Handover for our new build is in the first two weeks of June, couple of issues… our entire yard is clay and is quite muddy, slippery, and sticky when wet.

We also have a dog who will need to regularly go outside to go potty and I REALLY don’t want dirt and mud all over our brand new house.

What precautions should I take if I’m going to lay grass during winter?

I’m looking at Sir Walter Buffalo because I’ve heard it’s the preferred for homes with furry things that like to run laps around the yard. Is this a good choice?

Edit: based in regional VIC

For a bit of background, I’m American but I’ve lived in Australia for going on 5 years and I’ve noticed this happens quite regularly and I’ve never noticed it back in America. People generally don’t use their phone aside of texting at restaurants.

I frequent a local Vietnamese restaurant, without fail every single time there’s a person either waiting for takeout/sat down eating who makes a phone call/watch videos full volume in the restaurant. I think it’s important to note, that it’s Australians and others.

I would consider this to be inappropriate behavior for people visiting restaurants even if they are sit down/take out restaurants.

Is this normal for everyone here? Is it a cultural thing? It’s not normal in America, but is it normal here?
