My wife's aunt and uncle visited from Australia a couple weeks ago. They sure were interesting to talk to. He is a truck driver that pulls wine tankers and milk tankers between the Adelaide area and Perth, from what I could understand. Prime mover is a term I had not heard of and he seemed to remember a lot about the imperial system of measure. He couldn't figure out why all American trucks had what he thought were huge sleepers, he also couldn't believe guys just let the engine idle all night to keep the cab cool. Apparently they have battery powered ac for resting and they never let the truck idle.
id love to go and visit down there but I don't know if I could handle the plane ride. Lol
