    Christmas traditions in Australia, like Christmas in New Zealand, have many similarities to British, Irish, American and Canadian traditions, including traditional Christmas symbols featuring winter iconography. This means a red fur-coated Father Christmas or Santa Claus riding a sleigh, songs such as "Jingle Bells", and various Christmas scenes on Christmas cards and decorations. However, the timing of Christmas occurring during the Southern Hemisphere's summer season has resulted in the development of some local traditions as a result of the warmer weather.

    Macca is also an affectionate name for Paul McCartney, birth name James Paul McCartney. Just in case you don't know, Bassist with a quite well known SUPER group. The Beatles. This I did not know: Macca is a common nickname in some English speaking countries of Anglo-Saxon heritage (less commonly in Canada and the United States, where "Mac" is used) for somebody whose surname begins with the Gaelic prefix Mac or Mc (meaning "son"). "Macca" also widely known as variant spelling of Islamic holy city in Saudi Arabia in many languages (Makkah, Mekkah, Makkah al-Mukaramah, etc.), which officially known as Mecca in English.

    About 90% of Aussies are in cities and are very urbane, with the only issue being that if you walk into your garage you have to be a little bit careful of spiders like red backs (can kill children but will only put an adult in hospital for a few days) and funnel-webs (can kill adults in less time than it takes to get to the hospital) but snakes around the city are very rare. It sounds scary but it's not hard to get used to you just need to be a little vigilant. I think the northern areas are better than the southern ones. Magpies swooping scare kids a bit but the swooping season only lasts a few months. They are mostly a nuiscance and not dangerous. They make a snapping sound with their beak before they are on top of you so you get a decent warning and they will turn away if you look at them. I wish you luck exploring Australia, it can be very beautiful with more advantages than draw backs.

It’s kinda cool to see all the creatures close to home. The fresh food is amazing and mostly available year round. Life is slower and much more relaxed in general. It’s like nowhere else in the world. Hope you visit when travel opens back up.

    Roundabouts are very common - but mainly because (as the French know well) they’re far more convenient than having stop or give way signs. I think it’s only the US that hasn’t quite figured out that roundabouts save time. But we’re also a country that took our time finally moving to the wonderful French metric system. We took too long going metric finally taking the plunge in the 60’s. Apparently it didn’t take long, wasn’t that painful and has paid dividends in efficiencies.

She ran away to protect the baby and herself. The Magpie kept swooping. The mum tripped and fell, the baby died. Its so awful. Wasn't even spring yet. When i was at school we had to be careful at play time because of them and Plover's - that is also a bird that swoops. Same now days with my kids at school but they deal with more plovers on the oval the magpies.

    Magpies are the second most aggresive bird, we have one called Plovers. They will mess people up. We have alot of echo parks in cities that show off large various gardens that look beautiful. Our hot weather melts roads, you can cook eggs on many surfaces. Box jelly fish are one of the most poisonous jelly fish in the world. Our bush fires burn forests the size of countries. Where I live in victoria Australia we can experience all 4 seasons in one day. The beaches in Australia have the worlds cleanest sand and whitest. People export sand from australia to around the world. Most of Australia is unkept wilderness so many beautiful natural formations, rainforests and ocean scenery. Etcetc

    Magpies. I was born in Australia. I’ve never seen one snake. That big spider looks creepy, I’ve had quite a few, they don’t bite, they are more scared of you. I have Magpie birds in my garden, I’ve never been swooped on. They know and trust me even during spring. But they can swoop, just put a book or handbag over your head during spring if they live in that area. My butter has never melted as I keep it in my fridge. Yes only 25 million people here and we are about the size of the USA. Every country has animals that came harm you. You use your common sense in any country and you’ll have a wonderful time. 😊

    Yes, MACCAS. We shorten, abbreviate and run words together. So 'breckie' is breakfast, and so on. So a common phrase use to be avagoodweekend, which translates to "have a good weekend". If you want to tell if someone is a real Aussie, or just pretending with a copy of the accent, watch the lips. We don't open our lips very wide (stops the flies getting in).

    Forbes in an outback town in NSW. Cooktown is in the far north where coloniser James Cook landed in the late 1700's. Another location in central Queensland is the town 1770 named after year he landed there. Australia is as big as Europe or the US but 85% in uninhabited. Too dry and or hot. Most of the population live cities. Sydney,Melbourne, Brisbane,Perth and Adelaide. Huntsman spiders live in many homes. Completely harmless. These frogs live in the tropics. These are python snakes. Not poisonous. Constrict to kill. These cases are in the tropical north. Too cold in south in winter. Brown snakes are poisonous but in bushland or scrub not so much in the cities. Adelaide,Melbourne and Perth can get heatwaves in summer where temperatures will be over 40C for days. Only 14 to 20 days a summer. 15 to 20% of summer. Rest is warm to hot dry weather. East coast is humid. Warm temperate to tropical. Magpies are intelligent birds and only swoop in nesting season. Attack cyclists and runners. Walkers too..Not everywhere and not all of the time. It is not a reason to not to visit. Many people feed them at home. Put butter in fridge! Goes off like this. Fremantle is a port town/suburb of W.A capital Perth. Australians are one of the greatest users of modern technology. 5G wireless Perth is pronounced Per-th (1 syllable). Seasons are reversed. Summer is December to February. Winter is June to August. Now is early spring. Box jelly fish on in tropical sea in the far north. Need stinger suits or just don't swim then for 8 months. Bottles of vinegar are left on some beaches to remove tentacles. Experience in Paris. Used whistles like in Rugby games to close Botanical Garden. Very unique.

    South Australia has many French geographical names. The coast was charted, partly, by Antoine de Bruni at the same time as Englishman Matthew Flinders. Our largest island, Kangaroo Island, has English names on the Northcoast and French names on the South, after the navigators met at, appropriately, Encounter Bay.

    The Portuguese man o' war (Physalia physalis), also known as the man-of-war,[6] bluebottle, or blue bottle jellyfish,[7] is a marine hydrozoan found in the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. It is considered to be the same species as the Pacific man o' war, which is found mainly in the Pacific Ocean. The Portuguese man o' war is the only species in the genus Physalia, which in turn is the only genus in the family Physaliidae.[8] It has numerous venomous microscopic nematocysts which deliver a painful sting powerful enough to kill fish, and has been known to occasionally kill humans. Although it superficially resembles a jellyfish, the Portuguese man o' war is in fact a siphonophore. Like all siphonophores, it is a colonial organism, made up of many smaller units called zooids.[9] All zooids in a colony are genetically identical, but fulfill specialized functions such as feeding and reproduction, and together allow the colony to operate as a single individual.

    Yep, grew on the Fla east coast and anytime the wind blew from the east for more than a couple of days we had an infestation of Portuguese man o' wars. In the 1950s my helicopter mom was more of a "your helicopter just crashed, now get out of the house and play somewhere else" type mom, so we learned about them the hard way. Their float is like a transparent, pink/blue multicolored bubble - beautiful, but tendrils are 30'-40' long and nearly invisible in the water, until you swim into them then they sting as bad as wasp stings, except it's multiple stinging strings across your arm, leg, body etc. I remember one time as a pre-teen I had to be treated by the Dr. I think I got some sort of soothing lotion and an antihistamine shot. Always watched what washed up on the beach after that. I think in the 1970s we started having some lifeguards around and they would post signs if man o' wars started drifting ashore.
