Australia

Imagine one fourth of our state completely destroyed in a wildfire — that's the same amount of land Australia has lost to its brush fires.

Is Australia a country? This professor argues the facts. What do you think?

Yet another Aussie hottie who makes us want to go Down Under.

Have you ever said something, maybe asked someone a question, only to realize later that it may have sounded a little different than you intended? That certainly happened to the co-anchors on Channel Nine's Today morning show in Australia.

This really shouldn't come as any surprise but Australia is freakin' dangerous. The former British prison colony is home to some of the deadliest wildlife in the world.

The hostage situation in Sydney finally came to an end Monday after about 16 hours. Police stormed Lindt Chocolate Cafe at Martin Place when they heard a gun go off, and then the hostages ran out. Three people were killed, including the gunman, and some were injured, Sydney's Seven News reported. However, 15 out of the 17 hostages made it out alive, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.

7News Sydney's Peter Steer was on his way to report on an incident in Australia where a man broke into a woman's home, injuring her and then fleeing on his motorcycle. While en route to the crime scene, a man on a motorcycle flagged him down and confessed to the crime on camera!

So, apparently it doesn't hail much in Australia. Either that or it hails all the time and this guy has somehow has never seen it before.

A radio show in Australia was made aware of a tree in town where magpies constantly attacked anyone walking or riding by on a bicycle. So, it sent out one of its co-hosts, Amber Wheatland, to see if they could come up with a way to repel the beasts from above.

Kangaroos aren’t generally seen as territorial animals. So, they should never have anything to fight about, right? Wrong.
