Hey Hewey!
When I was in the navy, we were lucky enough to spend a few weekends in Perth, and a few more in Darwin. In Darwin, we noticed the pubs were crowded in the early afternoon on weekdays with working folks, and some of the locals told us that they like to work thru lunch and take a long break at the end of the work day which included drinking beer at the local pubs over a late lunch. Then they would just go back to the office, tidy up a few things and head home! Were they pulling my leg? Or does that sound familier over Sydney way?
I do know that I never met more friendly folks anywhere I have traveled, they went out of thier way to make us feel welcome.
