It all starts with driving on the left side of the road, while sitting in the drivers seat on the right hand side of the car.
If you're like me you have to constantly remember to walk to the left on public walkways, escalators, stairs. There are even signs on the street corners in the CBD reminding you to look left.
I never even gave escalators a second thought until I started to get on the wrong side!
While I know I need to keep left, it is easier said than done and I have to keep saying to myself "Keep left, keep left, keep left"

Australian dollars (AUD) are all different colours!
The lowest denomination dollar bill note is $5.00 and it's purple
The $10.00 note is blue
The $20.00 note is orange
The $50.00 note is dark yellow
and the $100.00 note is green
Unfortunetly I don't know the colours of the notes over $100, but I bet they sure are pretty.
Coins come in the denominations of 5, 10, 20, and 50 cent pieces (silver), followed by gold $1.00 coins and $2.00 coins. 1 cent coins no longer exist and were phased out about 10 years ago.
