well hey congrats to Australia!!

thank you love!

unfortunately this was more of a vote against dutton than a vote for albanese election, but i’m very happy that we have albanese for another term and that dutton isn’t even an mp anymore. hopefully albanese is able to clean up some more of the mess the lnp has caused in their ten years in office

i love randomly rediscovering songs that you loved as a child but were too young to know how to find it again

wait addendum to my ask — i am not sure it is a meal (a dip?) but to make it harder i am going to ask you to exclude cob..loaf? is it a dip? please use this ask to talk about it if you so choose🥰

i did laugh out loud to this, thank you <3

so cob loaf dip (loml) is not a meal, but rather something you would take to a large gathering of sorts.

essentially it’s a hollowed out cob loaf with a warm cheesy dip poured inside it, and you bake the scooped out insides to be toasty, so then you use the excess bits and the cob loaf itself to eat the dip in the middle

and you can make the dip anything. i usually like it with cheese, bacon and chives, but i know some people use spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, possibilities are endless

ask me anything!

i am assuming as is the usual way that it’s exaggerated, but, just as someone who has a completely limited knowledge of Australia and Australian culture…how far off is the show from a typical experience?

although also i don’t even know (or remember, if they mentioned it) what part of Australia this is supposed to be set in…

<3<3

hello v :D

i would say that while, yes of course the show is exaggerated for the purpose of tv, it is a pretty generalised representation of the australian culture, especially for east sydney where it takes place (i'm not from east sydney, but from my experiences in sydney, it seems legit)

i can't speak for towns in the outback or in more rural areas, but a typical city high school is like heartbreak high. also depending on the state, because some states are slightly more conservative than others.

also, it would hard to find a school without a school uniform, so that is a big difference, obviously for the sake of the show.

ugh i love this little show - it's so cool to finally have some good tv from my country <3
