So, I'm not actually driving yet...but i've been trying to pay close attention to the rules of the road when being a passenger. For the most part i've found most of the rules from the US are the same here, except I'm pretty sure you can't make a left on a red, which for us would be a right on a red. But thats beside the point. A few weeks ago I was having a conversation with my cousins about rules of the road here and they said something about stopping for ducks crossing the road because here ducks have the right of way. I don't really remember the conversation exactly but I remember something about ducks and thought, "huh, thats weird." Yesterday we had just left the shops and were heading home and up ahead at an intersection I saw 2 rather large ducks just hanging out in the cross walk. I was riding with my cousin in laws parents, Deb and Kev, and they started telling me about the duck law. I think its just crazy! Not to say that in the states we would run over ducks or anything but its actually a law here! And yes, every single car stopped and waited patiently until the ducks finished crossing the road. It would have been a great photo, if I had my camera out.
I went away this weekend with my cousin in laws family to Myuna Bay. Its about an hour north of here. Their church was having a family retreat weekend. It was a lot of fun, very laid back and relaxing. I love getting to see more of Australia, its such a beautiful place! I was not near as good as I should have been about taking photos this weekend, but I did get a few.
