Indeed, at the pier in Lakes Entrance there were many fishing trawlers, which immediately sold fresh fish and shrimp. Almost all vacationers in this place in Victoria could see a boat, many hotels have corners with tables for cutting fish.

Well, where there are fish, there are pelicans.

Smile!

22 Feb 2012 02:08

I read in the local newspaper today about what to do when traveling, and I saw this advice:

Smile. Always smile.

It"ll get you places you wouldn"t believe. From persuading Parisian waiters to speak English to figuring out where the hell you"re supposed to be sitting on that train, a little smile and a good attitude will get you help in no time. NB: There"s an exception to this rule – it"s called Russia. (They"ll think you "re mad.)

In translation:

Smile! Always smile.

This will open up so many new opportunities for you that you never dreamed of. For example, a waiter from Paris suddenly speaks English, or you finally find that fucking seat on the train - just smile a little and act accordingly.

One exception to this rule is Russia. They'll think you're crazy.

A characteristic feature of Australian Aboriginal music is the connection between the content of the song and its modal structure, which differs for hunting, ritual, love and corroboree. Varying the timbre of singing during dancing is achieved by clapping the hands, on the stomach or hips.

Aboriginal people use simple drums as musical instruments; a plank on a rope that makes a buzzing sound when rotated, a nose flute (in Northern Australia). Stones are used as percussion; pieces of wood or boomerangs; animal skins stretched between the knees or on a wooden resonator base. To amplify the sound of the voice, a didgeridoo is used - a pipe made of bamboo or a hollow piece of wood.

The first professional performances: instrumental and choral concerts date back to 1830. The Sydney Philharmonic Society was founded in 1833. The first opera performance took place in Sydney in 1834.

Australia has a long tradition of country music, which has a distinct style from American music. Australian country music is based on folklore traditions Ireland, England, Scotland and other nations. Examples of this include songs late XIX century Botany Bay and "Waltzing with Matilda"; the latter was in contention to become the Australian anthem in 1977. They show strong influences from Celtic ballads and a bit of American country music. Country songs written exclusively on Australian motives have a special name - “bush music”. But from the 1930s, the Australian country scene began to be heavily influenced by Western countries. This direction gave birth to the country's most successful performer in terms of the number of records sold - Slim Dusty. Currently, country crossovers are gaining the most popularity. The influence of country music is felt in the work of such artists as Nick Cave and The John Butler trio. Famous country music songs are Click Go The Shears(“Click the scissors”, folk), Lights on the Hill("Fires on the Hill", 1973), I Honestly Love You(“To be honest, I love you”, 1974) and Not Pretty Enough(“Not Beautiful Enough”, 2002).

In those same years, the career of the Australian genre representative Johnny O'Keefe began.

In 1964, the first generation of performers was replaced by groups inspired by the work of The Beatles. The main impetus for this movement was given by the Australian tour of the famous British group. Among the most popular are the Bee Gees, Jethro Tull and singer Normie Rowe, voted Australia's most popular vocalist. At the same time, New Zealand performers appeared on the Australian stage.

Around the 1970s, another change of generations and styles occurred. One of the important factors that influenced the development of Australian rock was a dispute between copyright holders and commercial radio stations, as a result of which new works by Western performers stopped being broadcast. They were replaced by local groups who not only covered foreign songs, but were also able to develop their own special sound. Among them were AC/DC, Radio Birdman, and among the soloists - Reddy, Helen. Nick Cave entered the post-punk scene as a member of the band The Boys Next Door.

In the 1980s, Australian rock gained independence. New groups that emerged during this time were TISM, Men at Work, Divinyls and Hoodoo Gurus. In the 1990s, Australian groups AC/DC, INXS, The Bad Seeds, and Midnight Oil, which appeared at different times, enjoyed worldwide success.
