Hey you Brits.....is there anything.... (warning, contains spiders)
in Australia that you had difficulties or maybe have now, in adjusting with the Aussie Culture? Maybe the weather? What do you think about Australians in general? The huntsman spiders?

Magpies. One swooped me when I was on the bike once. Came as a bit of a shock.

Re: Hey you Brits.....is there anything
Aussies are fine by and large, the mainstream media is shit though so don't confuse the two.
Spiders? I'm adjusting to them, gradually.
Tip 1 - Don't miss things, find other things
Tip 2 - Don't do the comparison thing
Tip 3 - Join a sports/social club
Tip 4 - Don't deliberately hang around with Brits
That's it, 6 years in a nutshell ...

Never heard anywhere in Victoria referred to as sub tropical before.
