Re: You know you are in Australia when...
Makes me laugh when they ask how I can live without air con........erm I managed for 40 years, why shouldn't I still be able to manage? And a heck of a lot of Aussies manage too!

Re: You know you are in Australia when...
What a weird sign! I wonder how many subscribers here have never seen a kangaroo in the wild. From my own experience, 'roos are not all that common. I was brought up on a sheep farm on the Darling Downs (Qld), where sighting were very rare. Dad's car didn't even have a 'roo-bar. The closest I ever got to one in my life was on a visit "home" many years later at my brother's house in Buderim - a small town north of Brisbane - where two or three were cantering around in the gully next door.

Here in the Blue Mountains, I've seen a fair few crossing our local road. Still a special sight that I can't get used to.
Koalas though.. I'd love to see a koala in the wild.
