A4. I think the most surprising thing about @Australia is just how BIG it is. After 3 visits, I still haven't even begun to scratch the surface of the country/continent. #TravelSkills

A4: @travelskills @Australia #TravelSkills most surprising thing was just how diverse it is, from Kuranda to Uluru to Sydney — there’s something for everyone! (Even a chance to eat green ants!)

People often only think of the Outback, but Australia is also very lush. Check out the Daintree Rainforest https://t.co/ZjMxnhSah1 #TravelSkills

A5 I love Aussie slang! Esp how everything is shortened to "ie"- for example: Australian-> Aussie; Sunglasses -> Sunnies; Board Shorts-> Boardies #TravelSkills https://t.co/fG2EIlb9LA

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis I’ve read that 80% of the animals are unique to Australia. I don’t know if that number is entirely accurate but it’s so cool that there are so many species that can only be found Down Under. Australia is a unique and special place for sure! #TravelSkills

A5: The rhyming slang baffles but also fascinates me. But No Worries is the one I’ve co-opted most often. #TravelSkills @Australia

A5. I'd never heard 'avo' for avocado till I visited @Australia for the first time. Now I can't stop using it, especially since moving to California. #TravelSkills
