What do you like about Australia historically?>Starts as a British outpost in one of the most inhospitable environments on earth>Brits and Irish managed to build all these great cities>Sydney, the first British settlement, was named after Thomas Townshend, 1st Viscount Sydney, he was responsible for devising a plan to settle convicts at Botany Bay in Australia>Melbourne was named after Lord Melbourne, the Prime Minister of Great Britain at the time>The discovery of gold in Victoria in 1851 led to the Victorian gold rush, Melbourne was the richest city due to the Gold Rush>Brisbane City Hall design is based on a combination of the Roman Pantheon, and St Mark's Campanile in Venice>Brisbane has The Valley. Sydney has King's Cross. Melbourne has King's Street>QLD: Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast / Maroochydore, Brisbane, Redlands, Ipswich, Logan City, Rockhampton, Gladstone, Bundaberg, Hervey Bay, Maryborough, Yeppoon, Gympie are top tier>Sydney’s beautiful historic suburbs>Queen Victoria Building and heaps of sandstone buildings>In Australia Christmas is in the middle of summer. Perfect beach weather>White Australia Policy. If you ain't Anglo, you ain't white.>Prostitution is legal and cheap>Paradise if you like Asian women>Outback, coral reefs, desert, plains, Sydney, coasts, beaches
I like the early buildings of North America and Australasia, and the art too, because they represent the early stages of the some of the world's greatest nations today - the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.
They have the best tweakers
>>18105124>The only majority Anglo country to have a Socialist movement that actually did anything of note historically >Said Socialist movement was, for the most part, supportive of becoming a White EthnostateThe Australian socialist/union movement was pretty kino as a whole. Probably the best out of any country that never had a full on revolution. On the other hand our fascist movement was probably the gayest in the world - and I'm not using gay to mean homosexual, like in Fiume or with the BUF, but to mean lame and shit. I guess that was the trade off

I like nothing about Australia because of how much Australians in general have historically hated and to this day hate Greeks and Italians. You are pieces of shit and I hope you totally get replaced by jeets and chinese as punishment for that.

The City of Sydney [a bird's-eye view] [cartographic material] 1888By MS Hill>Although the tradition of drawing maps from birds-eye or oblique perspectives dates back to the Renaissance, their popularity flourished in the 19th century. This example, created to mark the centenary of the arrival of the First Fleet, portrays Sydney as a bustling harbour city. While some buildings featured still stand today, such as Customs House the General Post Office, most have long been demolished. For example, Fort Macquarie which stood at Bennelong Point, is now the site of the Sydney Opera House.

>Eugene von Guerard was an Austrian-born artist, active in Australia from 1852 until 1882. Known for his finely detailed landscapes in the tradition of the Düsseldorf school of painting>In 1852 arrived in Victoria, Australia, determined to try his luck on the Victorian goldfields. As a gold-digger he was unsuccessful, but he did produce a large number of intimate studies of goldfields life,Old Ballarat as it was in the summer of 1853-54, 1884.jpg1853/1854 BALLARAT DIARY AND SKETCHES>Tea prepared at a good fire we had made of dead wood. The water, obtained from small waterholes in the rooky parts the creek, was thick and full of frogs; nevertheless we thoroughly enjoyed the tea we made with it! Along the route the vegetation was of much interest--- Wattle, sheoak, honeysuckle, eucalyptus, etc, all quite new to me.Jan. 18th>After travelling for a week, we have arrived at Ballarat. The journey has been interesting in many ways. The forests of immense gum-trees, the waterholes of which we camped at night, the unpleasant discovery of a scorpion as a bedfellow, the intolerable flies, etc. were all new experiences. We occasionally passed human habitations, and one day met a poor young fellow who had been attacked by bushrangers, robbed of his horse, and all the money he possessed, and then tied to a tree. When we saw him he was in a cart with a man and a woman, who had heard his cries, and rescued him. The poor fellow’s arms and legs were terribly swollen form the tight ropes with which he had been bound to the tree. Ballarat consists of a camp of tents, and some buildings constructed of boards. One building, made of the trunks of trees, constitutes the prison, and is often the temporary abode of bushrangers, and also of diggers who can’t --- or won’t ---- pay their licence.
>>18105509Nobody here hates Italians, and you will be hard to pressed to find even the most anglo presenting Australian that doesn't at least have some Italian ancestry. Greeks on the other hand are incredibly stupid and obnoxious people from my experience.
>>18105124Nothing much because it's fucking boring. But so is all modern history.>>18105509That's a 4cuck meme. Nobody actually cares about Greeks or Italians.
>>18105124>>Starts as a British outpost in one of the most inhospitable environments on earthNew South Wales and Victoria are absolutely NOT inhospitable wastelands, I don't know where this meme about Australia started, but Victoria is straight up a pleasant mild climate not too different from the Southern USA or even England in winter.The crazy part of Australia only starts hundreds of kilometers inland, but the first settlers were doing pretty alrighty in comparatively mild climate.
>>18105509You a time traveller from 1950, mate? Half of Melbourne these days is gonna be a mix of Anglo and Wog ancestry
>>18105913>Just casually "Terraform" a land area bigger than Germany, Poland and France combined broIt's not exactly simpleAlso, Australia's existing arable land is already greater than entire European countries, we literally don't need to Terraform the outback or anything, plus it's already being used for cattle so it's not unproductive or anything
