Do Nothing way of Life

I landed in Melbourne, Australia, welcomed not by a single kangaroo, but instead by a customs agent asking, "What are you doing in Australia?" "Vacation," I responded. "Where are you going in Australia?""Up the East Coast," I responded. Again he says, "What are you doing in Australia?" I respond again, "Vacation." "What are you doing on your vacation?" Finally, quick thinking led me to say "Nothing." He let me through. It seemed like I answered correctly-nothing. I'm actually surprised a country like Australia could be productive in anything. I venture to guess that 99.9% of the population in Australia live near a beach or the ocean with a climate better than Florida. People actually move to Florida to do nothing, so just imagine if our whole country lived that way. The beach is such an essential part of an Australian's life that the government invented a paper money that is indestructible to sand and sea! You can't tear the money and if you happen to go swimming in the ocean with a handful of cash, there is a good chance you could use it as a floatation device. So my mission, as set forth by the question of the customs agent, was to do nothing while spending five weeks making my way up the East Coast of Australia.
