Subject: Some cool things about Australia

Okay, a quick list of cool things about Australia:

1. The food is way better here, especially the fruits and veggies....
2. Totally awesome native wildlife...what's not to love about koalas, wombats and the dingoes...
3. The currency is colorful and sometimes counterintuitive, somewhat like Thai currency....fun looking bills and larger coins having less value than small coins (in general of course, as 5 cent pieces are as small as their worth)
4. There are bakeries around practically every corner! Great for the sweet tooth on the run...
5. Graffiti is everywhere, but only a minuscule proportion of it is of high quality...the rest is rubbish
6. Awesome geological features, as in basalt cliffs, cool stratigraphy, rugged coastlines...
7. The ocean actually looks blue, and the sand is super soft on the feet, almost like powder....feels great even in winter...
8. Everyone is friendly...always ready to suggest things and to give out directions when I'm lost
9. Super cool accent and neat slang...fair dinkum, yobbo (not so nice)...
10. Little penguins on Phillip Island, which return home like little soldiers peacefully storming the shores of Normandy...tiny waves of penguins washing ashore...unlike Normandy very bloodless, but so bloody cute!

Signing off for now...love y'all,
Joanna

There needs to be a "like" button somewhere on this board that we can check as we're reading through the messages! :)

Thanks for sharing your observations of Austrailia, Joanna!
It's the next best thing to being there ourselves! :)

Looking forward to the photos too!
- BC :)
