The Price of a Night Out With the Boys

In many ways, it’s a great relief that the barbecue, or any kind of gathering in a friends back garden, has replaced going to the pub as the standard form of entertainment here in Australia. Because when you go round a friend’s house, you take a couple of bottles of wine, which will cost anything [...]

AKA: When is a discount not a discount? AAKA: Trouble at the bowser. Here’s another Australian word we’ve got that you haven’t. Well, you do have the word, but not in the way that we mean it here in Australia. The word can mean a generic name for a tanker. For most kids, and for [...]

In Mondays post, about three years in Australia, I wondered whether my views would change now that I have got through the honeymoon period. As I write this, I’m fast approaching my fourth anniversary of life in Australia; will I start to see Oz in a different light? Well, there is no doubt I am [...]

I have quite a few posts about house prices and I’ve also written one about the size of Australian houses and plots of land. Surely it wasn’t that long ago that I was bragging my house is bigger than your house? Turns out it was quite a while ago, I wrote that post in December [...]
