Love to catch up with you both before you head to Perth. Do you fancy meeting up for a coffee or drink before you go? I have no set plans so I can fit in with you. No problem if your time is booked it has been nice to have contact ðŸ˜€

Unfortunately I will be away traveling with my daughter during this time. I am here until December so if you are here again later I would love to meet for a coffee. ðŸ˜€

Oh I see, that Ozzie humor at work hehehe
Do you live here or just on time out from that busy Sydney life?
I am Perth girl from the sunny white shores of Western Australia

Cant fault the Oz humour! :thumbsup:

My Goddaughter lives in Oz, with her Brit Mum and Oz Dad. In Coffs Harbour. Sadly we dont get to see her much anymore, but were really lucky at the start of the year as she was doing a school exchange in Belgium. So even with the very strict rules about meeting up (she isn't 18 yet) we were able to spend a good day together.

They eat their steaks blue or rare.... and the humour there goes like this when ordering blue/rare

"Wipe its bum, take off its horns and slap it on a plate! " :)

Years ago (errr decades) there was a funny book helping us Brits to get the accent/lingo right:

I remember 2 of the many....

The book title 'Let stalk strine' (lets talk Australian) and.....

'Les en Jem' (Ladies and Gentlemen)

;)

Have a great trip to Perth, Mike and look forward to hearing all about it next time we all cross.....

Bon voyage

Jon

I've got that book somewhere - my Ozzie sister gave it a long time ago. I'll have to dig it out.

We are doing a round trip of Oz at breakneck speed: Perth + campervan to do a bit of wild camping; Cairns/Port Douglas for a bit of diving on the GBR; Sydney to swim in backpacker's rip on Bondi; Melbourne for the penguins; stopovers in Hong Kong to climb the giant Buddha. Then we are coming back to CE in November.

The bucket trip we had to postpone in 2012. At last, I have the clearance to do it!!
