Hard Work Regenerating An Old Cattle Property Into Natural Bushland. The Return Of Wildlife, Including Echidnas, Bandicoots And Lyre Birds And This Sunset After A Clearing Storm Makes It All Worthwhile
My in laws have 3 acres that was being used as a junkyard in MT. We are cleaning it up and they built a cabin. The animals are returning. Such a great feeling. We still have a long way to go. In the spring the thaw brings more refuse to the surface. We just keep at it.
Echidnas, bandicoots and lyre birds— three magical-sounding words, which might even be out of Wonderland.
Echidnas, bandicoots, and lyrebirds? I think that property is becoming a video game.

Red Necked Wallabies Are Returning To Our Property That We Have Been Reforesting Since 2013
We redid the entire garden in all native plants and even given that we're in the suburbs it brought in SO much native wildlife, including a species of native bee I'd never even heard of!
Nice! My mom does that in the backyard (although we live in Chicago). She also used to be part of a group that would go to forest preserves and remove the invasive, non-native plants. There is a reason we call her plant lady…

Every country and its people have at least one stereotype about them. That's just our human nature; we find it easier to categorize people and things according to traits. Australia is no exception: people think they know what and how Australians drink and eat, what nature's really like over there, and what the most popular slang phrases are.
In 2024, Preply polled over a thousand Australians and asked them their opinion about the way folks from other countries stereotype them. 66% think that stereotypes about Australians and Australia are mostly positive. Yet they have two that they really dislike: that all Australians love 'putting shrimp on the barbie' and say 'g'day, mate'.
Peak Vicroads Humour
Now that’s priceless , could do with that in our village I gotta say !
Nothing like having bright distracting signs when you are driving. Seriously, though - it is a problem. Schools have gigantic, colourful bright signs at the roadside, servos and stores have hyper-blindingly bright signs on the highway at night, busses have advertising, cars have headlights that will burn your eyeballs out - the list goes on. Plus the speed limits change continually on the same stretch of highway, and you are forced to watch the speedo at almost all times, because if you go over you get hit with a huge fine. If they really want people to be attentive to their surroundings, there needs to be a return to common sense, and an elimination of bright advertising lights and unnecessarily blinding headlights.

Load More Replies...Yet not all stereotypes are bad. Some paint Australia and its people in a good light, and Australians are way more likely to like those. In fact, at least 42% of the Australians Preply surveyed said they liked people thinking that Australians are laid-back people. They also like the stereotype that Aussies abbreviate words (37%), and I have to agree. 'Brekkie' is a way better way to refer to breakfast.
Only 19% of Australians also agree with the stereotype that all Australians are fearful of animals. It's probably just because they grow up there and know which ones are safe to pet and which ones they'd better avoid. In fact, most local Australians will tell you that the wildlife is more scared of you than you are of them!
Aussie Farmer Uses Tractor To Create Australia Day Tribute

Load More Replies...Impressive, but this giant monocultures causes lots of problems, including the farmers. These are dead fields, which need massive input in money and time to keep growing crop. There is nothing to slow down storms, which in dry seasons carry away the fertile top layer. No animal can live there, and if fire occurs, everything is gone within minutes.

Contrary to popular belief, Aussies don't go around getting into punching fights with kangaroos. And they don't ride them, either. Kangaroos often get a bad rap: if we were to believe that one video online, all 'roos' are out to get you and your dog. But, in reality, kangaroos are pretty chill animals if they're not being disturbed.

Nullarbor, Australia
Even with the demon face in the waves in the center of the photo?
Load More Replies...It's a little difficult to gauge with this view but the cliffs vary from 60m to 120m in height.
Fun fact - Nullarbor is a vast, almost treeless plain in southern Australia, and the name comes from the Latin words "nullus" (meaning "no") and "arbor" (meaning "tree"), hence "no trees".
Some people make the mistake of trying to keep kangaroos as pets. However, they've never been domesticated, and keeping a kangaroo as a pet can be incredibly dangerous. Graeme Coulson, professor at the University of Melbourne, calls kangaroos 'vegetarian gladiators'. He explains that kangaroos only attack when provoked or cornered.

In the UK, Curlews are shy and retiring. Typical Aussie ones want to pick a fight!
I don’t think he is talking about the regular curlew. Google Stone Curlew. They are very common in Northern Australia, especially in towns and cities. Their call is blood curdling. They can also sneak up on you and scare the hell out of you. Cheeky buggers.
It would be a Bush Stone-Curlew. If they are nesting close by they will spread their wings, of around 1.5m, and run at you making a lot of noise. On their own and not being aggressive they may freeze on the spot if approached and with their grey colouring they may look like a large stone. At night you can hear their mournful cries which can be mistaken for a Bunyip. https://youtu.be/gqZsdBF-eKg
I wonder are they like geese and if they are as mad as geese I don't blame him
Think of a duck when you get near their nest, but more like the size of a Canadian goose. They are not inatly mean like geese but get very territorial around nests and breeding season
Load More Replies...So how did they put this thru the letter box then 🤔but not the mail lol or do aus have mail boxes at end of drives 😂
We do indeed have our mail boxes at the end of our driveways. We don’t tend to get snowed in so no need to have them at our front door 🙂
Load More Replies...I'm an Aussie and haven't heard of curlews, I'm hoping they just aren't common in my state, but it's more likely I'm just not observant. I've only just learned about plovers and they can be as protective as magpies (and I guess curlews) during spring.
Large pets and dingoes are the main predators of kangaroos, and that's why the cornered animals may feel the need to defend themselves when faced with a human and their dog. "Domestic dogs and kangaroos do not mix," Coulson writes. "Many attacks on people occur when a kangaroo defends itself against a dog, then the owner tries to intervene."

Viscous (Aka Vegemite) By Nathan Pyle
I am Australian and the only thing I can compare it to is thickened soy sauce. Extremely salty though I believe there is now a low salt version.
I mean it's the concentrated remnants of the brewing process (I assume it's the same origin as marmite anyway) so it's bound to be salty. It amuses me that a product that was originally just a way to use a waste product is now specifically manufactured, to the point that we have varieties without the properties of the original. I think there's low salt Marmite too.
Load More Replies...The reason Americans don't like it is because they slather in on inches thick, like peanut butter. "A thin smear" is an anathema to them. Still, all the more for us.
100% can confirm this is fact. Doesn't work so well on hoop snakes though.
Load More Replies...I'm a Kiwi and love Vegemite. Just don't spread it too thick and it's delicious.
My mom had an Aussie friend who sent me some Vegemite when I was a teen. Nobody thought to warn me that a little goes a long way. I slathered it on like peanut butter and took a huge bite. Pretty sure I drank my weight in water that day.
Yes, just spread it thinly. A case of more is not better. And it is yummy.
I hate Strange Planet so much. Also, don't slather the stuff on like it's peanut butter! A small smear is plenty. And adding a dab to your mashed potatoes really kicks up the flavour.
And I super love it. There you go. The world is in equilibrium once again. You're welcome! :-)

If caught in a rip tide swim parallel to the beach until you cross out of it. If you swim into the rip tide, it will wear you out and carry you farther out.
I learnt recently that they are rip *currents*. The name rip tide actually makes no sense because it's nothing to do with tides.

We placed information signs on the beaches, there are beach guards flagging safe areas/time, information for touristsare available on paper and online - and still every year ten persons won't return home alive. Ignoring warning because know better swimming in the dark, swimming drunk, swimming out at sunset for likes on Social Media, putting kids on floaties, diddling on the phone instead of supervising kids, not immediately calling 112 if things start to look bad but "the man" heroically jumping in (causing extra stress for the rescuers), ....
Tourist season is coming to an end in my part of Australia. 6 poor people lost there lives on our stretch of coastline alone. Some were swimming in places no local would swim. Some were trying to rescue those who had got in trouble. Isolation hampers professional help arriving in a useful time.
Load More Replies...Ignorant question from someone who's seen the ocean exactly twice in my life. How far out does one have to be before you get stuck? Like, if I'm wading...can it sweep me off my feet?
Yes, it can. They are strong currents and when they start, they can knock you off your feet. They may not be able to take you out to sea, at ankle depth, but you'll definitely feel the pull.

For those who wish to see a kangaroo, it's best to do so from a distance. 'Roos' roam in grasslands, outback plains, vineyards, and islands. In Western Australia, some kangaroos even hang out at beaches. "Their favourite spot seems to be at the western end of the beach just next to the campground where they laze around and feed on the seaweed that’s washed up," travel blogger Mark Fitz writes.

Only In Australia Can You Find Mittagong Road Leading To Bowral And Bowral Road Leading To Mittagong
Probably named by the people in those settlements. For them that's the road out of Mittagong leading to Bowral, thus Bowral Road, and vice versa.

In Dublin, there's Naas roads, leading to town of Naas. Both have totally different pronunciation
If you ever have the chance to visit Australia, Pandas, you'll probably hear that no Aussies ever say the phrase "shrimp on the barbie". That's actually a phrase from American ads popularizing tourism to Australia, titled "Come and say G'Day". In the ads, Australian actor Paul Hogan says "I'll slip an extra shrimp on the barbie for you", but Australians don't even call them shrimp! They say 'prawns'.
This Is My Reminder To You All To Use Sunscreen. The Sun Ain’t Messing Around This Year

'Brekkie', 'avo', and 'mozzies' (mosquitoes!) aren't the only diminutive nicknames Aussies use. They even have a unique way of referring to McDonald's and call it "Macca's".

The most-ordered item might surprise you as well: as it turns out, Australians really like their Macca's hash browns!

Complaint About Dog In Public Park
So the young fulla reported today that about 10:30AM some guy came up and told him he needed to leave the park because the other dogs were going off. He's got autism and has his little route that he always takes, and the parks around us have no signed restrictions around dogs (though when this guy came up he was apparently on the bench and doggo was with him. He is very well trained and as far as I know this guy was walking a pair of Daschunds).
