@cassyinsydney: * Everything is way more expensive than you think, especially rent, groceries, and eating out. * The sun in Australia is no joke. You can burn in under 20 minutes, even when it doesn’t feel that hot. * Public transport is good in the big cities, but it isn’t always as reliable as people expect. * Australians swear a lot, and it’s usually just part of normal conversation, not an insult. * Coffee culture is taken seriously, and you’ll probably become a coffee snob without even trying. * The wildlife isn’t as scary as the internet makes it seem, but you’ll definitely see spiders from time to time. * Distances are massive. A “short drive” can easily mean 45 minutes or more. * The beaches are incredible, but always swim between the red and yellow flags because of strong currents. * Making friends can take time, but once Australians warm up to you, they’re usually very loyal and easygoing. * You’ll probably never want to leave once you get used to the weather, beaches, and laid back lifestyle.
