Things You Learn When You Travel To Australia
Before we begin, this post is just for a bit of fun!
Aussie is full of incredible scenery, epic tours and some of the best beaches in the world, but it is also home to a load of quirks.
To Australians, this is all a normal part of life down under and we love them for it!
So lets go, here are our fave Aussie quirks…

Some quirks
Vegemite is actually super amazing (unpopular opinion)
Skydiving is amazing (you gotta try it!)
Public transport is so good and cheap.
Coconuts kill more people than sharks.
‘Shrimp on the barbie’- they actually call them prawns.
Wine comes in boxes (they call it goon over there).
Tim Tams are life (these delish biscuits are to die for!)
Kangaroos aren’t hopping around everywhere (sad face).
There are creepy crawlies but not that many.
The Aussies really do love BBQ’s – there are public use BBQ’s on the beaches and in parks.
Pedestrian crossings make a “bok bok” noise.
Fast food giants go by different names (Burger King is Hungry Jacks and McDonald’s is Maccas.
Literally everything is abbreviated – afternoon turns into arvo.
Flip flops are called thongs.
You can buy kangaroo meat in the supermarkets! (weird).
You can’t buy booze from the supermarket, you have to go to the bottle shop.
Flats are called Units.

Genuinely saved me a lot of dolla and stress, thank you so much!
Steve and I were incredibly impressed with Reuben's great professionalism and his ability to find us a wonderful deal for our upcoming N.Z holiday in 2024. Reuben was so helpful, informative and gained us a awesome JUCY Campervan package. Thank you so much for all your assistance.🤩 I would highly recommend Rat Pack Travel to all travellers. 😊Lindy Jurd.
Great service from Ben, can’t recommend RatPack enough. Got us a great price over a really busy period and got us the van we wanted. So easy and will definitely use them again in the future.
Gregg was very helpful in helping me plan my trip very last minute! Thanks so much
Jenna was a huge help getting me a camper for my trip up through the East Coast. Availability was tight and I can’t thank Jenna enough for sorting and at a great price. Definitely worth taking the stress out of searching and using these guys.
Seems to good to be true but Ratpack are everything they say and more. Helped me so much to choose a van and made the whole process so easy! Big shout out to Jenna and all her help above and beyond thanks so much!! Highly recommend
Ben from RatPack Travel was amazing!! Highly recommend getting in contact with this company if you’re unsure what kind of vehicle is best suited for your road-trip plans!
Jenna was so helpful and informative. She made the whole process of booking a camper so easy and answered any questions that I had. I would 100% recommend Ratpack travel for booking a campervan trip! Thanks Jenna 😀
Jenna was amazing! She took all the worry and stress out of booking our holiday! She was so helpful and patient, offering so much advice and securing us a lovely discount as well! Congratulations RatPack Travel - you have a winner in Jenna!
Messaged on Instagram and within a few minutes Reuben had replied, he went through every bit of detail to help arrange our east coast trip, providing the specification of the van and the true costings without any pressure. Very excited to start our trip next month, credit to the team for sure
Mikey was amazing and helped us out a great deal! Can’t recommend them enough!
Just booked a camper through Ratpack Travel with Gregg. He was super professional and talked me through the entire process with constant updates - absolute legend. One of the easiest experiences booking a camper I've had. Would definitely recommend!
Reuben was so helpful to deal with. Would highly recommend
Thanks for sorting out a camper for us Ben! I look forward to the trip and travelling in the RV you found for us
Gregg was fantastic chasing a great price and was extremely responsive - he called when he said he would, chased options immediately and was quick with follow up communication. The process was quick and painless and ended with us getting a great deal.
