The story of Santa Claus is an American one. So he lives in the North Pole. Sorry, it may take him a bit longer to get to Australia but don't worry because of the time difference it will be one of the first places he'll go to. The American version of St. Nicholas, or Santa Claus originally came from the Dutch version called Sint Klaas. The Dutch settlers in New Amsterdam (New York) brought this fun and lively tradition (some even say cult) to America.
