Three quick steps and you're chatting. First, how would you describe yourself?
G'day from the room that's awake while most of the world sleeps. Aussies, Kiwis and anyone else in this part of the globe gather here. Choose the description that fits you first. People will see it beside your nickname, and the following screen uses it for message settings.
The big topics are footy finals, the cricket, the weather and how far everything is from everything else. When things slow down, our free chat rooms have visitors from every continent.
Peak time runs from about 8pm AEST, which is morning in London. On a slow afternoon, the online chat lobby is a good bet.
Chat with Aussies and Kiwis in your own time zone. Australia Chat is for Australians and New Zealanders. Pick a chat name, answer two quick questions and you're in. There's no email, no download and nothing to pay.
Yes. Every room and private message is free.
No. Anyone can join, but most people here are in Australia or New Zealand.

Yes, before you start chatting.
