  I’d rather be shipwrecked with a tradie than a ceo. 😂

  Australians don’t overly complain about bad food or service. If we don’t like it we will just simply not go back there and let our friends know.

  I understand the sentiment that Australia is just a part of who I am. My family emigrated to Australia when I was 3. They went back to Ireland. Later, they convinced me to go back. I spent 7 months in Ireland in poverty and grey skies. I pined for home, came back to Australia, and have never left again.

I said &apos;Sorry mate, bit &nbsp;late&apos; He replied &quot; No worries mate &quot;<br>I thanked him again as i got off at my destination...as per normal .<br>It&apos;s called -Community ,,, shared values.....no strangers. How CIVILISED life is ...So grateful i am Australian.<br>I LOSE NOTHING BY A LITTLE HUMILITY.....I GAIN FRIENDS INSTEAD

  I&apos;m Australian, born in Germany. My last contact with my German relatives got , for me, my biggest compliment. &nbsp;They thought I was delightfully uncomplicated. Australia teaches you to appreciate the simple things. &nbsp;You can be wealthy, but choose to live an uncomplicated, simple life. &nbsp;Wealth is not always measured materially

  The birds tell me when it’s dawn and dusk. We respect tradies. They are doing things we don’t know how to do, or are able to do it better than us.

  As an Aussie, I say “sorry” quite often and also have it said to me often. <br>We’re not really apologising for doing something wrong. I think it’s just a form of acknowledgement that we are in each other’s space, but no big deal.

  Aussie here. I’m going to give a shout out to our Kiwi cousins as being super lovely and laid back as well with a really beautiful country to boot. It’s pretty sweet as in this neck of the woods down south 🇦🇺🇳🇿😁

  You wake up to your birds singing, in Australia we wake up because our birds are screaming.

  Aussie here - I love France . We aren’t perfect believe me, but she does identify things I recognise as ours. We love our birds - they are such characters. And we dont like people who are up themselves.

  As an Aussie, all these things she said were true. It doesn’t matter what kind of job you do, everyone is important. Treat everyone with respect, &nbsp;doubly so for those that serve you food. Tradies get paid really well here in Australia. All the best from Melbourne Australia

  Tradesmen in Australia earn big money. Builders, electricians, bricklayers, plumbers, and so on, are very well paid and we need more! Come on down !!!!😊
