I've never heard of it. Damn my American education.
I'll be visiting Wikipedia shortly to learn more about it.

Don't blame your American education, perhaps you didn't listen well in class. Australia is one of our closest and most dear allies, having fought with us hand in hand in every single major battle since WWII.

As an American, I hold Australia and all of her people quite dear.

Or maybe I wasn't taught about it in class. Like I've already said. Perhaps you should troll someone else with your ignorant comments and don't try and tell me what I was or wasn't taught in school.

So you are telling me that (assuming you only finished grade school), you were never taught anything about Australia? You never watched any documentaries about any American history, or wars with American involvement?

Also, you should familiarize yourself with the term "troll" and "ignorant" before using them, I was never disrespectful.

What this guy is saying is in most schools you don't learn much about other countries, except major events which, this is. Assuming this would come under History, here in England, we don't learn about foreign events? Why should we! Of course we learn about massive events, WW2, WW1, Cold War... We just learn things like English Civil War, Victorians, Stuarts. All English events! But Australia is tucked away in the bottom of Earth and don't take this offensive anyone but there isn't many interesting events in Australia, the only thing I have learnt is it was a big Alcatraz Island(a prison). And basic stuff, capital, animals that live there.. We don't all sit at home at night and watch documentaries, in my opinion they are boring. However stop griefing people just because some people didnt know what Anzac Day is. And no I'm not trying to be rude so don't say, 'learn respect' 'omg we learn about your country learn ours!'
