Omg no this is wonderful! Thank you for the book recs! When I look up Picnic at Hanging Rock all I can find is the movie so I guess I will watch that when I can get my hands on it!

true blue, fair dinkum, dinky di, cobber and ridgy didge.

This is so fucking cute but I have the feeling if I said it out loud I would summon some kind of Australian demon.

Schoolies sounds like our Spring Break, which I've never been to either, but yeah I was thinking of the gap year. People do that here too ("backpacking in Europe" is the cliche) but from what I've heard it's more common in Australia. And I think when people do it here they get reactions like "Ugh, she's not going to college?" You're pretty much expected to go to college right after high school, get a job, get a house and then you can go on your vacation. :\ I also would not have been able to afford it right after high school (can't now, either), but it would've been nice and probably given me some good life experience.

We probably wear thongs more in summer?

Sandals, right? Flip-flops? Not butt-showing bathing suits. Right? Right?

anyway ty this is great <3

You have already summoned the demon by mocking our fine language. It muttered angrily "Fair suck of the old sauce bottle mate," and glared at you for a few moments. Then it guffawed, slapped its thighs, declared it was just "Playing sillybuggers" with you, pinched you on the cheek, slapped you on the rump, and wandered off to the nearest pub to bet on the hermit crab races. Such is life in colonial Australia.

Oh, and gap years are definitely very acceptable here - some people even take more time off in the middle of their degree. Some of this is probs because we have a student benefit called Youth Allowance that you used to be able to get while you study fulltime if you earned a certain amount of money in 12 months (that's why I took a year off) - but they've changed it to 18 months now. A lot of people work for the first 6 months to save up the money they need for travelling the next 6 months. Backpacking in Europe or a working holiday in the UK are definitely the usual travel choices.

Maybe we wear both.... *cackles maniacally*

Glad you enjoyed my ramblings :)
