Are we jealous! Thanks for the pictures.
The first time I used the phrase “down under"with an Aussie colleague, he said that was an unfounded prejudice and showed me a map with the South pole up and the names of all locations written to be read that way. I exclaimed “IT’S UPSIDE DOWN!” and was handed my teeth with “THERE YOU GO AGAIN!!” Just a warning. Also “bottom of the world” “down South” etc
Much love, G&G
