You could have been in her bed tonight, whispering things like "Price check isle 15"

They say 'hello, how are you?' in Canberra? I'm jealous. All I get is 'how youse gawin' or 'how's yaw day so far'. And they probably have no shoes on behind the counter (tee hee)

"Killed someone in South Africa? Well we don't normally allow that sort of thing. We'll give you a temporary visa for a couple of says to meet up with your mate Johnny the Dobber. Hope you have a nice stay."
Whereas in the NZ version they're fining people for 100s of $s for the apples given to them on the plane.

Ah, she too had just learned an Australianism in that case - was surprised you could find a European check out chick in Woolies, havent seen one of them for years! They dont usually stray from script though, have to admit that!

It would be amusing if they sprayed business and first as well although I'm not sure you'd even notice after the 20 or so Long Island Iced Teas you can fit into a 17 hour flight prior to slipping into a rum-based coma.

Re: You know you are in Australia when...
There must be some criteria on which they spray or don't spray such as mossie spread diseases in the country where the plane began. Seems daft they don't spray before people embark if there is a risk there are bugs on board. When I flew Malaysian Air in 1999 to Sydney backpacking here we were definitely sprayed and to be quite frank probably needed it.
