What is it like?

I have to say I loved this place, everywhere I went had something different to offer.

There were the Blue Mountains, white squeaky sandy beaches, surf, reefs, rain forests, amazing deserts and creatures.

People were friendly and helpful;

The climate was great as well you were literally happy to see a bit of rain now and again and when it rains boy does it rain!

The southern stars were also sight to see totally mad compared to what I am used to.

Cities were clean tidy and while they could be busy there was so much space not like the people dodging in London and the transport systems were reliable.

As I am sure you have heard the Auzzies can party too if that’s what you want.

There was always something going on if you wanted it for all ages, sexes, cultures and nationalities.

Sydney harbour bridge, Sydney opera house, the Great Barrier Reef, BBQ’s, slang, Kangaroos and Koalas, The Melbourne cup, cricket, Auzzie rules football, boomerangs, Neighbours, home and away, Rolf Harris, Ayers Rock, Aboriginals , Fosters Larger (although eh local beers Carleton cold, VB and Tooheys are all much better than that shit)
