underwatermanaldershot, Queensland Australia28 Threads 771 PostsWell Random, reading some of your replies, I think you are well on your way to enjoying your stay, the sense of humour will stand you in good stead mate.
I got a few heads up for you mate.
You'll need to watch out for the snakes in WA, they got plenty of them. Don't play cards unless you know what your doing...Don't bring any food stuff like veg and animal products into Australia, make sure you declare everything you need to on the customs declaration, which you'll be given in-flight to fill out.
You can't exchange Rupees outside of India, though you probably could sell well made Indian Sarees here, presents for you cousin.
You'll need to leave your gunja behind...

I'm really looking forward to trek around the places I live. Guess I'd have to be extra careful in doing so.
Ummm... what's a "gunja"? You wouldn't be talking about "ganja", would you? (That's weed)
Btw, all the talk about barbecues is really getting me excited. Never had any of them (not something done in India) and all those television shows have been making my mouth water since ages!
random88guy: I also read somewhere that the word "root" doesn't mean the same in AUS. We are accustomed here in using the word as a substitute for "support".
"Which team do you root for?", "No way I'm gonna root for that scumbag!" etc.
"Which team do you root for?", "No way I'm gonna root for that scumbag!" etc.
There are a few other ones you might need to know too... For instance in Canada a Beaver is a proud and noble animal, and your Fannie is what you sit on... In Australia those words mean something else...

so.
Rule one! no walking alone up north! Remember Australia is as big as India with three deserts 7 out of the 10 most venomous snakes the top 4 deadliest spiders,
And it cost $$$ heaps to send out rescue searches , take a tour bus!
Do you have life insurance?

everything you need to know about Australia and crocodiles
random88guy: Thanks for the warm welcome and the tips! If you guys are a representation of the general Australian crowd, I think I'll have a great time! :)

Good tips. Will keep them in mind.Won't do much good, I'm afraid. I can barely cook an omelette for myself!I was christian by birth (an atheist now), so I'm not really accustomed to any burkas either. I actually find it quite offensive to women. Pretty unfortunate for them to be forced to hide their faces and all... But that's a discussion for another day!Haha! I certainly hope it won't come to that! I also read somewhere that the word "root" doesn't mean the same in AUS. We are accustomed here in using the word as a substitute for "support".
"Which team do you root for?", "No way I'm gonna root for that scumbag!" etc.Guess I won't get the same response to these questions in Australia, eh?
