Good point August.

Does Australia even do war? Have they had any wars apart from the World Wars? I looked at Wikipedia but couldn't find any...

Yep as well as Korea, Afghanistan and Kuwait and Iraq. The Aussies have every reason to be proud of their war record.

You didn't try that hard did you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_Australia
We have been involved in the following military actions post WWII:

Korean War
Malayan Emergency
Indonesian-Malaysian Confrontation
Vietnam War
Gulf War 1
Gulf War 2
Afghanistan
East Timor
Plus a bunch of peacekeeping missions in places like Somalia, Solomon Islands, Cambodia and Rwanda.

No we don't do our own wars we usually join someone elses.

Many jokes that people from the small island of Tasmania are inbred (their parents are relatives), and they have two heads. "Watch out for people with scar on the shoulder"! (The scar is left after second head was removed).
Tasmania is often jokingly identified as "not part of Australia" by mainlanders.
Another joke is based on Tasmania shape. If you can’t figure out what "Map of Tasmania" looks like, ask any male from 18 to 99 what is it. You get the answer for sure!

You might not want to say that to her face. Could be hazardous to your health.
