Re: Do Australian use A/C? - like do the shops have airconditioning

Re: restaurants close so early here

I guess it's a cultural thing. For example, in Sweden people seem to eat lunch at about 11.30am and dinner at about 6.00pm, which always seems odd to me...

Re: Doctors?

Yes, you almost certainly will have to pay because — apart from anything else — it's not a repeat prescription as far as the doctor is concerned, so he or she will probably want to see you in...

Re: Driving from Adelaide to Sydney - info?

I agree with the others: the most direct route is via Hay, with overnight stops in Mildura and Wagga Wagga if you want to take three days and a stop at Hay if you want to do it in two days.

Re: cost of citizenship

MaggieM is right - not to apply for citizenship because of the cost is a false economy, both in monetary terms if you intend to stay in Australia and in real terms.

Re: Anyone from Toronto, ON, heading back to UK?

Your children's children won't have the right of abode in the UK. They will have (if the law hasn't changed by then) the right to apply for an ancestry visa, which is not the same thing at all. While...
