“Because I can assure you, I traipsed every single website, blog, TikTok account about moving to Australia and living your best life in 2023, and guess what, not one of them mentioned any of this f****** stuff.”“I do now understand what this means, it means ‘how are you doing?’,” Charlee said about the classic Aussie greeting.“When I first came here in November and someone asked me how I was going, I told them I was going to the supermarket.
“This is one of the things that is still throwing me and I have been driving here for 10 days now,” Charlee said. “If you want to indicate, your indicators are only on the right hand side of your steering wheel, you flick them down if you want to go right, you flick them up if you want to go left. “Please don’t do what I do and get to a roundabout in rush hour with lots of crazy scary Australians driving behind you all wanting to get home and sit outside in their flip-flops and singlets, because when I go to a roundabout, and I hit indicate, I set my window-wipers off like f****** crazy.TikTok/@CharleedownunderCharlee said that in the UK, after you’ve come to a stop at a red light, it then goes from red to amber to green.

‘Overwhelming’: David Nduwimana’s rise from refugee to national performerMusician David Nduwimana reveals how he has gone from arriving in Australia as a refugee to performing the national anthem at the Australia Day Live Concert in front of the steps of the Sydney Opera House. Mr Nduwimana said a few years after arriving in Australia, he met former Rugby Australia CEO Rob Clarke. “In 2017, I had a conversation with him. I was talking to him about how I loved the national anthem of Australia,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “I love the dynamic of the song and the words – the words are inclusive; that’s what makes me feel connected to that.” Mr Nduwimana said he became a permanent citizen in Australia around the time Mr Clarke became interim CEO of Rugby Australia. “He (Rob Clarke) said, ‘you know what, I want to celebrate this day’, then he gave me the opportunity to sing.” The musician sang what is widely recognised as one of the best renditions of the national anthem on the night of the third 2020 Bledisloe clash between the Wallabies and the All Blacks. “It was really overwhelming, it was really interesting and exciting times for me to be able to stand up there and just express my heart and my gratitude to everyone, to all Australians and all the people who had been behind the scenes helping me to get through everything,” Mr Nduwimana said.
