Streets in the US are also wider than in Britain. Now I think of it, both countries did begin with native populations which were overtaken by British colonists. <br /><br />Bliss - The people on the streets of Melbourne come in all colours and accents, it's one of the things I most enjoyed about the place. The Immigration museum we visited showed Australia to be quite ambivalent about anyone other than white Brits for most of its history. The parts of the country I've seen are beautiful.<br /><br />LBW - I'm glad you could see what we were trying to photograph...I wasn't sure myself!<br /><br />Terri - I suppose what I was trying to convey is that it has similarities to each, but it remains different as well... Not sure I got that across.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-12263736066825510312012-05-01T04:43:43.922+01:002012-05-01T04:43:43.922+01:00I found your thoughts about your sense of Australi...I found your thoughts about your sense of Australia interesting--part American, part British, part European.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-20122597666114798272012-04-30T21:59:53.158+01:002012-04-30T21:59:53.158+01:00Police "customers."

Although I have never been, I have always thought of Australia as another melting pot of different peoples...and they do share similarities in their beginnings with America's beginnings too. Did that make sense? I would love to visit some day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-81787170286906746892012-04-30T11:12:54.657+01:002012-04-30T11:12:54.657+01:00Haha, of course Australia is nearly always that su...Haha, of course Australia is nearly always that sunny! And of course we do not consider ourselves to have anything in common with Americans, but have our own identity; Australian :) Although yes, we are part of the Commonwealth, and retain some Englishness, I agree. Btw, we call it rugby. Aussie Rules Football is a completely different sport, that is definitely unique to our country.<br />I'm glad you enjoyed your stay!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-50226216243985938792012-04-30T10:15:17.528+01:002012-04-30T10:15:17.528+01:00I really like all of your descriptions, I've n...I really like all of your descriptions, I've never been but think I would like it because it's a sort of British in genes/ American in lifestyle hybrid. Reading all of the Aussie blogs has made me think, yes I could definitely live there.<br /><br />I'm still laughing at your push up bra comment, without one I would have no waistline at all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
