Observations Down Under

I traveled to Australia and New Zealand from November 25 - December 16, 2016. Here are some of my general observations:

• Kangaroos aren't everywhere.
• Hard to tell Kangaroos from Wallabees.
• What Koala bears?
• Feral cats and goats are pests, also rabbits and opossums.
• Mediocre food.
• Nice school buses.
• With the exception of towns, speed limit is the same (100 kph), regardless of whether it's a flat, straight road or a hilly, curvy one. 
• No four lanes in New Zealand
• Difficult place to drive: I got stopped for going too slow (New Zealand) and I got a speeding ticket mailed to me (from Australia).
• Barns are for milking, shearing, and handling, not for housing livestock.
• Dense stocking rates.
• In some places:  sheep on the left and right, ahead and behind.
• Dirty butts.
• Dewormers are used by the truckload.
• Obsession with free-range poultry.
• Chinese, Chinese, and more Chinese 
• Cafe's not restaurants.
• Stuff closes early, by 5 p.m.
• Romneys and Merinos.
• Merino + Possum (clothing).
• Lamb in stores and on menus.
• Farmers are the same everywhere.
• Agriculture faces the same challenges everywhere.
• Coke, not Pepsi. 
• Perception of Green.
• Interested in American politics:  who did you vote for?
