<div>{{wrongtitle|title=#australia (IRC channel)}}<br />
'''#australia''' is a channel on [[FurNet (IRC)]] started in November 2008, frequented by furries from the country of [[Wikipedia:Australia|Australia]]. Set up as a literally anarchical alternative channel to [[OzFurs|#ozfurs]], #australia's owners run the channel without any (obvious) channel operators.<br />
<br />
The channel has three rules:<br />
<br />
# No spamming, flooding or other activity that technically impedes the ability of channel participants to chat.<br />
# Ops aren't to be used except to enforce this first rule.<br />
# :3<br />
<br />
== Registration controversy ==<br />
<br />
The official FurNet registration of #australia was initially stopped by [[ShivalWolf]] and [[Snowpony]], both of them staff on [[OzFurs|#ozfurs]] and also FurNet administrators. They did not make the reason for their objection known to the owners.<br />
<br />
The objections were later dropped and #australia was allowed to be registered.<br />
<br />
== References in Popular Culture ==<br />
<br />
Contrary to popular belief, the furry IRC channel #australia is not the point of reference in the song 'Sounds of Then (This is Australia)'. The members of Ganggajang have also never visited the channel in any way.<br />
It is unknown how this rumor started.<br />
