442. Potassium permanganate. Dip it into a solution mixed with water - three times a day.
443. No - nothing rude - they're more commonly referred to as 'fruit machines' in the UK.
444. Actually, a block's what you build your house on - a plot's what they'll bury you in when you get 'farewelled'.
445. If you like endless cheesy wrist-slashingly bad soft rock interspersed with the occasional Leo Sayer track then you're laughing. For everyone else there's podcasts from the BBC.
446. Tuesdays. It will rise by as much as 10c by Saturday in order to take advantage of all those weekend trippers.
447. Not at all. The social network you had in the UK probably evolved over many decades - you can't expect to recreate that here in six months.
448. David Jones.
449. Swim parallel to the beach until you're out of the current, then swim in.
450. Yes. Much greener.

453.Yes it is a pain that your towels are rock solid because you left them out in the heat all day.However think of all the times that you moaned in the uk about it pouring down with rain the second you hung out your washing.
454.No your husband isnt having a midlife crisis.Lots of men suddenly need a spa,a swimming pool and a pool table and a beer fridge in every corner of the garden.Its normal.

454. Yes it probably is technically illegal to change your own plugs in QLD but everyone does it and they sell them in Bunnings.
455. Yes we are only a day away but when you factor in cost and trying to find a flight at the last minute, it could be a week.
456. Daybreak and GoTalk are both excellent
457. iiNet
458. Yes Australians (rightly or wrongly) are proud of their country. Deal with it.
