a bit off topic...aussie bank machines

Hey All,

I'm just wondering how accessible bank machines are in Australia? If
it's anything like Canada, every cornerstore, bar and restaurant has
it's own bank machine (where you have to pay an extra fee on top of the
regular bank fee). Or of course, you can always just pay with your
debit card right at the cashier.

THanks

I suppose that means ATM access is on the RHS of the vehicle, eh?

It doesn't matter as you're not supposed to drive on the pavement! :-)

Here in Canada we drive on pavement. In fact our main ring road here is totally
made of pavement. Most of the Interstate highways in the USA are also made of
pavement.

What do you suggest we drive on?

You're right, ATM machines are everywhere here in Australia, bars,
servo's,
pubs, clubs, street corners, you name it, just as in Canada and USA.

In fact you'll find Australia more like the USA and Canada than the USA
and
Canada. The only major difference here is we drive on the left side of the
road.

Assuming this is a serious question, "pavement" in Australia means almost
exclusively paved sidewalks. (And "sidewalks" are in fact footpaths, and
pavement is tarmac, and gasoline is petrol).

But at least we don't speak bloody frog here.

As Peter explained, I was 'speaking' civilized English! :-)

Perhaps you guys should close your border and go back to the mother
tongue? Apparently the influence from your 'neighbours' is all but
positive! :-)

Sorry mate, you picked on one thing that we don't have here in Oz and that's
drive-in ATM machines. There's drive in Maccas and Burger King but I can't
remember ever seeing a bank with a drive-in teller machine. So I hate to say
this, but you'll have to park and get out of your car to get cash.

Cheers
