As Australians celebrate their national day by getting incredibly drunk, we thank them for the great things their country has brought us.
1. Neighbours
![Glasgow Times:]( "Glasgow Times:")
Without neighbours, there would be no Harold Bishop, and that doesn't bear thinking about.
2. Kylie Minogue
Anyone who claims they don't enjoy the music of Kylie Minoque is, frankly, a liar.
3. A place to move to when we finally get sick of Scottish weather
Thanks for being there for us when it gets too much.
4. Koala bears
Seriously, thank you for this gift of cuteness.
5.The Hemsworth brothers
Genetics have been kind to this family.
6. Hugh Jackman
We are firm fans of Wolverine, so thanks for that Australia.
7. Olivia Newton John
Right?
8. Kangaroos are cool
Look, it's a kangaroo playing with a dog!
9. Kangaroos are scary
Oh no...
10. Summer Heights High
What would we do with Ja'mie King in our lives?
11. Barbecues
Eating lots of meat outdoors when it's sunny? Yep, we like that.
12. Remember this song?
Yep, it turns out Gotye is part Australian, so its all thanks to the Aussies for having this stuck in our heads constantly!
