• Say goodbye to Sydney

    February 28 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    We were up early once again to catch our Qantas flight to Auckland. It is an international flight so we were at the airport 4 hours prior with breakfast boxes in hand. There are 7 of us carrying on to New Zealand.
    There is also a 2 hour time change; so this is a travel day!

    Australia is a huge county and we definitely felt the vastness of it. We were glad to have been able to fly to/from many of the destinations. The people are kind and helpful and we seem to have a lot in common with the Aussies.

    I loved this phrase
    “Let’s make a Maccas avro run!”

    Here are a few words and phrases we heard often on our travels

    Sticky beak
    Heaps
    Out flat like a lizard drinking
    Bits and bobs
    Bush Tucker (pronounced taca)
    Long drop toilet
    Take the micky
    Dobbed in
