Fun Facts about Australia 🦘 🌴 Over 85% of Australians live within 50 km of the coast, so the beach is basically our backyard.🐚 The Great Barrier Reef is the largest reef system in the world, and it’s even visible from space.🌊 Australia has over 10,000 beaches, you could visit a new one every day for 27 years.☀️ Australia is the only continent covered by a single country.🐧 Phillip Island is home to the world’s largest little penguin colony.🌺 Fraser Island (K’gari) is the largest sand island in the world.🐪 Australia actually has the largest wild camel population in the world, estimates run over 1 million camels roaming mostly through central Australia (NT, SA, WA, and QLD)🌊 Cape Flattery in Far North Queensland is home to the world’s largest silica sand mine.

Bunnings—my favourite store in Australia! I love looking at all the beautiful λουλούδια (louloudia = flowers) and plants. There’s always something new to brighten up the garden.Also, a fun Aussie tradition: on weekends, you’ll usually find a charity sausage sizzle out the front. For a few dollars, you can grab a sausage in bread with onions and sauce. The money goes to local schools, sports teams, or community groups. It’s a simple but iconic part of Aussie weekend life.
Spent the weekend soaking in special moments – started with the ANZAC Day dawn service , always moving and meaningful. Spotted some cheeky rainbow lorikeets 🌈🦜 and a sweet baby magpie, baked some banana bread 🍞, and to top it off, the Roosters smashed it in their ANZAC Day match against the Knights 🐓🏉! Aussie autumn vibes all around 🍂.Greek word of the day: νόστιμο (nóstimo) = delicious!
