“This land is cursed; the animals hop not run, birds run, not fly and the swans are black not white. This land is cursed and I’ll have nothing more to do with it,” wrote William Dampier, one of the first Europeans to ever explore the continent of Australia, back in 1688.
In case you didn’t know, 26 January is the national day of Australia. And what could be a more beautiful way to celebrate the occasion than by honoring all the little things that make this country the beautiful, interesting and absolutely bizarre place that it is. With that being said, Bored Panda invites you to look through some of our favorite photos shared by people on the interwebs proving that Australia isn’t just another country, but a whole different world.
