Well... I don't know too much about Aussies...
But as much as I complain about the life here in the southern US (rednecks, hicks, back-country, etc etc)... one thing that I really do love about the people and the area...
The personal consideration everyone has for each other.
Here in the South, if your car breaks down, let alone an accident, someone will stop. Southerners are easily the most polite and considerate people that I have ever encountered, and it rubs off.
(Of course... life in the cities, like Atlanta or Charlotte, behavior tends back to typical urban politeness... which means it's all but nonexistant).
