Flying out of Perth over to Sydney, you see NOTHING for a long time....no wonder the locals tell me there's not so much crime there; where ya gonna run to, mate?
ahem... let me bring you up to date on Australian vernacular. When flying from Sydney to Perth, you don't see "nothing", you see "Wall-to-wall of bugger-all".
Lesson concludes :-)

Actually I think when you fly to Perth from Sydney once you get "West of the rabbit proof fence" somewhere near the "Black Stump" it's "Wall-to-bloodywall bugger-all" except for that Dinkum Dunny I used once (and only once). G'Day Aucker(sp?).

Australian vernacular.
My ocker pals there speak Australianese and I speak Americanese....there are big differences at times, like pronouncing tomato, potato and aluminum.
