Australia looks beautiful, would love to go there someday.

Lovely accents, too.

Quite a few do, but not so much like it's portrayed as.

A casual g'day, is more along the lines of what is the norm, but there's some real "aussie aussies" who'd do the whole gggg'ddaaayyyyy maaateeee.

Red leader standing by.

Well, hopefully soon. I'm applying for that Island Reef job.

**CoLd BlooDed** · 01-20-2009 04:22 AM

I have a chance of moving to Australia... which I'm going to take up on as soon as the time is right.

How's Surfers Paradise? Ever been?

**Techno** · 01-20-2009 04:30 AM

Bondi Beach. Must go there.

We're not gonna live an hour away from each other anymore??

**Techno** · 01-20-2009 04:33 AM

Are we going to derail this thread with the fact that the two of you should get together in person too?

**Ozzi99** · 01-20-2009 08:20 AM

If you want screwed up weather, come to melbourne.

Note: Most of Australia is nothing like in crocodile dundee :\

Bondi is pretty busy like all the time.

Sexy girls and sexy guys, almost naked and dripping wet, all packed together under the sun.

I don't think I've ever said G'day in my life, and I don't know many people that do.

When I work in the markets I hear it a lot. Not so much amongst the shopkeepers, but there's plenty of arrogant fat guys with sunburnt skin that I'm meant to treat as customers.

G'daaaaayyyyy mate, so how do yah make these. -greasy pie fingers and crumbs-

**Adam** · 01-21-2009 02:29 PM

I've never been. In fact, I don't really go many places outside of the current house that I live in.

If you're a stereotype tourist, surfer's paradise is great.
If you're more into the natural side of Australia. Go to SA/WA, there's heaps of Aboriginal towns around there. I live in outside Melbourne but right down the bottom of Aus (maybe 3 hours from Melbourne) there is this place called Wilsons Promontory, the National Park there is A-ma-zing. One beach there (there's about 5 or more) is called squeaky beach because when you step on the sand it squeaks lol. It's really clean and white. Cool rocks to climb up on etc.

But I believe that if you go to the city areas it's going to be very similar to any other country. Really, how different can buildings be? (Don't answer that, I know they can differ enormously, but my point's still valid)
