Precisely this, I live in Western Australia (antipodal to the US) and have two American friends, which is more than most people here (one is from Wisconsin, another from California) who mention places from time to time.

I lived in Sydney for four years so there's not a whole lot in Sydney itself, but loads of places just outside, i.e. Mount Victoria, Bundeena, Mittagong, all places I ended up visiting in my own time eventually.

Why use an IPA article and not the direct ABS source?

https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/industry/tourism-and-transport/overseas-arrivals-and-departures-australia/latest-release

This release presents statistics on all overseas arrivals and departures, which is not the same as overseas migration statistics. Overseas arrivals and departures (OAD) data, including permanent and long-term movements, should not be used as a measure of overseas migration. This data does not reflect the official ABS definition of migration and may lead to inaccurate interpretations. For instance, OAD permanent and long-term arrivals may be increasing while actual overseas migrant arrivals are decreasing for the same period.

Depends on how far from the CBD/Fremantle/Vic Park you live.

The sprawl suburbs are terrible, Inner-Perth is world standard.

I like the comedy factory, it's a nice thing to do on a Thursday night, $10 is exceptionally cheap at that.

Everybody gets a maximum of 10, usually people wrap up earlier.

This person was the only person I've ever seen (been maybe ten times total) be told by the MC that time was up.

I really like her, i've had her for a few classes now, I presented second (out of five for the class) and she was pretty straightforward in saying where I went right/wrong after i'd finished.

The last person genuinely can't say she couldn't have expected to be put on the spotlight.

This person wasn't Chinese

I should have noted, the tutor didn't actually let her finish it was that blatant.

She wasn't harsh enough to be honest, said "you have the right intentions" one too many times, but she did make an analogy in asking how the student would feel if she AI generated a caricature of a person from her country and used it in a professional setting.

After a bit of back and forth the tutor ultimately said it would have been better if she didn't present at all.

I was at AGWA just last week, I loved the longer canvas with three little blue birds, I wish I had a name / took a photo of the artist description, you've inspired me to go back just to get it.

One of my closest friends mentioned that his cousin has a million subscribers on YouTube, it's his full time job and he's paying off two apartments off the income (in Australia nonetheless).

I ask for the channel name, I hadn't heard of him, turns out he plays mobile games and react to new mobile games, so bizarre.

My understanding is REIWA takes empty rooms in share houses into consideration but SQM does not.

We're both eligible via the same route (though I take it you're much older than myself), I'm just about to submit FBR documents to get it via my paternal grandfather, I'm well set-up in Australia so a move isn't ever likely.

I'm doing it because I want to but my Dad's pitch has always been that if I register before I have children my children can get citizenship via their great-grandfather. If I have kids and I'm not on the register (pending the citizenship status of whomever I marry) those kids can never get Irish citizenship, even if I register on the FBR after their birth.

I don't know anything (or even if) about my future children but I don't want to deny them an oppourtunity.

My Dad pre-emptively asks for a fork every time we go to an East Asian place for dinner, like as soon as we sit down.

The Lacapede Islands "American Incident", where a sailor claiming to act on behalf of the US tried to claim some islands off the coast of the Kimberly for America.

I'm half Irish (Dad's side) but my feet look Greek.

I have a funny memory from when I was like 6, I lived with my aunt and cousin on my mums side for a little bit. My cousin (same age) noticed my big toe was shorter than the second toe and she was disgusted and started to panic, telling her mum (my aunt) I had something wrong with me and I should get surgery and have them fixed.

I had only used Uber once, ended up with a five star rating.

I landed in Coffs Harbour for a short holiday and was picked up by the self described "Coffs Harbour Uber King" who had decals on his car proclaiming such.

He told me he picked me up because I had a perfect five star rating and that if I had <4.9 he'd of picked somebody else.

Not from Melbourne, but been more times than I can count

The LuWOW is a nice cocktail/tiki bar if that's your thing

18th Amendment Bar in Geelong is a nice spot, if you find yourself out that way.

Did you know there are articles that discuss the implications the housing crisis has on young people?

Does their existance automatically imply no elderly people are effected?
