Australian aviation is most conspicuous by its relative

Despite being a seemingly ideal place for aircraft owners
and pilots
the percentage of Australians who fly is substantially
lower than in
the US, and their aircraft industry is nearly nonexistent.

Obviously you haven't bothered to glance at a map of
Australia, dunce.

There's hardly anywhere worth flying to. There's barely
enough demand to keep a civil airline aloft.

According to a TV ad I saw, Australians have corks dangling
from their hats, live in wooden shacks on parched scrubland,
and have old beaten-up Cessnas which they fly from their
dusty airstrips to go to the shop for beer.

So there may be lots of airstrips, but without the kind of
facilities or attractions you're used to...just parched
wilderness and a drunken redneck with a shotgun.
