Like Deecee - (Victoria Aust.) Between us I reckon we could come up with a page or more full of differences between USA and Aust. and another half page for here between our Eastern and Western States. I am in Adelaide, Sth Aus., we sit on the lounge or lounge chairs, drink soft drink, live on a dirt road, drive a ute, (pick up, truck) or 4x4 (SUV) and our 'trucks' are anything from a small carrier truck, tip truck or semi-trailer.
Hey Deecee where did the phrase 'send her down hughie' - referring to rain come from?
Mind you I was born in Melbourne and my mum was a Vic and we spent so much time between SA & Vic, so I'm a bit mixed up. Jen
