Australians do NOT tip here. You don't tip for anything. Not for the airport people helping with your bags, not when you go in a restaurant, not for people helping you at a hotel... nothing.

They do it in Kilograms, Kilometers, Meters and Celsius.
*They use celsius for the weather, for cooking, you name it.
*Miles on cars are listed as kilometers and so is the speed.
Our GPS tells us everything in kilometers and meters and even has an Australian accent.

We do it in pounds, inches, miles, and farenheit.

They use military time for all clocks and we use a 12 hour system (whatever thats called).
