<p>Here are some of the classics:</p>
<p>+ Can I catch a train from Fiji to New Zealand?</p>
<p>+ What type of car is needed to drive from the Great Barrier Reef to Perth?</p>
<p>+ &#8220;I&#8217;m doing a crossword at the moment and need your help. What is the name of that really tall building in the Gold Coast?&#8221;</p>
<p>+  &#8220;Why are Australian stop signs shaped like hexagons?&#8221;</p>
<p>+ &#8220;How many cartons of cigarettes can we take on our driving holiday to Queensland?&#8221;</p>
<p>+ &#8220;What passport would I need to visit Melbourne from Queensland?&#8221;</p>
<p>+ &#8220;I know it&#8217;s a long flight but how is it that I take off at 10am in Sydney and land at 10am in Vancouver on the same day? How is that possible?&#8221;</p>
<p>+ &#8220;Can you get Australian money out of ATMs overseas?&#8221;</p>
