An easy one, but the messed-up scale of the neighbouring countries is offputting.

It’s true that you can’t see electricity, though. Neither electrons in motion (electric current) nor excess charge carriers (static electricity) are visible. Visible sparks are ionised air, not the electricity itself.

Whether you can touch electricity is a bit of a weird question. You can touch an object carrying a static charge, and you can touch a conductor. But are you touching the “electricity”? It’s a weird semantic argument.

That’s abominable, and completely undiscoverable. Touch interfaces have a problem with discoverability in general, but this is really poor UI design.

When I’m dead, don’t bury me at all
Just pickle my bones in alcohol
An amphora of wine at my head and feet
And then I’m sure my bones will keep

The shape of the coast line and the island are the clues.

How about a Tom Collins?

No, it's real. They're beautiful, but they cause a reaction in some people.

Try growing rocoto chillis. They’re pretty well-suited to the Melbourne climate, produce lots of fruit, and keep bearing for years.

Fair warning, it doesn’t accept the country’s official name. You need to use an Anglicisation that hasn’t been accepted for official use for a decade.

Surely you've got a better local pizza shop than Domino's that you can support?

We used to joke it's so when the bouncers throw drunk idiots out at 3AM, they don't get hurt too badly.
