Title: Aussie girls...stand and be counted! Huzzah!!
Post by: Ms Grace on January 02, 2014, 04:55:55 PM
Hey!
There seem to be a few Aussie girls on this forum... I'm one and if you are too why not add your name to this thread. You don't have to indicate where in this great big overbaked continent you are, but if you do feel comfortable with adding your state/territory, region/city that would be cool.  :)

I'm in Sydney, NSW...

Hi MsGrace;

I am living in Victoria, south of Melbourne. I am here generally in the Summer & Autumn months and then in the United Kingdom for the northern hemisphere summer.

Watching the water going down the sink gets a bit confusing, so are the jibes from friends in the UK that tell me I sound like an Australian and friends in Oz that tell me I sound like a Pom!

I'm assuming that this is Australian slang for the British? What's the common slang term for Canadians? Also, and pardon if this is an embarrassing question to ask, how do Australian generally perceive the Canadian accent and dialect? Always curious.

Yeah, don't know where Pom comes from but it's a kind of "friendly" jibe. I think it applies uniquely to English, not Scots or Welsh. Some English people in Australia embrace it, others loathe it.

To be honest the Canadian accent sounds a lot like certain American accents. But I've long since learned that Canadians hate being asked, "so which part of the States do you come from?" I worked with a Canadian woman for a number of years and because of that I've learned how to differentiate Canadian accents from the American and usually get it right most of the time. Although last year a met a young woman from Quebec - she sounded French to me! :laugh: She was in Australia to improve her English.

Kia Ora,

::) Now lets see, I was born in the UK to a Jamaican Father and English mother, I moved to Oz (Sydney) in 1969 spent around 17 years all up in Oz(travelling back and forth to Europe etc), during which time I became a Aussie citizen...Then in 1986 I moved to Aotearoa (NZ) where I have a permanent resident status but still maintain an Aussie citizenship....
(even though I haven't been back there)...

So this would make me an "Afro-Saxon-Aussie-Kiwi"

pommy - Disparaging. (in Australia and New Zealand)
a British person, especially one who is a recent immigrant.
Also, pom·mie, pom.

Origin:
1910–15;  origin obscure; corroborating evidence for any of the numerous fanciful etymologies proposed for the word is so far lacking

Kia Ora Jamie,

The most common belief of the origin is Prisoner Of Mother England  P.O.M.E
Remember back in the day England used to ship the convicts to the colonies ( However at first the "undesirables" were shipped of to the Americas but after the war of independance, Oz was used)

The U.S. state of Georgia was founded as a "trustee colony" for the "worthy poor" in 1732.  I think the weather was better than in Canada.  Besides, in those days (early 1700s), much of Canada was French.

Since we're talking about convict transportation, it occurred to me a while back that Pride & Prejudice was set around the time all of that was happening. You'd never know it from reading the book though, the gentry and well to do would never bother themselves with such rabble. So that means, hypothetically, that while Darcy and his dirty rich mob were poncing around their mansions my 17 year old great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandmother was being transported to Australia - not for being a prostitute (which she was!) but for rolling some well to do john/client for his wallet and watch. Go grandma! (She was pardoned/released after a few years, married, widowed, remarried and had about 10 kids!)

Sadly, our TV shows often do leave a lot to be desired. Even so we can surprise ourselves from time to time with a quality show. But you don't have to watch our stuff even if you live here, other than Doctor Who, my preference is for US scifi and fantasy and cop shows! I'm very unAustralian it would seem.

No offense to any Québécoises who might be hanging around here but they definitely do not sound French... :)  Actually many Québec films (often excellent BTW) are shown with subtitles in France. I myself can handle any of the regional accents I have so far encountered in France, Belgium & Switzerland but during a couple of business trips to Montréal last summer, which involved meeting a few true blooded natives, I litterally couldn't understand a word.

For those who are up to it (VM for example???), here is some Québec French (BTW, don't forget your Credit Cards  ;))

American Independence: 1776   With great help from vengeful French who actually got their act together for a few years before chopping all their officers heads off during the revolution (1789)

Australian Penal Transportation: 1788–1868 With a great contribution from the Irish , who were no longer getting much help from the French , thus explaining the number of lily white (Pink?  ;)) skinned Australians you run into...

England 2-9 at the moment.
Trying to be 3-9


Most here would have no idea about it.

Hi everyone in Australia.

My name is Tiffany. I am new here. Be sure to read my introduction post in Introductions section.

Welcome to Susan's Tiffany great to see you here.
You will have a good list of all us in OZ which might be helpful

I know that there are a few more here who have not thrown their Bra or speedos in to be counted yet.

How many times did you count Cindy? She's worth at least 10 for SA.

  • New South Wales - 7 (5 in Sydney)

  • Victoria - 3 (2 in Melbourne)
  • Tasmania - 1
  • Western Australia - 1
  • ACT/Canberra - 1
  • New Zealand/Kiwi cousins - 2

Cool!

Wow! Considering NSW and Sydney are... four? times bigger than SA and Adelaide, SA is really batting above the average!
At risk of restarting the last topic about Adelaide, maybe there really IS something in the water. Maybe we're/they're just vocal :)

I'm assuming that this is Australian slang for the British? What's the common slang term for Canadians? Also, and pardon if this is an embarrassing question to ask, how do Australian generally perceive the Canadian accent and dialect? Always curious.

My wife has been here 23 years, her friends in Vancouver thinks she speaks with an Australian accent, a lot of people here think she is from Ireland :icon_confused:

Lot's of canucks here, their accents imho tends to be much softer than the US and I won't even mention 'hey'.  :)

I was born in Adelaide, does that count? My parents moved to Canberra when I was 5. Most people my age living in Canberra came from interstate as most of the Government departments were relocated here in the fifties and sixties. 

I must admit I still regard myself as South Australian and my mother who hasn't lived in Western Australia for 72 years still regards herself as one!

To all those Aussie girls out there who have not joined up to Susan's and lurk in the shaddows, don't be shy and take a deep breath, let us know you're out there. Personally it did take some courage but it was the best thing I have ever done.
There is a lot of support out there for you, so come one come all.

Well, for those who are new to Sydney or are new to the community; perhaps thinking of coming out, or whatever. There is a regular dinner held each fortnight at the 5 Dock RSL Club, at which some of Susan's family attend.
The club is very safe, with local parking and transport. Come join us in how ever you wish to present. PM me if you want further detail. The next dinner will be January 16 at 7:00pm.

I know the following information will really be totally meaningless - but I just played around with the statistics you collected here.
With these figures just for fun -
Rate of "Aussie girls" per capita of States-
Ranking most to least- (approx. only) -
Tasmania - 1 in 1/2 million
NSW - 1 in 1 million
Vic - 1 in 1.4 million
WA - 1 in 2.5 million
Qld - 1 in 4.6 million
Tassie "wins" unless more of our sisters own up!

What the numbers are telling me is that we have quite a few members of our community who are not being reached.

The most recent stats I have seen put self-identified transgendered persons at 0.3% of the general population - or roughly 1 in every 333 persons.

Your calculations, above, address only MtF, so let's say, in absolute terms, 1 out of every 650 persons (w.a.g.).  And we know that not all of our Aussie girls log in every day.

Just the same, let's get to work on outreach ladies.  You are our most active standard bearers!

Keep your eyes open for your sisters locally (sorry about that Jenny07).

We need the two heads and according to you the extra fingers to do the work of two people to keep the "mainlanders" away - we want to keep our piece of paradise to ourselves!

Hi Ms Grace
We also have jay-Bird in Melbourne, although she hasn't been on the board for a few months now. I had a great evening with her in Melbourne and she has transitioned to Full time and looks absolutely fabulous.

PS I also had a great night out with Catherine at the Kirribilli Club in Sydney on one of my rare trips up their. Another amazing and beautiful woman (I am so glad you are safely back from your US experiences) and I also had a great day with Cindy and rides in her beautiful sports car in Adelaide....Purr!!

Is there anyone in Canberra? As that's one place I seem to get to reasonably often.

Seriously people we should have a get together and have an Aussie girl barbie, Catherine works with male strippers in the Cross (she told me she as a g-string adjuster whatever that is) so she can bring along the entertainment.

I of course will provide the cultural focus!

I'd be happy to host a get together but my place is kinda small. No back yard. No balcony. No veranda. No barbie. No Jacaranda trees. Quite frankly its pretty un-Australian.

Hi Megants;
The Way Out Club - what a great night out. I commute (once a year between my house in Australia - Victoria) and my house in the UK (Devon - near Padma) and when in the UK I always try to get up to the Way Out Club at least for two weekends. I generally leave the house in Exeter as Judith travelling to Paddington the  train from Exeter and still in a hotel close to the Club near Tower Bridge and then spend Saturday shopping bin Selfridges, Debenhams, Harrods etc and taking tea at Fortum & Masons.  Normally coming back with lots of new clothes.

Hello Judith,

I've gone to the woc several times with Jodie from the Boudoir and stayed at the Chamberlain, great fun, although some of the goings on are a little questionable!
I enjoyed Sparkle but it was a bit too warm, says one who is sweltering now!  Miss TV Scotland was really good, I'd like to go back this year but the way the Aussie $ is going, I probably won't.  Sorry for being off topic, but I can't send pms yet.

Sounds like you have a nice balance, I'm guessing summer there and summer here?

Didn't even know of this thread when I first joined up a few months ago.

Sydneysider here, born here, although have spent time living near Newcastle, living in Lismore (and attending university there), and time in Adelaide...but back in Sydney since the mid 2000's. Plus every year I spend a week up on the Gold Coast, and would move there permanently if I had the money.

Grace, you better do an update on the tally.

And as for the Five Dock RSL...never been there, but live within easy travelling distance

In Australia? Heck no. That was back when I was dating an Australian girl, but our relationship ended really badly. Now I'd feel paranoid that she would hunt me down and murder me in my sleep if I were anywhere on the same continent. :P

Well, it wasn't exactly the breakup itself... Looking back on it now, the relationship was doomed from the beginning and I should have known better. But we just stayed together, and things got worse and worse and worse and worse. We were both so desperately lonely. I think we got far too attached to each other before we really knew each other, and the more we got to know each other, the more we found out our views on... well, pretty much everything, were at odds.

So... that's the lesson here, for anyone who is reading. Don't invest all your emotions in someone you don't know very well just because you hit it off initially.

There are lots of lessons I learned from that relationship, actually. Lots of mistakes I will never repeat. But anyway...

Sorry to derail the thread a bit with my nonsense. Back to the Aussie girls!

Got to be fair, There are folks like this in many other counties as well  :( I'm not getting political or anything but maybe the cure for this is to round em all up and use them to do a spot of wildlife preservation. We could start a new international trade in it. I'm sure the Crocs and Sharks would welcome the free food  ;D

Hola!
One more for Perth, NOR.
I've been lurking for a couple of months and avidly reading everything I can point the mouse at, but I'm still a little shy. Some of you have already achieved the status of celebrities in my eyes, so I'm a little daunted at the prospect of conversing with y'all. I suppose that may be considered a little strange.
when I first started looking I was AMAZED at how much bigger this community was than I had expected. Turns out I'm not quite as special as I thought  ;D

Also good to see some humour mixed in amongst it all  :laugh:

Welcome from a rather humid and weather battered Adelaide
Its hot and humid here to but we havent had any descent storms here for a while only 10minuts of rain here and there.

Cheers Tracy

We got wiped again last night. Power only came back on a few hours ago. I had 60mm of rain overnight, but of course I slept peacefully through it :laugh:

Sorry girls,

I forgot to check this thread! Hi to Veronica, Liz and Ev. Great to see more Aussies here as I haven't found anything like this site before! So good to know others understand our situation!
