Just wanted to share this pictures. I took it a while ago after my sister and I picked out this hat for my dad. I had to get a picture of C in it before my sister packed it to take home to him.
BTW "Good on'ya mate"- means "good job" (doesn't really apply to the picture- but I just liked how it sounded.)
Other fun sayings we have learned-
"How're you going?"- "how are you doing?"
"No worries"- "no problem" (we hear this ALL the time, and have actually started saying it)
"Don't crack a wobbly"- "Don't throw a fit"
We have had to learn to say the Australian word for a few things, just so we don't get looked at like we have three heads...
Instead of bathroom or restroom- we ask for the "toilet"
Instead of the elevator- we ask for the "lift"
Breakfast they call "brekky"
Flashlights are "torches"
Cribs are "baby cots"
Stores are "shops"
And we have yet to try vegemite, although a container of it has been sitting in our cabinet for weeks. We are just not that brave.
Thanks for checking on us.
