That we ride Kangaroos to school. - Some Americans actually believe this.
Everyone says "G'day" or "mate" and loves vegemite. - These are stereotypes.
That all people here are laid-back - We have a more casual lifestyle, but I wouldn't say we are laid-back.

Las Vegas looks like this in the eyes of a tourist:
In reality:
I don't live in Las Vegas, I live in Miami. But the same concept applies. Everyone sees it as a tourist attraction and fails to realize that it's just a normal city.
I live in New York, but upstate. I think most people just think of New York City when you say NY and fail to realize the rest of it is actually pretty rural. There's a ton of farms and nature here too. And not everyone in NY speaks with a sterotypical "New Yahker"-ish type accent
That everyone in Ireland are leprechauns, with frizzy red hair and freckles.
The stereotype that everyone is a drunk is actually true. The obsession with alcohol in Ireland is an absolute disgrace tbh, like being a non-drinker (which I am) is one of the hardest things ever, there's about 10 of us in the entire country.
