It's great. We have the world's biggest rock, the seventh largest desert, and the largest island composed entirely of sand. We also have the world's most venomous snake, jellyfish, ant, and tree. Speaking of trees, eucalyptus trees are highly flammable and have been known to explode when burnt, or sometimes for no reason at all. They are also poisonous. In fact, everything in Australia is poisonous unless otherwise stated, and most of the non-poisonous things will kill you in other ways. Beware of drop bears.

It's a prison island.  If you go there, wear a money belt.   ;)
