re: Headed to Australia

There are also a bunch of wineries east of Perth, and a zoo where you can walk right up to, and pet, 'roos, wallabies, koalas.

Go to Little Creatures brewery. Great place. Good food. Get the kangaroo on stick.

The zoo is nice. Great city. Fremantle area is lots of fun. There is a beer bar there, forget the name. It was really cool kinda like something outta New Orleans. Had good beers and you could get flights. Dont go expecting awesome food in perth. And everything is expensive!!

From where I lived in Scarborough in March 2015, I could see the water. I walked to the beach all the time, but maybe it has changed since then.

I was there in April 3 years ago and went snorkeling there. It wasn't that bad

When you get to Australia and the passport control officer asks you if you've ever been convicted of a felony just tell him, "No, but I thought that was no longer a requirement to get into Australia."

I did that and he just laughed and stamped my passport after telling his colleague next to him what I said.

New Zealand >>> Australia

Australia is an overpriced, overrated, dump. Only good thing here is diving and people speak English

Nope I'm here right now (Brisbane) and will be for another 3 months. I love diving here and it's nice that everyone speaks english(for the most part) but its so damn expensive. It's not a horrible place, I would love to vacation here as that would be a blast, but living here for nearly 2 months now and I'm over the novelty and I would not recommend living here full time, unless you're making a ton of money, it's so disconnected from the rest of the world that it's a very isolating place from the rest of the world.

Now since this is the travel board, my apologies for giving people a bad impression (was wayyy to drunk and venting about striking out with this Aussie girl when i posted that). This is a great place for an extended vacation- lots of stuff to do and see, their weather is great beach weather, fantastic diving/beaches, really good food with tons of options. The good side of being soooo far away from the rest of the western world is the time difference is great for disconnecting from home.

KFC was disappointing compared to its European counterparts. Haven't been to hungry jacks yet because I'm a Macca's man, when I have to get fast food.
