OnYellowBrickRd Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Don't know if this has been mentioned yet (too lazy to read through the 3 page post), but the roundabouts (traffic circles) here really get to me. They even have them on the highways . I'm usually very good with directions, but here I am totally "rigtingbedonnerd". I wonder if I will ever be able to drive anywhere without the GPS . Not to mention that there are certain lanes in the roundabouts that need to be used depending on which exit you are planning to take. Thank goodness the Aussies are patient drivers otherwise I would have been flipped the bird on more than one occasion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I also have not read through all the posts so may be repeating someone else's sentiments... Australia is just so far away from South Africa and Europe for travel. And that is where everyone important to me is. Great, it is close to Bali and Vanuatu and divine island holidays but I can get those at Moreton Island! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieWishes Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Definitely the trolleys - I can't believe we just accept it! I think we should rise up! I worry about the youth in Aus - yes, it's a wonderful place to raise children, but htere is something to be said for the kids in SA. There is very little respect for authority with Aus children. I've been shocked when kids come over and don't bother to greet me or say thanks for having them...little, I know, but a culture shock none-the-less! And how many youngsters live off the system!!!

Lyn Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 OYBR - I used to be wary at roundabouts too - Canberra is full of them - but after living here so long I actually prefer them to traffic lights - BECAUSE at our traffic lights you can have a nanna nap - wake up - and the traffic light still hasn't changed !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunnyskies Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 They said today on the radio you have 9 days to get preggers to hopefully make the cut off. Don't think it matters where conceived as long as born in time in Aus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreaL Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 It's Majy and it's Nestles as in nestles in your arm, not neslay.....get with the jargon Sa2Nz2Oz I read something that says that Australians shorten there words to keep their mouths open for a shorter time so the flies can't get in......I found that hysterical..........if the language progresses, we should all be able to communicate whilst minimally moving our lips sometime in the next decade 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
