Aussies live by the motto: Have a go and No worries! Your supposed to try everything and not stress. It's really a great way to live and being here is really refreshing because you can see that everyone really does live that way and it's relaxing!
Instead of saying thanks and in normal conversation they always say "no worries" and its definitely worn off on all of us!
You don't say trash, its rubbish! When you say trash, someone may over here you and get upset because it's a word you don't want to be called!
Birds squawk here!! They don't do a pretty tweet like our birds, they more sound like dying children! but they are really pretty
A jetty is like a pier where boats dock
They do say g-day mate and good on ya which is used when you say a joke to someone and they take it well or when someone does something you can say that. (it's hard to explain but once you hear it a couple times you get it and start saying it too)
They call us yanks!
They say bugga or bloody a lot. Like... "Aw bugga I got bit by another bloody mosquito!"
People from New Zealand are called Kiwi's
They eat the same food we do but cook it different. Like the bacon is never crispy it looks like uncooked ham!
Everything is much more expensive especially with the currency change, BUT they include taxes into the prices so when you see that a shirt is $20 you actually pay only $20.
Alcohol is really expensive especially vodka!
Instead of a $5 footlong at subway its $7 AUD so like close to $10 US
They don't have fountain sodas anywhere! It's all can or bottle and at home I can get a can of coke for 75cents but here I paid $3.50 AUD!!
I have only seen frogs on Orpheus island so I'm very lucky....knock on wood!
Sea gulls eat baby sea turtles if they hatch during the day...didn't know that till I saw it happen. Very depressing!
Dugongs are manatees with a dolphin shaped tail and much more afraid of people and also endangered
