Driving, Road Rules: The Australian Political Ute
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • I noticed that in Canberra, above all other cities in Australia, Ute drivers had something to say. In particular, this driver's vehicle was a rolling billboard, although he had so many messages, I didn't know what he was really trying to say. This vehicle is called a Ute, which is short for Utility Vehicle. Shorter than a pickup truck, but normally with just as much power, these little car/trucks pack some major towing power and a bed for hauling supplies. In this particular case, the owner was also an activist for several causes. When someone is this passionate on that many topics, then it is best to just exchange pleasantries, because anything more could cause a ruckus. We do encourage you to take the time and read every bumper sticker if you like!

    Local Customs: George Gregan
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • George Gregan is an icon in Australian Rugby. He has played in more international test matches than any other in the world, and has led his professional team, the ACT Brumbies to two Super 12 Championships in 2001 and 2004. He is very well respected as a great leader and a fierce competitor. If you are a fan of rugby, then Canberra is an absolutely fantastic venue to watch the sport, as you can really get right down on the field level. I was about 20 meters away from George on this particular event, and if the match was not about to be started, I likely could have got an autograph!
