Haven’t Australians just moved to US - Keith Urban, Chris Hemsworth, Russel Crowe, Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie and the list goes on … it’s not the same way as Japanese’s or Korean output, because English as the native language makes the transition seamless and doesn’t stand out. Oh! I forgot JIRA and Atlassian are Australian too :D Now you really can’t deny you haven’t felt the Australian influence in your life. Lol

That's a good point, the US might just be sucking all the culturally relevant output out of the country.

  I think Australia imports too much American culture. So we want to participate in the same culture. So the stars try and get work in Hollywood. At least singers participating in K Pop bands is within the region. It’s too bad because Australia produces some really good stuff and most of it never gets the attention it deserves, not even from Australians.

That is a relatively recent change. In the 80-90's, the most popular destination for Australians was the UK: Nick Cave, Kylie Minogue, Lisa Gerrard (of Dead Can Dance fame) and many others moved up there.

  >Wifi, actually, was developed there (CSIRO patents) Ehhh thats more like CSIRO patent trolls for wifi. My recollection is that the particular trick they patented was already in use in CDMA networks, the CSIRO did it using 2.4GHz on a low power device and called it a new invention. But honestly it reeks of Microsoft pursuing anyone using a file allocation table

Most are probably on the west coast California, Washington, Oregon and Canada (British Columbia). And let’s not forget Hawaii.
