Other places in QLD that you have to wear shoes are RSLs, nightclubs, and a fair few bars

[@karenglenn6707]

Grew up in the bush in Victoria in the 60’s and we never wore shoes. The soles of our feet were like leather. Did wear them to school as we had to, and also in the bush bush in case of snakes. Oh and never walk barefoot on concrete on a stinking hot Aussie day, you will get burn blisters on your feet, very painful 😂 Our roads weren’t made so we just ran across the stones like nothing. My son still only wears shoes out as he’s a bit of a germaphobe but as a kid, no shoes, even in winter, only for school.

[@InfiniteSoul91]

Barefeet are a thing here in New Zealand too. 💚🌏💚

[@TheOne-er7nk]

[@michellewilkes6329]

I thought Cheerios was a breakfast cereal. I'm from SA so everything here has a slightly Germanic name. Definitely frankfurts here. Never heard the term little boys, but cocktail sausage is the official name on the packets of stuff made interstate. A porta-loo is what tradies use on job sites, and provide extra toilet facilities at concerts as they are literally portable toilets. A dunny is a permanent structure outside someone's house. Putting a wet towel over the fan works much better than a bucket of ice - cheap evaporative cooling - it's how the Coolgardie Safe was invented. We get wasted here too. Never heard the term maggotted before in my life. Clearly this woman didn't do her research as I see people shopping in pyjamas in Woolworths all the time, and not just children.

[@triarb5790]

Little boys is definitely a Victorian thing. Munted is the term here for totally wasted.

Ice Water in front of fan or even a wet towel works, not just ice.

People do go to the supermarket in pj and slippers/ugg boots in Tasmania. Maybe because it's cooler and we wear pj for more of the year. Fun fact we also call the air conditioner a heat pump because we use it for warmth, not cooling.

Jimmy is my all time favourite singer. That voice he has, is sublime. More than 50 years of singing, both with Chisel and his own solo career. In Australia bands were only successful if they can play live, and that is when you see the chemistry of the band. Start with 2003 Ringside concert with Bow River and When the War is Over. NB they have two singers, Jimmy and Ian Moss.

I teach in a primary school in Melbourne. We had a series of exchanges with a school in Auckland and adopted their no shoe approach ( which we discovered is really common over there) Our kids bring thongs or slippers if they want ( especially for our cold winters!) but they all kick their shoes off as soon as they get in class and so do we! They do wear them outdoors though ( in the NZ school they don't)

Chris has a good point with the Capsicum and pepper, pepper/peppers, that one was weird, Capsicum is nothing like a pepper, maybe a gigantic fat one but still why would you call two different things the same name, sigh It is really true about UK doesn't really have aircon? is this because of the weather difference, as Australia can be hot as hell, whereas if it hits 20 in UK, its classed as hot hahaha, 20 is like every day weather here and depends on the time of year is still cold, it's not hot until it hits 30-40+
