si tu veux rencontrer des francais, tu peux aller a l alliance francaise, tu as raison, il est tres difficile (en dehors des touristes, ) de rencontrer des gens qui parlent francais en australie.
if you would like to meet french or french speaking people, you can always meet them at the french alliance. Australians in general are not interested in learning foreign languages, but there are always exception. After living in australia for 18 years, i must admit it, australia is a friendly country.
