You've all forgotten about the best of all.
Football, meat pies, BBQ's, kangaroos, Holden cars, Kylie Minogue..........it's right under your nose (or feet in fact) .

Have to agree with Gumby :D :D
OZ has to be the greatest place on earth :D :D

Didn't the Romans build the walls to keep the scots out.

Its hard to beat the Brits for the depth and breadth of the British Empire - - substantial occupation in every continent in the world.

Thjought you were going to suggest Timboon, cheese, crackers and Bob, what else does a forward thinking civilisation need :D
The poll asks for a "civilisation" not an empire.
methinks there is a big difference..... in the case of this poll I reckon that gets rid of the Yanks and the poms for starters! The Chinese certainly were a civilisation in their own right. The Incas also and you could say the same for the Aztecs, certainly the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Japanese and many others. There have been many cicvilisations over the millenia but the Poms and especially the yanks just don't make it.
I voted for the acient egyptians as they were an old civilization when the greeks where beginning to form a city states
Bob don’t forget mate, a lot of ginger.Quote:
