My Island Home

Or at least, I'm going to try make it work. We'll see.

Things I always knew but never really noticed or had forgotten
1) AFL mania. Football players are not and should not be classified as gods.
2) Today Tonight - journalism at its worst. "Tragic" immigration stories on elderly Queensland farmers marrying foreign third world country brides, schools in trouble for disciplining children for using the toilet during class time, the noisy neighbour "from hell"...... Oh why, oh why, oh why....
3) The fruit and veggies are fresher, and can sometimes last more than two weeks in the fridge.
4) The Australian accent is very nasal, and people do speak as though they're asking questions all the time.
5) Reading Women's Day at the GP: Who are these people and why should we care?
6) Vodafone is a network with shit coverage, and mobile phone rates are ridiculously expensive.
