Down Under Diary
*
Today is my last
day in Australia, and I'll be filling up my last Aussie hours with sightseeing around Canberra.
Here's what I've learned this week:
A cute person is a "possum".
When someone complains they are "whinging".
Australian slang includes many words that are shortened with "ie" on the end - such as Brekkie for Breakfast, Footy for Football (soccer), Postie for Postman, Prezzy for Present, etc.
Australian men like to drive pickup trucks called "Utes".
A herd of
kangaroos is called a Mob of Roos.
Kangaroos are a lot like our deer in Boulder - they come out at dawn and dusk -
and seem to get hit by cars fairly often.
Birds that we keep as pets in the US, fly free in Australia.
Black swans look like miniature versions of the Loch Ness Monster when they
are out swimming around in a lake.
You can tell if there are
koalas present by the smell of eucalyptus-urine under the particular type of gum trees they inhabit.
If the trees are stripped of leaves and it smells like mentho-pee, thar be
koalas.
Australian quilters seem to think it is bad manners if they are too
confidant or ambitious about their work.
(Hey! You lot need to give it a fair go!) Is this due to Tall Poppy Syndrome?
Australian quilters are also saving tons of talent and creativity to be exhibited only in Australia.
(I'd like to see more of their work showcased at international shows like Houston!)
US citizens need a visa to fly to Australia, and Australians need a visa to fly to the US or UK.
(despite the fact that the queen is on their coins)
Some of the worst US TV shows come to Australia, and end up mis-representing US pop culture.
Australian quilters are some of the warmest and most down to earth people I've ever met!
Pam and I filmed interviews with 4 quilters about 4 exhibits, so watch for these videos in the coming weeks.
I'll be posting photos of my trip after I get home Monday night, with images ranging from Australian quilts, to Australian wildlife!
sharing your Passion for Fabric...
