A British expat has issued a stern warning to tourists, revealing the top three things they should never do when visiting Australia.
Queensland radio presenter Jordan Grace, known online as That British Girl, took to social media this week to share her experiences of life in Australia.
On Monday, Ms. Grace shared for her hundreds of thousands of TikTok and Instagram followers an entertaining video outlining her top tips for travelers planning to visit the country.
The Sunshine Coast woman’s first warning was for visitors to refrain from complaining about the scorching Australian heat.
British expat and Queensland radio host Jordan Grace shared an entertaining video with her top tips for travelers planning to visit the country.
“Don’t complain about how hot it is,” he said.
‘We all know Australia is hot. It’s half a mile from the surface of the sun, which is why it takes so long to fly here.
She said it wouldn’t ‘go down well’ with the locals if all the tourists complained about the heat.
He jokingly encouraged visitors to “ignore the boob sweat, smile, and carry on.”
Ms Grace said it wouldn’t ‘go well’ with the locals if all the tourists complained about the heat.
“If you’re feeling too hot, just do what we do and hang out in the freezer aisle at supermarkets.”
Ms Grace’s second rule was to never ask where the nearest Starbucks is, explaining that it would be an insult to Australians, who “invented the beloved flat white”.
“Don’t disrespect the great coffee culture here and basically ask for dirty water with sugar,” he said.
Instead, he recommended tourists approach a local Australian to find out where the best coffee in town was.
Ms. Grace warned tourists about the dangers of not swimming between the flags on the patrolled beaches.
Ms. Grace’s third piece of advice was a serious warning about beach safety.
“Don’t swim out of the flags,” he warned.
“The sea in Australia is a beautiful, beautiful beast, but the people who get into the most trouble in the water are tourists.”
He added that lifeguards “aren’t just there to be pretty.”
They are there to help you swim safely. So swim between the flags because you don’t want to get yelled at.
Ms. Grace’s supporters were in full agreement with her last point, with many echoing the importance of swimming between the flags on patrolled beaches.
Surf Life Saving Australia has issued a reminder to people about the dangers of swimming outside of flags, as Australians prepare for the Australia Day holiday on Thursday.
There have been 48 drownings in Australian waterways this summer and most of them have occurred on the coast.
