We hope the jetlag from your trip (BED to DEN) isn’t too much of an issue, because there’s lots on the list.

AFTERNOON

Let’s kick this tour into gear with some new phrases, delicious food and incredible culture.

Just like British English, you’ve probably noticed with how different the Australian accent is. Here’s a few Australian slang terms to help you get by in your travels.

“A Cold One”

A beer

“Barbie”
Barbecue or grill

“Cab Sav”

Cabernet Sauvignon

Grab a bite

Australia is all about barbecue (or grilling on the barbie). Find the perfect spot on OpenTable and order in some authentic (and delicious) barbecue.

A sight to see

You can’t go to Sydney without seeing the Opera House. Its architecture is one of the most creative (and well-known) works of history and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Now, it’s time to discover what it’s all about.

Fun facts

It’s almost impossible to think of Australia without kangaroos and koalas coming to mind. An interesting fact about the word “koala” is that it means “animal who does not drink.” It’s not surprising because koalas don’t even drink water – they get all their liquid from eucalyptus. And did you know that kangaroos can reach speeds of over 35 MPH? Now you do.
