Hi Rob,
thanks for your job, it is great.
I think that could be very useful having a reading at a normal velocity after the slow one, so we could improve our understanding of normal speech.
Finally it would be very easy for you to put it on line.
What do you think about?

Hi Alejandra,
You won’t have that problem in Australian cities. Our drivers are not the best in the world, but they do stop at crosswalks and you can always cross a road safely at the traffic lights. Sounds like you are really excited about coming to Australia. You will have a great time. I would recommend you visit http://www.Australia.com, which is the official website of Tourism Australia. They have lots of interesting links there and also lots of good ideas. They also have a Facebook page especially for those coming on a working holiday. The link is https://www.facebook.com/AustralianWorkingHoliday/timeline.
Have fun and you will soon be speaking like an Aussie.
Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob!
Nice to hear about Canberra and how is so different from Chile. Sadly in Santiago, the capital city, cars and buses are first than people. In some places, you can find streets where is impossible to cross… you have to walk like 4 or 5 blocks away to find a pedestrian crossing, where vehicles don’t even respect it. That causes a lot of accidents because people finally use to do “the short way” …

I can’t wait to be in Australia. I just got the Working and Holiday visa, but I don’t know where to start… I want to be everywhere, but I need to land somewhere…
Which state do you recommend me to start for my adventure ?

Hi Ray,
Many thanks for your comment. Canberra certainly is a much underrated place and is a worthy capital for our country I think.
Cheers,
Rob

Another great post and images Rob. Like you I thoroughly enjoyed the wide open spaces at Canberra and loved the tree lines avenues and arterial roads connecting the major centers of the city. It certainly is a place to enjoy!
