You're welcome. Anything planned while you're in Aus?

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (33845) 5 years ago

Picked up the SUV, currently in Brisbane, then on to Gold Coast, Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Newcastle, rounding it off with 5 nights in Sydney, then back home.

Amazing stuff. Hope it's all good times. It's kind of cold in Aus right now, so hopefully you're only experiencing warm weather.

Everybody in Brisbane are wearing jackets; I’m strolling around in Ray Bans, t-shirt, shorts and flip flops - bloody tourist.

[–] Wint3rFir3 (6923) 5 years ago

Ha! You are one, so wear your label with pride I guess?

Aussie wine and beer, what’s not to like?

FOSTERS. It's Australian for Beer.

Castlemaine - they don’t give a XXXX for anything else.

Okay then.

Finally found a link

They did make whole series of ads in the 80s - quite funny.

I loved Fosters' "How To Speak Australian" commercials.

Don't bring any apples into the country! They don't like that.

reply

[–] sslssg (27744) 5 years ago

True! You shouldn't bring any fresh food across a border. Especially to an island nation.

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (33845) 5 years ago

We didn’t bring anything edible in.

reply

[–] Stratego (29252) 5 years ago

I was watching Border Security and they made a REALLY big deal about one apple.

Have fun, though!

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (33845) 5 years ago

We were through immigration in no time.

reply

[–] SolemnMime (174) 5 years ago

Sounds fun/exciting. You get to see a lot of different things traveling (and photography too, which is something I'd enjoy).

I'd like to travel at some point and experience living in various different places too.

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (33845) 5 years ago

Travelling is the best.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (71750) 5 years ago

Enjoy!

And beware the dreaded Drop Bears😳

[–] AndyKing1967 (33845) 5 years ago

I’m off to buy a boomerang.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (71750) 5 years ago

Buy a huge knife...those crocs are everywhere

Everything wants to kill you or eat you (or kill you and eat you).

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (71750) 5 years ago

So I hear but I'd wager you can handle your business Andy

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (33845) 5 years ago

We’re not going anywhere remote, fingers crossed.
