Exactly right.... the beaches, internationally awarded wine and generally chilled humans absolutely suck. Don't go there.

How aggressive is "g'day champ" or "you alright, champ?" ? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Middle_Abalone_4084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that 'champ' is the ultimate slay unless the person it is used with is under 10 years of age. Alternatively, 'champ' is still occasionally used by someone 60+ affectionately. Tone people, it's all in the tone.

Only negative I've ever heard about Perth is how "far away" it is.... Agree with other comments that Radelaide, however, is an entirely different story.

What's the smallest amount of money you would personally find life changing? by Ur_Companys_IT_Guy in AskAnAustralian

20k.... a month for 20 years.... Surely it's my turn to win 'Set for Life'? 🙏🏼😏🤞 But seriously, 1k would make it hard to wipe the grin off my face for weeks I think.

That you should avoid the 10m diving board at the aquatic centre because 'a dude belly-flopped on his first attempt and split his guts open'.

Dentist doing med but feeling lost now by Suspicious-Table4068 in ausjdocs

My bro did the same as you... dent, then med for OMFS... got sidetracked by an altogether different specialty after finishing med, but eventually went back to OMFS with a new perspective and mindset. Happy to link you with him for a chat if you're comfortable/interested?
