My son and I were supposed visit Aus last summer between semesters at uni. Unfortunately coronavirus has delayed those plans. I did create a thread here asking for some suggestions of suggestions of what Australian radio stations I might want to stream. That thread was removed as not being electronics relevant or whatever. I typically listen to Jonesie and Amanda on WSFM when tinkering on the bench in the evenings. Canada has a strange Canadian content law that favors Canadian artists for airplay. I'm a bit tired of that, and thought I could open my ears to Australian acts. Does Aus have the same kind of regulation? I do find myself enjoying the youtube channels of eevblog and David Tipton. I have caught a couple TV programs like Upright and Squinters. I enjoy the differences in slang. I think Australian culture is very compatible with Canadian culture even if the setting looks very different. |

The main difference seems to be that the values you find in Canada are similar to those in Australia ... about 30 years ago. Many years ago I made a friend in a stranger lined up to pay for petrol. When I heard him speak, I addressed him and said "Your accent..." - his face grimaced - "... isn't American." His eyes lit up as did a smile and he announced "I'm Canadian!". |

They're the default station for radios within my reach. |
