- Starbucks is not a big deal (though there is one), and people drink a lot more instant coffee. One of the more popular drinks is the "flat white", which is like a latte
- Everyone has an electric kettle for heating up water for cooking and for tea; morning and afternoon tea are standard
- Goodies are always available!
- Gas ("petrol") is much more expensive at $1.82/liter (4 liters per gallon)
- Homes are chilly when there's no sun because most are not insulated and don't have central heat, so you want to look for a place that gets good sunlight in the key places (our house gets good sun)
- Most of the clothes drying is done on the clothesline
- Many lots have been subdivided, so there are a lot homes in a small area, quite close together
- Mobile phones and the plans are a lot more expensive, so everyone has landlines as well.
