The top 10 most enjoyable things about Australia(ns)

OK. Fair is fair. I promised to follow up "The top 10 most annoying things about Australia(ns)" with the 10 things we love. Of course, this is the personal opinion/likes and dislikes of the writer, but here goes...

10. Round abouts! They are everywhere here. They work and people know how to drive through them.
9. Being able to actually use the terms "g'day", "cheers", "mate"(friend), and "good on ya" without sounding like a idiot.
8.When you are having a few drinks they call it being "on the piss". (I want a license plate in the states that says that)
7.Morning tea. Every day people stop what they are doing around 10:30 and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, always accompanied by cake or biscuits. A grand tradition!
6.Experiencing so many different types of great food.
5.Kangaroos!
4.The abundant bike paths...just about everywhere.
3.The amazing collection of people from all over the world here.
2.The weather in Perth. It is just superb;

And the number one thing about living here that is a source of constant joy to me...
1.The incredible, beautiful Indian Ocean.

I couldn't agree more. I suppose if your list was just for Perth it would be different and might include things like:
King's Park
Swan River
and
All those cool birds we get around here!
