I went to see some of my cousins in Australia earlier this year (and well, to watch the world cup).
This is what surprised me as well. Maybe it was the weather, or maybe it was the atmosphere of the world cup, but everywhere in Australia felt like a vacation. People were generally happy, welcoming and relaxed. I've never seen anything like that after traveling through more than 20 countries (not in Europe though).
