My mind has that perception of Australia as it is shown in "Crocodile Dundee" also

That was filmed in what's known as the outback and bush. People do live in areas like it, but not many. Most live in the cities so the character Mick Dundee didn't need to go to America to experience them. 😆 However, apart from the beaches those areas are still seen as quintessentially Australian and usually included in tourism campaigns.

I suspect that the soap operas Neighbours and Home and Away might be better representitives of life in Australia. Hopefully less melodramatic, though. 😉
