Yes and no. Australia is lucky to be in the economic, social, and political state it is in now. This luck stems from little more than the vast deposits of Natural Resources located on the continent. The author who coined the phrase, Donald Home, intended it as a facetious remark.
However, facetious or not, there are many reasons why Australia really is considered the Lucky Country. Its wealth of natural resources would enable it to be one of the truly self-sufficient countries of the world, if it needed to be.
It is multicultural, and people from other countries who have skills to offer and a contribution to make to society are welcomed, as long as they apply for entry legally.
It is a wealthy country, with a healthy economy, and one of the few that rode out the Global Financial Crisis with minimla impact.
it is a peaceful country, with no civil wars and no ongoing conflicts with neighbouring countries.
It is unique for its landmarks and animals.
It has a good climate, ideal for outdoor living, although the summers down south can see heatwaves and bushfires. However, though harsh at times, it is not a climate that is depressing or gloomy.
It is a free country, where political freedom is permitted, and people can choose their own religion or none at all.
Everyone has the right to a good education, and to healthcare that (though often criticised by Australians) is one of the best systems in the world.

We have golden soil and beautiful beaches and places and no wars.
Lots of nature around us to breathe and we got Chinese and every nationality come to our country and open restaurants and serve beautiful food.
Throughout its short history, Australia has been a land that promises new opportunities. It is a land of religious and political freedom, with a relatively low unemployment rate. Education and health standards are high, and the majority of the population enjoys a good standard of living.
It is ironic that, for the original indigenous Australians, their standards of health, education and living in general are the lowest of any social group.
It is only an opinion to say that Australia is the best country to live in. Not everyone would agree. However, Australia does have many noticeable benefits that make it a very attractive country.
Australia is a country which is consistently performing well in terms of currency, economic expansion/growth and employment. It weathered the GFC very well compared to many other countries. It has high standards of health care - even though Australians themselves complain a great deal, these are the people who have not had the opportunity to compare health care levels and affordability to that of other countries. Educational standards are high, and political freedom is assured. Although a hot country, its population appreciates the clear, fine weather enjoyed for much of the year in most parts of the country, and the fact that there are so many outdoor activities one can enjoy. Many Australians are proud of the unique wildlife that is found on the continent as well.
Australia is actually nicknamed "the lucky country".
It is not unlucky at all. The citizens of Australia enjoy a very high standard of living, a high standard of education and medical facilities, and Australia weathered the Global Financial crisis better than most other westernised nations.
