[sequoias]

Will there ever be high speed rail line to connect major cities in Australia?

Why do they use "road trains" instead of freight trains? (they have a weird infrastructure)

What's the minimum hourly wage for Australia?

 

[Koala]

G'day mate! I'm back for more questions for you, some aussie stuff.

What AFL footy team do you barracks for?

Who will win this year premiership flag in AFL?

Have you been to Uluru?

What do you think of our government?

What are your plans in Perth next week?

Quite we don't have our own WWE down here, but we have WWE tours coming in capital cities, yes. Like there was one in Melbourne few months ago.

Will there ever be high speed rail line to connect major cities in Australia?

Well, I am not sure, as far as I know there is XPT which is the fastest train from Sydney onto Brisbane and Melbourne, but not fast as japan trains I think.

Why do they use "road trains" instead of freight trains? (they have a weird infrastructure)

Actually, we have frieght trains, but that occurs mostly in Melbourne and Sydney, they only store these quaility stuff for stores and others...

Road trains, I am not sure what you mean, but I believe that we have a weird infrastructure, yes!

What's the minimum hourly wage for Australia?

As far as I know, $6.67 per hour at McDonald's for a 15 year old staff.

G'day Koala, I hope Perth is treating you well over there

What AFL footy team do you barracks for?

Sydney Swans, of course.

Who will win this year premiership flag in AFL?

I am not sure about that but I don't watch AFL very much due to a busy schedule...but I can take a stab that geelong cats would win the premiership flag this year, maybe?

Have you been to Uluru?

Nope and one day, I shall!

What do you think of our government?

The government in Australia, for me, in Canberra, is not as good as we thought.

What are your plans in Perth next week?

Well, Perth is my first time, so a lot of touring would be great for me! But I would be attending the deaf social night on friday night, if my cousin Madeleine Jones (Ex NAATI interpreter in Perth) could take me there!

Ah, cool....I'm sure they probably go up to 100-125 mph maximum

Road trains are semi trucks with many trailers that goes cross country for transporting goods

As far as I know, $6.67 per hour at McDonald's for a 15 year old staff.
Hmmm, minimum wage in the United states currently is $5.85 per hour, except for a few states pay lower than that. Washington state's minimum is $7.93 per hour, so the minimum wages varies state to state. It will go to $7.25 for minimum per hour for the USA in July 2009.

Here are your answers on the behalf

Thanks..


And yes, but I rarely see these road trains, but I would not see them in a crowded city! But in the stretched highways, maybe.

Australia is a very beautiful country, I was born and bred in my hometown, grew it love it. We have a lot of different things, you americans would love to admire on!

Have you ever went to Australia Zoo where Steve Irwin work at?

Unfortuantely, no - and I would love to, and I know about steve Irwin last year, I was in class, when the news spread, and it was shocking news, 5 minutes after the news was all over.

Does it snow there?

Well, in my area, it rarely snows, but in about 1 hour and half away from my hometown, they have high mountains and they definitely have snow, and they have a snow season and it is booming right now.

 

[JClarke]

That is a funny question but fortuntely, yes.. but I believe all toliets are the same.

[JClarke]

Well, if you intend to fly out to Australia, Sydney is the first city to stop by as there is a lot of things you would see! Like this famous landmark of the 'Opera House'

Well, better not listen to the TV shows then! Australia sure have a lot of mountains! In my hometown, it is nested in a mountain valley! Sydney roads is not very flat as you may think! Sydney has plenty of hills everywhere. We have the famous mountains between NSW and VIC but forgot the name.

Wow, poor Australia people who are WWE fans dont have other wrestling league to watch or whatever, ha

But what happens if I found some deep information, and it turns out they have its own wrestling league, what would you say, mate?

Haha, I aint surprise they have only one or two of wrestling league over there while we have too many here in USA

Too many leagues in the USA would earn too much money and that would be the reason for it to set up a new league? Prehaps, they should distrubute around the world! >_<

(no offense, mate)

Next question, please!
