"Australia" is the 20th episode of the fifth season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 116th overall. It was aired on April 23, 2014. The episode was written by Elaine Ko & Danny Zuker and directed by Steven Levitan.
The whole family travels to Australia where Phil (Ty Burrell) was conceived and he wants to connect to his late mother by visiting the country.
Phil hires an Australian guide (Mark Coles Smith) to show them the land, however Jay (Ed O'Neill) and Claire (Julie Bowen) barely participate in the vacation because they want to work on a project for their work that allow them to triumph over the "Closets Closets Closets Closets" company in a competition. They find different excuses to leave the others so they can finish it, something that makes Gloria (Sofía Vergara) and Phil mad. While Jay and Claire are busy, Gloria and Phil try to enjoy the country but after a number of "accidents" Gloria is not sure if she can keep Phil safe anymore. Phil gets stung by jellyfish, bitten by mosquitoes, has an allergic reaction after having a vegemite sandwich, and he even gets punched in the face by a kangaroo.
Haley (Sarah Hyland) rejects a hot surfer who flirts with her because she believes that Australia's main export is hot surfers so she can not get the first one who appeared. She also says the same to Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) about buying a souvenir since her daddies gave her money to buy only one thing. So, the two of them along with Alex (Ariel Winter) spend the whole day watching souvenirs to find the perfect one.
Under the belief that Bondi Beach is a nudist beach, Luke (Nolan Gould) and Manny (Rico Rodriguez) want to spend the time at the beach so they can "admire" the topless women. They spot one and Luke runs into the water to try and talk to her but a strong wave pulls him under and causes him to lose his swim trunks. The topless woman sees that something happened and when she learns what it is, she offers to help him find his trunks saying that it will not be hard since the water is really clear, something that makes Luke panic.
