Yes I'm aware I could look all this up on the internet, but what fun is that? Interaction with my Aussie mates is much more fun! These are all things I wonder about. More to follow, but let's start with these.
How many time zones are in Australia? Here in the US it's later on the East coast than the West coast. Is it the same down under or opposite?
Is there a consensus favorite beer there? What's the consistent best seller?
Does water really swirl in the opposite direction when draining?

Much ty.
Found this one a few months back.
Apparently a lot of dirt roads, but besides that, not a lot different from here in the States.

I read somewhere they have these claws that can really mess u up.
as a neighbour, I will try to answer a few questions,
yes the sun rises in the east, and sets in the west, like it does everywhere on the globe, but it is winter down this hemisphere at the moment,
they have 3 time zones, although some states have different day light savings hours so sometimes there is 4,
beer is a very state based thing, i would almost think VB would be most popular, Fosters is hardly drank anywhere in australia, but popular as an aussie beer overseas,
yes the water goes the other way,
and the Australian Wallibies Rugby Team has a chance to lift the Bledisloe cup in rugby off the New Zealand All Blacks for the first time in 16 years this weekend in Auckland, after smashing the All Blacks in game 1 in Perth last week,
Your thinking of wallaby’s
It’s sold in most supermarkets, but not as much as beef, lamb, pork etc
If I had to guess I would say it’s a little less than 10% of meat sales, but that’s a total guess.
Kangaroos are really abundant so we should probably consume more.
It tastes good, it’s really lean, so a little hard to cook, it over cooks quickly and gets really tough, so should be medium rare.
Roo’s really are that tough especially the big reds, however they are not aggressive, they will always choose to hop away, but will fuck someone up if they are cornered.
Because of there inclination to flee, they don’t ever really hurt humans, but they do kill quite a few dogs who chase them.
Every state generally has their local beer.
But in my opinion our big domestic beers are pretty ordinary at best.
Beer wise the best thing that happened to us was the craft beer trend. Most good pubs have 1 or 2 big domestic beers (like VB, XXXX, Carlton) on tap, a couple of international beers and a couple of craft beers.
Soccer is also slowly gaining popularity, but it’s still quite a way behind the other sports.

WA was my favourite part of Aus, overlooked by most but I really enjoyed my time there.
It's a beautiful country.
I am now back in Aus.
I should update my profile
we share a pretty common heritage, and a close relationship, and a pretty similar way of life, we could have been part of Australia early on but didn't want to be, we share our military appreciation holiday Anzac day on the 25th of april, which is the day the ANZAC forces landed on the beaches of Gillipoli on what now is Turkey,
NZ being much smaller i think we probably care more about Aussie than they do about us, sort of like a little brother chip on our shoulder, and we like beating them in sport, and they seem to hate losing to us,
, we have professional teams in aussie professional competitions in Rugby League, Soccer, basketball and baseball, and our Rugby Union, Netball , Cricket and other national teams play each other a lot,
You are right , I was thinking of a Wallaby . I apologize to all the Kangaroos out there , for calling them wimpy . Especially that bad mofo in the picture ...
