And Welcome! Hope you find your time here a blessing.
When you chuck a youie you do a u-turn. Bikkies are biskuits and chewies are sweet or chewing gum. And tomorrow arvo is tomorrow afternoon. Smoko is tea time😉

There are many peeps from Australia on this site so you should feel right at home. I am sure that there will be many like-minded Christians to possibly connect with. Faith can indeed facilitating the survival of all challenges and eventually allow you to thrive. Glad to have you as part of our community. Welcome to CC.
Thank you very much tourist. I figured I'd try and find a place where I could connect with other Christian since I don't really get to do that much in real life these days.

This is an excellent place to connect with other Christians. In fact, I married one of them who is also a member of this site. Connections. :)

😂smoko is what we call tea time. You don’t have to be a smoker to have smoko. And you can make a u-turn any time, any where😉
I was reasonably certain that smoko wasn't referencing smoking. :) My first impression was that smoko was referring to cooking food outside on the patio. Now I feel like throwing another shrimp on the barbie. That's an Australian term I believe. Or may from New Zeeland. I forget. :)

Jip, that is from Aus. The funny thing is I am actually originally a South African so I've learnt to speak the "Aussie" lingo. Though I still struggle with the "barbie" because to me it's a braai. A barbie is some doll I used to play with when I was a kid :)

I am going to incorporate "Jip" and possibly 'braai' in my vehicular. Or is that vernacular. Obviously, I'm a little lite on the lingo.

Well you can I corporate your braai into your vehicular if you really want to but the jip would have to got to the vernacular I’d say😂

Years ago I spoke with a SA that lived in Aus on this site. Didn't expect to see that again.
Welcome.
