I would like to be able to answer the question: Doko kara ki mashita ka? with the correct translation for "Australia" kara ki mashite.
Could someone please help me with translation for "Australia"?

Thankyou for that at least I know how to write it in Katakana now. i was hoping for spoken Japanese translation though and some of those translation sites just seem to go in circles.

OK, I found by accident this website
http://jisho.org/words?jap=&eng=australia&dict=edict&romaji=on

very helpful. Now can anyone tell me which translation I use for in th context of where i come from. goushuu or o-sutoraria. I think the second one makes sense but is it correct one to use?

Also I have been reading the learning tips, and I am off to buy a japanese dictionary or kids japanese dictionary...not sure where from but its on my list of things to do.

dictonary this site is good:

sadly it is in Romaji, but as long as you dont try too talk them this site should be fine.

oーsutoraria sounds correct too me, the other one is maybe a another way too say
