What’s it like to live in Australia?

When I was asked to write a post on what it’s like to live down under I didn’t know where to start. It wasn’t until I thought about my life from an outsider’s point of view that I considered maybe telling you a little about my week would suffice.

So here is the Aussie-ness from my week (please be aware I wrote this on 30th Dec, 2012 – yes I’m very early with my guest posts):
~ My husband rang me this morning to tell me he hit a kangaroo on the way to work. Yes, it may sound funny but those things are like suicide ninjas. One minute the road is clear, the next, 150 kilos of biting, scratching kangaroo is right in front of your car. But thankfully hubby was a-ok.

~ I have two working dogs, although I don’t live on a farm. One is a border collie – a sheep dog. The other is a blue-heeler – a cattle dog. Very Australian. 😉

~ I’m currently babysitting a blue-tongue lizard for my next-door neighbours cause apparently a normal family pet wouldn’t cut it.

~ My Christmas day consisted of a huge feast on the back veranda of my father-in-laws property. We ate prawns (not shrimp), ham, salads and finished the day off with a huge water fight.

~ And the highlight was going yabbying with my family and my father-in-law.

I hope you enjoyed a little insight into my Aussie life and will love Concealed Desire, which is based in Melbourne, Australia.

Book Blurb

A love that breaks all the rules…

Since her first day at work, Beth Graison has been in love with Dean Sutherland—the “Son” in Sutherland & Son. Although he’s an unrepentant player, there’s an unmistakable connection between them, and she knows he feels it too. But she’s not about to risk her career for any man, especially one with an office right down the hall whom she works with every day.

Dean Sutherland doesn’t do love, but he does do women. And he hasn’t felt more than sexual attraction for any woman until Beth. Entirely feminine, smart, and with a natural beauty beyond compare, she makes him think about all kinds of uncomfortable things—like a future and happiness—things he knows from experience are pure fiction.

When his father, the “Sutherland” in Sutherland & Son, propositions Beth to be more than just an employee, Dean can’t keep her at arm’s length any longer. But he doesn’t expect the scorching kiss they share, or the idea that forms when he holds her in his arms. Can he stop his father’s manipulating game by making the first move on Beth? Or will his reputation as a womanizer make him just one more Sutherland she wants to ignore?

    • Yes, from the USA it takes around 18-24 hours I think. My parents have made the trip to Vegas a few times and needed a day to recover from jet lag.

      And I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be naughty, but when I read “…Enter me please…” I almost snorted my coffee.

      • Hi Eden

        Thank you for stopping by …and yes..the ‘enter me’ comment has been happening all month.

        We are celebrating our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY at The Reading Cafe and people just have to post ‘enter me in the giveaway’…but most are saying…’enter me’….we have had a few chuckles…lol

  4. Yes, I would love to visit Australia some day. It is most definitely on my Bucket List. Both my son and daughter have visited there and it’s a must that Mom and Dad follow suit.

    My Australian author friend, Anna Campbell, has said that if I get there, we will share a pot of tea and a good chat!

    • Concealed Desire will give you a little trip to Melbourne. I hope you like it.

      Yabbying is when you drop netted “pots” into farm dams. You leave meat in the middle and the yabbies crawl out from under the mud and get stuck in the pots. Once cooked they taste better than prawns and are a lot bigger.

  11. The book sounds great and I loved hearing about your “day” in Australia. Hitting Kangaroo sounds about the same as hitting a moose or deer and we get those here. they come out of the ditches and are on top of the car before you know it. I’m also glad that you explained yabbing as I had never heard of that. Sounds like fun to catch and great to eat.

  12. Loved reading about a day in your life! We don’t have kangaroo’s here in Michigan, but we have white tail deer — which sound similar in the flighty jumping in front of your car. Last summer my husband and I were out on a date night and decided to take our Jeep and not the Harley since it looked like it might rain. Good thing, on our way home a deer ran into the side of our Jeep. Could have been fatal on the bike – in the Jeep it just cost us the deductible on our insurance to get the Jeep fixed.

    I also learned something new – yabbying – I would love to be able to get fresh seafood, but Michigan is not the best place for that…

    • Wow, you were lucky Theresa. A family friend once hit a Kangaroo while driving his taxi (cab). It jumped off a hill, down into the car, smashed the windscreen and became caught. The Kangaroo kicked around – on top of our friend and cut him up really bad, he also lost an eye.

      Thank you for sharing your story.

  13. Your Kangaroos’s sound like deer around where I live. I used go to work at midnight and one time this deer hit me. No kidding. I had stopped because I saw a group of them crossing and this one ran right into my car. It kind of flipped off the hood/side and then got up and GLARED at me like I had done something wrong. When I got to work and told my co-workers, they thought it was hilarious!
    Btw, I would love to be able to have a water fight at Christmas….I think I just need to move there, lol.

    • I’m sorry June, but I had a bit of a giggle too. I can just imagine the deer glaring at you.

      And water pistols are always a Christmas present in this house. It gets way too hot. Imagine cooking that huge roasted, flaming hot dinner for the entire family in the middle of summer.
