well all i've seen is Sola where i live, near Stavanger. his family are from Farsund, very south, i've worked in Bergen for about 6 months, and travelled from Oslo over the mountains to Sola, and around theses areas, but never been up north, neither has he, so we hope to do it before we leave for oz,

i can't wait to leave but it is such a diverse country....and the best thing is the moonshine and strawberries..which are nearly in season!!!!
I've been past Stavanger on the ferry to Bergen from Newcastle. My brother worked there for a while. My mother lives in Ulvik, then I have some family in Oslo, some in Hamar and Lillehammer and then up to Tromso (where my grandfather is from). His family come from even further north, up by the finnish/russian border.

You can't beat alpine strawberries

It's actually a bit of a drag not being able to have a conversation with a bloke... It happened a lot in the UK... something about a 5'10" blonde chick scares them. Perhaps they're less scared here... I dunno.
I'm married to an Aussie, so this proves they have taste.

Not every Australian has an AQI! That's mainly a Southern Aus thing - not everyone talks like they're from Neighbours!

When you have been here long enough, you will notice the subtle differences in the language, and be able to tell were some one is from by accent or words they say ...............mm

Indeed.... there's a very marked difference in accents here, SA, WA, EA, NT, etc. They're all different.

Mr ipom hardly has any sort of accent at all ... he sounds like he's from 'somewhere' but people usually can't figure out where.
