13 weird facts about Australia

If you didn’t know, The Aussie Hermit is from Australia.

And so in this email I’m going to impart on you 13 weird and wonderful facts about my “you-beaut” country.

Enjoy!

Weird Fact 1:

Former Prime Minister Bob Hawke (Australia’s version of your ‘President’) set a Guinness world record for sculling (downing) 2.5 pints of beer in 11 seconds.

Yes, this is who we vote in to run the country.

Weird Fact 2:

Australia's first police force was made up of the most well-behaved convicts.

Read that again.

Weird Fact 3:

In 1832, 300 female convicts ‘mooned’ the governor of Tasmania. It was said that in a "rare moment of collusion with the Convict women, the ladies in the Governor's party could not control their laughter."

(I also wonder if these convict women were part of the police force, too?)

Weird Fact 4:

Australia is home to the longest fence in the world. It is 5,614 km long (3,000+ mi), and was originally built to keep dingoes away from fertile land (and, also stealing babies).

Weird Fact 5:

Before the arrival of humans, Australia was home to megafauna: three metre tall kangaroos, seven metre long goannas, horse-sized ducks, and a marsupial lion the size of a leopard.

Weird Fact 6:

Australia is one of the only countries where its country folk eat the animals on their coat of arms (and they're delicious!)

Weird Fact 7:

The Australian Alps receive more snowfall than Switzerland (Yes, it actually gets very cold in certain parts!)

Weird Fact 8:

European settlers in Australia drank more alcohol per capita than any other society in history.

Weird Fact 9:

The average Aussie drinks 96 litres of beer per year.

Weird Fact 10:

The wine cask (AKA: ‘goon sack’) is an Australian invention (we’ve got a lot of history with alcohol it seems).

Weird Fact 11:

This "selfie" is an Aussie invention (not sure I’m too proud of that).

Weird Fact 12:

An Australian man once tried to sell New Zealand on eBay (heh).

Weird Fact 13:

Captain James Cook first landed on Australia's east coast in 1770. In 1788, the British returned with eleven ships to establish a penal colony. Within days of the The First Fleet's arrival and the raising of the British flag, two French ships arrived, just too late to claim Australia for France.

Thank God.

So there you have it…

13 weird and wonderful facts about Australia.

But how can you use this info to get clients, right?

Well, the truth is…

You can’t.

Not directly, anyway.

But indirectly you can take this profitable lesson away:

You’re subscribed to this list to get help attracting clients or growing your coaching business. And yet, you’ve just read an email that has nothing to do with attracting clients or growing your business. Up until this point it’s just been a list of weird facts about Australia.

So why are you reading it?

The answer is obvious.

Because it’s entertaining.

So if you want your emails consumed over and over again - make them entertaining.

Of course, you want to add in real valuable content as well otherwise they’ll go somewhere else to get help.

Therefore, the key to sending profitable emails your list loves to read (and buy from) - is to send emails that entertain AND deliver valuable content.

If you want to know how to do both (even if you’re not a natural “entertainer”), buck on over to this link:
