The Lonely Planet has 10 rules that should be followed to ensure a great holiday here. Some of them are practical and I'll leave those out however I thought you'd enjoy these:
- Willingness to call absolutely everyone "mate" whether you know them or even like them.
- Sunscreen, "sunnies" and a hat to deflect the fierce UV rays.
- Taking yourself less seriously for the inevitable times when locals "take the piss".
- A suitcase size wardrobe that anticipates the country's climatic variations.
- Extra strength insect repellants to fend off merciless flies and mosquitoes.
and our very personal favourite....and we DO MEAN FAVOURITE!!!
- Memorize the meaning of the word "irony"!!!
Before we leave I hope to devote an entry to how to speak the language. It has been so much fun to hear English as spoken by the Aussies. Here's a taste: A park ranger we met asked us where we were from and when we said "Canada", he asked if that was three words.
