Sometimes I try to play up the Australian accent/stereotype to foreigners for a bit of a laugh, only to then get in to a conversation with other Australians and realise I was actually playing it down.

    I’m fine until some of the slang gets in there. I know some, but there’s definitely more I don’t and hearing it on Aussie YouTube channels sometimes has me running to google if the context alone doesn’t cut it.

    Unrelated, but what would be the best community to ask about tourist stuff? Wife and I would like to visit but I’d like to do some reading and maybe get some opinions if I see anything not already answered. Cheers!

      Look for specific city communities if you are going there and ask questions. Don’t be too broad though, ask about things you’ve heard about or food places you’d like to try.

      Go to western Australia, go to the beaches, be disappointed by every other beach you ever go to in your entire life.

        Hah, we were actually thinking Queensland for the dinosaur museums and fossils. I love the water, but wife isn’t such a big fan.
