Is a 21st birthday a big bday in Australia? Is the legal drinking age 18 everywhere - or it differs by state? What are the age milestones for driving? voting? anything else?

Last Minute

Leaving for Melbourne on Thursday. Any last minute tips or suggestions of things that my parents and I can go to? I don't want to be stuck looking at craft the whole time. :P I need variety.

Factory Farming

So this is more serious. I just looked up pictures of factory farming, because someone, a vegetarian, mentioned them and the suffering. It's pretty horrifying stuff. I was wondering just how common this actually *is* in Australia, as I've never seen it. My dad's side of the family are all farmers and their cattle are out in paddocks with lots of ( Read more... )
