    General Sydney/Aussie Customs: Sydney Weather
  • Tip Rating:
  • Sydney has a temperate climate, with warm to hot summers (it can exceed 33C) and mild winters. In summer season (Dec to Feb) the sun can get very strong and you should wear a hat and sunscreen. Sydney can also get quite humid especially in February. Bush Fires in the surrounding areas are also a problem during prolonged periods of drought. .

    General Sydney/Aussie Customs: Try the local papers...
  • Tip Rating:
  • You can check out the local (and Australian national, and international) news by reading the excellent Sydney Morning Herald. You can find the online edition at www.smh.com.au. These days, you have to register to get access to the website, but it's free and well worth doing if you are interested in Australian news. Sadly it doesn't publish on Sundays - if there's one thing that Sydney lacked on my visits there it is was decent Sunday newspaper. However, it looks as if the Sunday sister paper to the SMH, the Sun-Herald, may be better than it used to be... The tabloid rival to the SMH is the Daily Telegraph - you can find it online at www.dailytelegraph.com.au.

  • Tip Rating:
  • In Australia they drive on the left, like in the UK. But there the similarity ends. Road signs, layout and just about everything else auto seems to be american. Weird!

  • Tip Rating:
  • If an Aussie man/woman comments on your thong, please note, he/she is not being overly friendly - a thong is in fact Aussie-speak for flip-flops.

  • Tip Rating:
  • And last but not least, learn some important Aussie slang. Why? So you won't look lost when an Aussie is trying to chat with you.

    General Sydney/Aussie Customs: The Australian Culture is now...
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Australian Culture is now near, pure American. The US FOrces had a terrific impact on us during WW2. Had it not been for The United States of America, we, as a nation were nearly finished. The Japanese force the attacked Pearl Harbour, 7 December 1941, attacked and destroyed the town of Darwin on our NW coast 4 months later. We who lived through and survived WW2 have a great respect and love for The United States of America, forget the politicians and government squabbles, WE Aussies Love you Yanks.

  • Tip Rating:
