Travelling the Murray river is seeing the real Australia.

[@Chris_travellust]

I did not go there unfortunately But looking forward for one day to go back and see the west coast ☺️

Belong mobile is owned by Telstra but is much cheaper!

[@Chris_travellust]

We found boost i worked well (and was also cheaper) 🙂

[@AussieTVMusic]

West is Best. And you can swim up north in Broome. No killer jellyfish there.

[@Chris_travellust]

Great news, the ocean just beat public lagoons pools every-time 🤩

[@Jenny_Ss]

Haha enjoy australia 😊 your right about the east coast I live on the west coast and its pure bliss

[@Chris_travellust]

Thank you! I’ve heard amazing things about the west coast too. Enjoy the blissful vibes over there! 😊🌅

Similar to the British, Aussies have evolved a sense of humour which invokes a lot of "taking the piss" (making fun of). We do it to ourselves as much as we do it to others, but it is meant to be light-hearted. You will truly know if we are serious!

[@Chris_travellust]

The Aussie way - never taking anything too seriously! Yes i found out! 🙂

[@JOJO-2020]

I think most cultures are quite sensitive, compared to us Aussies. We are quite honest and have a unique way on how we deliver this.

Bill Bailey says Western Australia cracks open your soul. Woolworths Mobile is very cheap and uses the Telstra network.... just no 5G.

[@Chris_travellust]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it means a lot! 🙏

The weather on the southern coast of Australia is heavily involved with the Antarctic effect. The changes from hot to cold are often dramatic. The southerlies are strong, there's is only open ocean between the two continents, much of this water is cold. Melbourne gets the publicity, but it is the full width of Australia. Locals understand the climate and will carry warm clothing on hot days. But it is not only the coast as these southerlies can reach 200 km (or further) inland.

[@Chris_travellust]

It's crazy how the Antarctic effect influences the weather in southern Australia! 😄

[@Josh92SA]

Weather is more unpredictable in Adelaide. Melbourne is generally more cold & rainy than Adelaide, where Adelaide is legit all over the place. 1 day it's raining and freezing, next day it's warm and sunny.

[@Chris_travellust]

It’s crazy how the weather just changes like that 😂

[@michaelfreeze2949]

Really, Adelaide is a lot drier than Melbourne and you can expect most days to not rain especially this year we seem to be in a drought.

[@oneshot4826]

Actually, Perth and Western Australia has the best weather and it's not unpredictable.

[@Chris_travellust]

This time we only did the East-cost But looking forward to do the west-coast one day as well 😜 But we have to save up to could afford a Camper-van for this trip 💯

[@roberttoodie275]

It's predictably windy all the time

[@zwieseler]

@@roberttoodie275 Not really....

[@Joe-jd4pn]

Well the west coast is boring as shit.

[@Chris_travellust]

I don't know i haven't been there yet, but it is on my wish list :-)

[@DarinAllan0]

Joking or rude? Probably a bit of both lol.

[@Chris_travellust]

Haha you never know 😂
