A4 Most surprising thing abt Australia I just learned? You make $25 AUD an hour at @McDonalds Ummm, can we import that here? 🤔 Asking for a friend. #Travelskills

A4 We are constantly in awe of its geographic diversity – this vast continent contains lush rainforests, arid lunar landscapes, dramatic mountain ranges, swaths of pristine beach and an amazing diversity of exotic wildlife: https://t.co/2TJwmUMNA8 #TravelSkills #Australia

A4 Australia is famous for its gorgeous beaches, but did you know it’s home to a booming wine country as well? Victoria’s #YarraValley boasts more than 70 vineyards. #TravelSkills https://t.co/rnL13Of4YG

A4. Most surprising thing about #Australia for most first time visitors is the size. We are BIG, almost as big as USA. 1 week is never enough, minimum of 2 weeks at very least, preferably 1 month :) #TravelSkills

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!)

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A4: It has a diverse, multicultural demographic especially in the larger cities. Many Aussies do not look like what many people have in their minds when they first think of an “Australian”. #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A4 The heavy influence of its Greek, Italian and Lebanese communities on its food culture. Very Mediterranean! #TravelSkills

A4. Most surprising thing about Australia? The fact that they love BBQ's but we couldn't find one grill in any of the campgrounds we stayed at - just a slab of metal. #TravelSkills

A4 Use google maps and get directions from Sydney to Cairns. It's about 2500 Km. That's a long drive! Fly instead! #TravelSkills https://t.co/VpXXT2deZy

A4 Small thing that's surprised me: I'm having trouble finding hotel rooms that accommodate 4 people in Sydney. Trying to do it on the cheap because we're not there long, but it looks like we'll need to do two rooms for our fam. #TravelSkills @Australia

A4 Not going to lie here - the cost. You can know about the cost of living and do your research but it's still something else to pay $6 for a small cappuchino. (Don't hate me, Australia, but Italy does it better and they charge 1 Euro) #travelskills
