Open Question: Which state in Australia have you found to be the best to live in?

I have lived in Western Australia for almost 40 years after moving from my home state of South Australia. Lived in the Wheatbelt most of that time and have now moved to a southern beachside suburb. The ppl here are friendly, Rockingham Council does a wonderful job, beaches are gr8 and we have fast electric train service to city. Perth City Council puts on a Skyshow every Australia Day, big crowds gather along the Swan River to watch. Airfares are very cheap now to the east compared to what they were 30 years ago, while train fares are very expensive even in sit up section. Overall I love it in WA a very friendly place to live. more

Resolved Question: How many months should you wait before taking bub to beach/pool?

I am just wondering as my baby has always loved the water, a bath is her favourite time of the day. Obviously, I understand it is not the same thing as a bath is really warm and relaxing for her. She is seven weeks old tomorrow so I no it is still really early, but how many months should you wait. I now I should wait till six months to put sun block on her, but its really hot in Australia, so I usually go to the beach around 6pm when it is still warm but the sun is not out, so it wont hurt her skin. Also, the pool would be very drying on her skin so I am sure I should wait quite a while. How long did you wait before taking your baby to the pool/beach? Thanks!! more

Open Question: How Would These Lost People Survive Together?

I have been discussing the following story with my Mum and sisters this evening and we all came up with different ideas. What do you think? I really value others opinions. Donna On 31st January 2009 a group of year 11 students left with their teachers for a trip to Barbados to attend the World Youth Forum. The met at Tullamarine( Melbourne Australia) airport for the flight, and despite warnings of rough flying conditions, left on schedule. Eight hours from Melbourne, the plane was hit by freak conditions that destroyed its electrical system. All communication was lost, and with the tail fin torn from the chassis, they were flying off course. The pilot eventually ditched into the ocean. An inflatable life raft was activated, and the pilot, students, two teachers and a tour guide (Peter) scrambled aboard. They had no food or drink. The powerful currents of the Pacific Ocean pushed the raft another 100 kilometers off course until they landed on an uncharted island somewhere off the coast of Tahiti. As they dragged themselves up onto the beach, they were lost, dazed confused and very hungry. The Island was quite fertile with native fruits and berries, and bird life in abundance. The waters were teeming with fish and fresh water could be obtained from a waterhole. This group was destined to spend twelve weeks on the island before being rescued. Q1: How would they survive? Q2: Study the characteristics (Below) of the members of the group; Do you think they would live in harmony? The group consists of: MAX -28 yr old pilot/married/unbeknown to Max he is HIV positive. VICKI -22 yr old teacher/married/18 weeks pregnant/liked by most students. JOSHUA - 44 yr old geologist/unmarried/experienced hiker/homosexual. JULIA - 16 yr old student/ asthmatic/talented athlete/rebellious against teachers. WALEED - 17 yr old student/class captain/strong academically/devout Muslim AMELIA - 16 yr old student/former girlfriend of Waleed/from a wealthy family. GEORGIA - 16 yr old student/intelligent and articulate/clashes badly with Vicki. LUKE - 17 yr old student/ brilliant artist/ Luke has spina bifida. MOLLY - 16 yr old student/ champion swimmer and diver/ very responsible. STEPHANIE 16 yr old student/Buddhist/quiet and reflective/clashes with Joshua. DANIEL - 15 yr old student/Jewish/ likable although lazy/ the "class clown". MEGAN - 16 yr old student/ catwalk model/ disliked by everyone except Daniel. JO - 16 year old student/ intelligent/uses cannabis. YOUR POSSESSIONS: The emergency supplies of the life raft contained the following: Waterproof matches A knife set A first aid box 5 blankets Tinned food for seven days. more

Open Question: How Would These Lost People Survive?

Resolved Question: What are my chances of becoming a lifeguard at Bondi Beach?

Hi there! I'm interested in becoming a lifeguard or marine biologist....i would like to go to Australia for college (thinking about James cook University) And depending on how things go i might want to become a lifeguard instead of a marine biologist (maybe at bondi beach, maybe another beach) Im a very good swimmer; i've been swimming since i was two years old and i am on two swim teams (one for my school, one for a club team) Im a surfer, and i just got my scuba diving license. So i guess you could say im like a fish haha. Anyways, I had never really thought about becoming a lifeguard until the past couple weeks, since i started watching a show called Bondi Rescue on youtube (i dont live in australia; i live in California, but i really like australia it just seems like the perfect place for me; great beaches, great marine life/various animals, and here in california everyone is obsessed with looks and celebrities and what not...and it seems like people in australia dont really think like that; you can tell me if im wrong haha). I read that you have to have various types of certifications in order to become a lifeguard at bondi beach, or other beaches, which i could accomplish..but im only 15, and if i do get all the certifications and move to australia when im like 18 or 19, do you think i would have a good chance of becoming a lifeguard (at Bondi or any other beach)? Also, im a girl, which, i know only one girl is a lifeguard at bondi, so does that affect my chances as well? One more thing; if you have time, and youre in the mood to answer a lot of questions, i have a couple other questions about Australia; but you dont have to answer these if you dont want to... 1. do you generally refer to the fall season as 'fall' or 'autumn'? 2. About how long would it take someone to go from Townsville, Australia to Sydney, Australia...(hours, minutes, etc)? Please provide as much info as possible about the question/ any other info about australia. Thank you for reading this, and thanks so much to everyone who answers! :) more

Resolved Question: Spiritually stalking, damn!! (that was a quick block!) Anyhoo, what do you think Desiree did for Australia day?

The "Australian" way! So what did Desiree get up to? (She likes the cricket you know!) more

Voting Question: Study Abroad Question: Gold Coast, Austrailia vs. Madrid, Spain?

I am thinking about studying abroad in either Spain or Australia. Has anyone has experience studying in either one of these places? I will be studying at either Bond University in Australia or SLU Madrid in Spain. What will the weather be like in both of these places during the fall semester? At the moment I am leaning towards Australia as I have been to Madrid before and I am looking for something a little different, and a little safer. also I love the beach and water and know how to surf and scuba. But on the other hand I love to have a good time and when I was in Madrid I definitely had nothing less than that at the local bars and clubs. Any information anyone has will be extremely helpful and may make the difference between me choosing one or the other. Please be detailed!

'scuse the french :) So here's my dilemma; this amazing girl whos been my on and off f**k bud for 2 years, has confessed she likes me, after I did the same. This was brought on by a period of not seeing her for a while, then going camping with her, so there is changes in what we want now. She said she really wanted to see me, and it's Australia day on tuesday so I told her i'd give my usual beach 'n' beers with mates up to hang out with her.

Voting Question: What is the best way to travel USA and Toronto in 4 Weeks?

My partner and I are getting married in September and want to have our Honeymoon in December for 4 weeks. I really want to travel the west LA, San Diego, San Fransisco, Vegas, a nice island or beach in the west if we have time and maybe Seattle if we can get a reasonable flight. My partner wants to travel the East, Boston, New York, Jersey, Philidelphia. His dream is to have christmas in new york so we are going to work around that. We are also considered having a couple of days in Hawaii but don't know what the weather is that time of the year. How far is it to travel from New York or Boston over the border to Toronto? I was thinking we could fly into LA (cheapest place to fly into from Aus) Spend a week and a half in the west, fly to new york a week before christmas and explore the east (and canada if time permits) Spend Christmas New York and then fly back LA, perhaps then to Hawaii or other island in the west for a couple of days, back to LA and travel to Vegas for New Year and then fly back to Australia from LA. I know it is alot to fit in 4 weeks but we really want to make the most of this trip as we have been wanting to travel to the US for so long. Unfortunately we can't get more than 4 weeks off work so we have to work with what we've got. Any suggestions for an itinerary? Should we be doing things like Contiki tours or doing it on our own? What is the best way to travel the West and East? Bus, Rail? We don't really want to drive. more

Resolved Question: Where would you choose to spend a couple months in Australia, (1) Townsville, (2) Cairns, or (3) Byron Bay?

I would like to come to Australia for a couple of months, probably beginning in April, and base myself somewhere where I could ride my road bike (preferably hard, in a group), do some writing, and perhaps find some people to play country music with. Good beaches, low (relatively) cost of housing, access to airport, and interesting environment are important. Ability to pick up some off-the-books side work a plus, but not required. Have been to Oz before including all the above locations and am leaning toward Townsville area, but would consider other places such, as Cairns or northern New South Wales coast. Florida resident. Any thoughts appreciated. more

Resolved Question: do you prefer summer or winter? why? where do you live (might affect answer)?

I much prefer summer, because I feel happy when the air is warm. I love it when you can spend all day in the pool or at the beach. And I love days like today when you eat lunch outside off a plastic plate and the plate almost melts. No matter what other people say, I love days like today when the air temperature is 42C (108F). I live in Perth, western Australia; that might explain it.@blahhh!: it's only january, so yeah, today is the hottest day of the year so far for Perth. but february has even higher average temps than january, so that might change. more

Resolved Question: I got into a youtube argument in a video's comment section? is this person being stupid?

Sorry. But this is going to be VERY long,lol. I was watching a video of indians protesting in Australia, and commented. My question is, is the person who is arguing with me genuinly making good points or is he/she being an idiot? (because i cant comphrehend why this person keeps making my comments look negative when im sure they aren't) ME: they should be careful of a riot.....just like the Cronulla beach riots....and the riots of australia day last year. the same minority of the ignorant youths of anglo saxons might rally up and find other stupid close-minded whites and start a fight im not saying all white aussie are racist, just alking about the ones who are HER(i think it's a she): You do yourselves no favors making up stories against Australians. Ask yourself how you would feel. ME: why dont you search it up. Search up '2009 Australia day riots'.you obviously havent, because you told me it wasnt true and that I was the one who was making it up- when clearly an internet search says differently. and ask myself how I would feel? about what. I am an Australian, and I have heard this news story in the aussie news.i am not making any stories about against aussies, and am only angry with the racist ones. ''im not saying all white aussie are racist, just alking about the ones who are '' ''i am not making any stories about against aussies, and am only angry with the racist ones'' also I am not referencing a lie. jesus. did you search it up ''australia day riots 2009''? i was only refering to the racist people who went through the streets being violent, just like cronulla. and that these ppl should be careful or else another riot may happen HER: Pixilated, you spend all your time denigrating white Australians, why? You are referencing a lie to support a hope that white people are racist, just to excuse your own racism, which is not what Australians do. You promote disrespect to all Australians. I am not white and you are disrespecting me, a student. Every new wave of migrants disrupt the system. They grate on social norms and you choose to blame them for an unavoidable situation, calling all whites racist. ME: How am I? I said THE ONES WHO ARE RACIST, I didn't say ALL white australians. Of the white australians, there are some youths out there who are racist, and these are the ones who I hate. These are the ones i'm talking against. my god, and I repeated that twice in my messages HER: Neither, the fantasied white Australia Day riots or Cronula were racist, but you are. If you want to go about town,hating on all white people because of propaganda, well you should realize that me and other people of mixed decent are going to see Indians as racist. Nobody else is complaining, but we all hear is that you think Australia is a vessel of India, how? It isn't, and you are lucky not to feel the wrath on non-white Australians, who to most people here, think white people are kind. ME: 1. did you search up online news articles with the keywords ''australia day 2009''? if you searched it up you would realise it was not fake. you keep telling me it IS, but if i am trying to GIVE YOU PROOF, 3 TIMES ALREADY 2. and yes both were racist. if you searched up both of these issues on the internet, you should have known. for example, wikipedia(dot)com says, ''The 2005 Cronulla riots were a series of racially motivated riots and mob violence'' post cont. next comment 3. All I said is that these protestors should be careful. another group, and I WAS SIMPLY ONLY REFERENCING AN EXAMPLE OF ONE, was a group of anglo-saxons(or white aussies). AND I QUOTED TO YOU 2 TIMES OF ME SAYING THAT I WAS NOT SAYING ALL WHITES WERE RACIST, AND THAT I WAS ONLY POINTING OUT THE ONES OF THE GROUP THAT WERE. I am saying that every race has its racists. 3. nowhere did I say that that these indians were racist, nor did I say they weren't.post continued next comment & you tell me i think australia is a vessel of india? what does this mean? and I do not think I was trying to say this.all I was trying to say was that another group who could be angered by this, may start a riot or fight against them. I mean, look at the magnitude of these protestors? obviously it could flare up into something violent. and where did I say I was hating on all white people? I DID NOT. I only hate the whites who happen to be racist, not ALL OF THEM. HER: The protesters are finished. The Australian government stopped allowing Indian office's to handle visa application, that were falsified. The colleges were a front for permanent residency, and they have been closed. The student numbers are halved. The half protesting are gone. They had no real issue because statistics show the assaults were low compared to other countries. They made a threat an nd carried it out, race is irrelevant. Do you actually subscribe to India's sensationalist media? ME: the millionth time, i diME: i did not know that they stopped protesting. however, to repeat myself once more, i am not trying to be biased here. all i wanted to say was that with a PROTEST or call of that of that magnitude, that potential riots may happen. violence may happen,with another group who could be mad also, yes statistics say they were lower, but i was mainly referring to another bunch of people. when you get attacked, ppl may counter, yes? also i said ''another group'', one that i have no idea who would be formed by. however i did refer to some of the white youths who happened to be racist, as an example. since race is a big issue in this vid and in this group of indians, another group can make something out of it. depending on the people and the attitudes, there could have been flare ups. HER: So, spell it out! ME: well I had to, because, judging from your replies you didnt get what I said despite numerous times I tried to explain. So I thought I might say it in more detail in case you didnt get it again. you thought that I thought all whites were racist, and I told you and explained why i didnt, and yet you still said it twice after. and same thing about the australia day riots of 2009. You kept telling me it was fake when I told you to search it up for proof. u even thought I was being biased, & i wasnt more

Resolved Question: What can he do to prevent himself getting a erection at a nude beach and is it inappropriate?

I'm going away on a vacation with my husband to Australia and we're interested in visiting some nude/topless beaches. He's worried that he'll get an erection but I understand that men are visual creatures and that it's a normal response. He can look as long as he doesn't touch. lol. Anyways he's really worried that it'll happen and doesn't want to walk around with his little friend saluting to everyone. Also I've heard that some beaches don't like having men with erection so they need to lie face down in the sand or cover up with a towel. Not sure about Australia though. Knowing a bit on what people might suggest he would prefer not to think of anything disgusting or be running off to the bathroom to masturbate regularly. So any other suggestions that aren't stupid or require drug usage will be considered. more

Resolved Question: What can he do to prevent himself getting a erection at a nude beach?

Resolved Question: Is the public drinking ban on Australia day unAustralian?

I think this is unfair, on Aus day people get together and go to the beach, river or city centre and most of the time we have a drink while celebrating the day and now we are confined into our homes for a bbq.... That doesent bother me alot as I usually have a bbq then go to the beach and I think its unfair we will get fined/warned/arrested for having a drink down the beach. How do other people feel about this? Thanks :) more
