To our international friends, Australia can have a rep for
Crocodile Dundee jokes, poisonous animals and

mushy peas. What you'll find when you visit the new (ish)
Google Australia Blog
are the real reasons why Google has made a significant investment
in Australia. And right now there's a post explaining the
special doodle that was on the Google Australia homepage for NAIDOC

Both an engineering and sales hub, our Aussie team is an eclectic
mix of people from all walks of life. We're lucky enough to be
the home of the original

we're at the forefront of global product releases. Aussie
Googlers don't take ourselves too seriously, we love a good

cause (so long as we're

beating the Poms in the Ashes).
Visit our blog to read about new product launches for our
Australian users, musings on life as an Aussie Googler and what the
team gets up to in the community. (Also, stop by if you want to see
words like "centre", "maximise" and
"humour" spelt correctly). We hope to see you there!
