As a fellow Australian, I concur, the only way to go.

as a Euro, roundabouts are second nature to me. Here in the US, it gets a little trickier, because disturbing numbers of people appear to have no idea how they work. Here in Chapel Hill, your average driving test doesn’t even go through a roundabout, yet they’re becoming a common feature. Here’s a bit of Boston for you Ben: There’s a big roundabout (like, big enough that you could forget that you’re on a roundabout, but roundabout rules apply) immediately south of Jamaica Pond in Jamaica Plain. AFAIK, its the single most “fender-bendered” location in the entire state of MA (and that’s saying something!), to the point that they considered removing it. I used to use it regularly in a car, and it was always a bit of a free-for-all, and I saw my share of fender-benders on it - I never had to cycle through it (thank god). I used to commute on a fixie from Brighton to the South End. I must’ve been mental.....😟

I go out of my way in routing through roundabouts
Cars can take the fun out of it, unless I'm driving one

The way I see it, folks rarely stop for stop signs anymore, so roundabouts seem safer, and more fun
