Two years ago I went on the Term III trip to the UK. We stayed at a college in London and took day trips all over the UK. While in Australia I have noticed that things here are very similar to England. It is probably because Australia started as a English colony which had a lot of influence in its development. Both places drive on the opposite side of the road as America, the Queen is on the Australian currency, and a lot of the words, sayings and signs are the same as England. When I first arrived in Sydney I almost felt like I was back in England for a bit. I also thing the Australian and British accents are very similar and sometimes have a hard time distinguishing between them.
