I'm not so sure about that, you only need to look at Hollywood. It is swarming with aussies; Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, Judy Davis, Russell Crown, Mel Gibson, Cate Blanchett, Hugh Jackman, Rose Byrne, Toni Collette, the Hemsworths...
Not really. Australians are generally more conditioned to travelling for long distances. Combine that with family/cultural ties and the convenience of holidaying in a country where the English language prevails.
I'm surprised that the UAE doesn't feature given its international flight hub status
The UK only has the Pitcairn Islands and Chagos Islands that are close to Australia, and both are very difficult to travel to. The USA has American Samoa, which doesn't seem like it would be very popular, considering Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu, etc, don't make it. I think a lot of Australians do travel to Hawaii, which of course is part of the US.
I think it has to do with the fact that UK is probably an official way of writing it, kind of like DPRK (for North Korea) or USA. However, I do wish NZ would work for the quizzes on here
I was surprised that Papua New Guinea isn't on there since it's practically swimming distance from Australia, but looking it up it appears that PNG doesn't have a whole lot in the way of a tourist industry.
Yeah me too. Ive met many Aussies in Canada and i thought that since they're culturally more or less similar and they're both English speaking, it would be on the list. Im guessing the distance is a limiting factor. Most of the other countries on this list are close to Australia
