Australia is still the lucky country

Well Ozzies, you can stop whinging about the price of things in the country.

While travelling around the UK the average petrol price has been around 1 pound 6 pence.  That’s over $2 Australian.

You also have to pay to pee in public toilet. 20 to 30 p.

And if you think pay parking is bad in Australia then think again.  Here even if its just a little country town with one shop and one pub you Pay and Display.  One place I stopped in I had only intended staying a couple of hours but had to pay for all day parking.  Even when you go to a tourist attraction you pay to park and then pay to go in.

So next time you are travelling along the Hume Highway and pull into one of those nice rest area with a proper loo then think yourself lucky.  That would cost you around 3 pounds 30 pence over here.
