lanetomlane Posted March 26, 2017 Share #262 Posted March 26, 2017 Having done some scouting, I can confirm that everything is the same in this respect; to compensate for the other hemisphere, motorcars are simply driven on the other side. I remember this effect from RSA and Botswana ( ). I'm sure you will manage, though I have also trouble to find Polaris in the night sky. There is a cross for compensation, though ( ) Stefan Maybe for you Stefan, but not for us. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StS Posted March 26, 2017 Share #263 Posted March 26, 2017 I'm quite fond of my new theory and conclude rather, that you are by mistake in the wrong hemisphere Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandokan Posted March 26, 2017 Share #264 Posted March 26, 2017 Just for once and all .... driving on the right is the wrong way . The Greeks and Romans marched on the left. Austria Hungarian empire was on the left of the road. French aristocrats drove their coaches on the left but as the peasants walked on the right, after the revolution, all traffic went to the right. Many countries in Europe switched to the right side of the road in the 20th century ... only the islands are left.

Today, Melbourne drivers still use that same method of attack! Most lethal in the world, IMO. Except perhaps for the 'Taswegians'. Maybe it has something tyo do with Latitude.

lanetomlane Posted March 27, 2017 Share #269 Posted March 27, 2017 Well that's the long flight over, we're now in Singapore after 12:45 from London. Board in 45 minutes for the short hop (7:45) to Melbourne. See you all down-under. Cheers, Tom Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanetomlane Posted March 27, 2017 Share #271 Posted March 27, 2017 The Rose & Crown Pub is on the left side of the road so it makes sense to drive on the left! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share #272 Posted March 28, 2017 Tom, remember, we are not just upside down,we also go the other way. That means the pub is on the other side! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StS Posted March 28, 2017 Share #273 Posted March 28, 2017 I would say I'm flexible, as long I get a RHD car in LHT and reciprocally. Apologies for adding more clichés, I found this squatter in the bathroom this morning. Since I've been advised to look out for the small ones, this one is probably harmless (I added an AUD coin for scale), however I still considered the safety catch to be off. Should I find a shark or crocodile in the bathtub, I'll have a word with the manager. Please also note the special drawing of this glass Stefan Welcome, dear visitor!

StS Posted March 28, 2017 Share #274 Posted March 28, 2017 ...I have also a picture of an Australian Copperhead and an Australian Magpie available but posted them in the appropriate section. Despite all my banter about the Australian fauna, it should not be surprising, that most lethal accidents happen due to horses and cows...

lanetomlane Posted March 28, 2017 Share #275 Posted March 28, 2017 Just arrived into Melbourne and had my first VB in a couple of years.
