KillarneyRose,
(a) I do know that Aussie men do have bad reputations, but the guys that I found were fine, but then again, I was in Melbourne, which is a pretty big city (it's up there with Sydney)...the Aussie men were probably as "progressive minded" about women as American guys and Canadian guys are. That being said, you will find all ranges of the spectrum. Also, I think that in Australia, if you go off to a sheep station in the Outback, like Alice Springs or something, then yes, you will likely encounter the worst of the worst when it come to boorish, sexist Aussie men.
(b) The "oot and aboot thing"...I think that people from Atlantic Canada say that, rather than people who are Quebec and West, i.e. Ontario, BC, etc. This is because Atlantic Canada is the most "English/British" part of Canada (people are supremely loyal to England in that part of Canada, and they don't forget their Anglo-Saxon roots), and they have a bit of a Scottish'y brogue in their accent. Hence the "oot and aboot" for "out and about".
