Part one still at home and preping

so due to my last blog having so many Americans and Germans and Aussies ( Aussies don't count you already live here) i have decided to give you some tips if you are moving to the supposed "Luck country" so to start off time to declare how some of these stereotypes are true and the rest of these are BULLSHIT!
so to start
Vegemite: everyone thinks we like Vegemite that is completely untrue we actually hate the stuff and Small amounts of people buy the stuff mainly old people and our parents the stuff tastes like well to be honest bullshit it is salty and america don't eat it off the spoon put the stuff on toast but even then very lightly.

Kangaroos: to start off AUSTRALIAN CHILDREN DO NOT RIDE KANGAROOS TO SCHOOL kangaroos are dangerous creatures they will kick you if get to close they are very territorial and will maul you should you become a nuance to them next up we don't have tamed kangaroos as pet as I've explained the only time you will see a kangaroo is on the highway as either roadkill or in there natural habitat or at the zoo

 next is how you think the whole country is desert: the country of Australia is arid but is isn't 100% sand and dirt there are large amounts of forest and beaches. i have uploaded a photo to show you.
      should be proof enough :P
so any way another thing about the country that is Australia moving here now is a bad idea due to the economical situation to apply for unemployment benefits takes six months to obtain or any form of pension or Benefits plus you will be working until your 70 if you want to retire. next on the list is weather I've watched PBS news if you think 92 degrees Fahrenheit is hot your in for a good awakening with weather 92 degrees Fahrenheit is about 33 degrees Celsius that's pretty hot but at its most it gets up to about 40 degrees Celsius and gets down to at its coldest about -15 degrees in small areas like the snowy mountains and Canberra but be prepped for hot weather mainly stereotypical i know but it is. next up is education best to be read by parents being transferred to AUS or just wanting to move here education in Australia is divided into three sections in the majority of the country but four in the ACT (Australian Capital Territory) the three consist of Preschool, Primary School and High School in the ACT you have college but that is for years 11 and 12 i will delve into it further in another post. last is geography and parliament Australia is listed as one of the largest islands in the world and the only country to take up and entire continent Australia is divided into six states and two territories the six states consist of  new south wales,Queensland,Victoria,south Australia,western Australia and Tasmania the two territories are the ACT mentioned earlier and NT (northern territory) each state has a capital most on the east side of Australia are known well which are Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Canberra (Canberra is the capital of Australia for anyone who asks otherwise.) With government Australia is a democracy and have two houses the house of representatives and the senate the house of reps is where you will find people like the heads of departments and the prime minister and the senate is where the Governor general (queens rep) and the senators for each state and territory. that should be enough info whilst you pack you bags and order your tickets in my next post ill talk about the basics depending on your state starting with NSW then ACT and so on.
thanks for reading
