Australia was nothing like I expected. Many people told me that Australia is a big village and I imagined straight roads with no cars, yellow soils where one or two occasional kangaroos are grazing in the sunshine. I thought, on our way from Canberra to Gold Coast I will be driving at least half the way. But to my surprise, the roads were huge, busy and highly complicated, If you add to this our inadequate car Fiat Punto you will correctly guess that I didn’t touch the steering wheel at all. However I navigated. A lady with a strange African accent in my cellphone’s GPS was accompanied by swearing of my sweating husband, who I believe developed lots of gray hairs after our travel.
