You need a medical before joining a gym , at the medical they take $35 dollars and ask you to touch your toes, job done
They have water that tastes like neat chlorine
They have pick up trucks called utes that come supplied with dog skidding about on the back, sometinmes tied to roll bar , sometimes being dragged up road under wheels,.
Thats all the good stuff

As for the dogs in utes they are mad run all over the back looking like they will jump on your car at any time.
I can't speed there's bloody speed cameras in snorkels everywhere I go.
They have an immigration policy but not as we know it, seem to want trades/skilled people unlike some other country we could mention...
.They have a form for everything and if possbible in triplicate.
They have thongs we have flip flops (have I already said this one???)
