Australian poet Dorothea Mackellar (1885 - 1968) once wrote about Australia:

I love a sunburnt country
A land of sweeping planes
...

She obviously didn't read the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper about modern Australia:

1. We are still a bloody convict settlement
2. We have giant waves (though not as big as Hawaii's)
3. We have killer chooks!
   

and so like the latest ad for Australia asks: "Where the bloody hell are you?"
