  1. We also have a lot of small cafes and even milk-bars where you can sit, sip on a delicious cup of coffee made by a trained barista, or a milkshake with ten flavours to choose from, as well as a cake or two, sometimes even a breakfast and lunch menu to satisfy our hunger! There are a few near me who serve such things as eggs and bacon on toasted sour dough bread, or a breakfast smoothie bowl with fresh fruits, or a piece of grilled fish with chips and salad. Aussies are well aware of these cafes and flock to them with a friend or family member. Go local! šŸ˜šŸ‡¦šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦šŸ‡ŗ

  2. Free refills is a puzzle to me, especially since the US cup sizes are so huge! The most I can drink at one sitting is 300ml, so a refill is not something I ever need. Free refills wouldnā€™t encourage me to have another drink, I usually choose water so I donā€™t consume a lot of sugar, and tap water is free as well as drinkable and safe.

  3. Ā @AmandaMittingĀ  I couldnā€™t agree more! Aussies have progressively become more health conscious in the last thirty years to the point where Maccaā€™s sells salads, very small though they may be, but it shows theyā€™re aware! Our ingredients are better too, as well as our labelling on all products in the supermarket, although commercially produced bread coupled with my low sodium diet, led me to teach myself how to make my own bread and it tastes so much better than the supermarket breads, plus I donā€™t add salt, just flour, instant dried yeast, a little sugar to feed the yeast, water, and a little EVO oil to keep the bread moist. From there I can add mixed spice and soaked sultanas to make my own spicy fruit loaf, or a mashed banana or some mashed pumpkin, into the dough to flavour the bread. I love kneading by hand because you can feel the dough change from a sticky raggedy mess into a plump, smooth round ball, plus baking fills your kitchen with the aroma of freshly baked bread.

  4. Ā @AmandaMittingĀ  Iā€™m the only one who eats bread so I make smaller loaves or rolls, or sometimes a small focaccia embedded with cherry or grape tomatoes and some herbs. Cheese is high in sodium so I buy the low fat Jarlsberg slices which are 60mg per slice, and I tear two of them into narrow strips and place them on the top of my focaccia, which melts and gives a nice cheese flavour without the high sodium. Iā€™ve been on a low sodium diet for about ten years, hence the bread. If you want to make a small loaf, use two cups of bread flour and a level tsp instant yeast. I tried using my Breville Scraper Mixer for bread but I couldnā€™t tell when it was ready to bake because I couldnā€™t feel the dough in my hands. I follow Bake with Jack, heā€™s got over 200 videos about bread, plus heā€™s a cutie pie! šŸ˜œšŸ˜

  5. Ā @AmandaMittingĀ  You can make the smaller loaf dough but bake it in your regular oven so you can decide the shape and size you want.

  7. Any sports that Australia competes in on a world scale, such as cricket and rugby league, will be a big spectator sport in Australia. Baseball is played here but not internationally so there are only some local teams.

  8. Ross is right about potato bake, itā€™s really yummy! Iā€™ve been following his channel for over a year, also Ben and Maz, the other Uk couple who also moved to Qld.
