Like Leonis said though, watch out for the hook turn if you're in the city. If you don't know what that is, it's a right hand turn made from the left hand side of the road after the lights have gone red. So you pretty much wait in the middle left side of the road (whether any cars are coming or not) til the lights go red to turn. *L* Go figure hehe.
You'll enjoy yourself here though. I guarantee it! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Uh? I'll just be a geek and stick to traffic lights when crossing the road [img]smile.gif[/img]
Anything interesting I should know about local culture? Something I really shouldnt do in public that I'm not aware of yet? Like snapping my fingers as I walk or spitting at curbs or something equally important and yet equally silly? [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Also I'm told Melbourne has the highest population of Greeks outside of Athens.. how true is this? (not that I've got something against Greeks of course, but its just a interesting bit of trivia..)
