Ask a lot of questions about Austria.

Stick them on a ramshackle fishing boat, all of them, and cast them off into the Indian Ocean I say. Put the combined cast of Neighbours and Home and Away onboard too and watch it sink while Harold Bishop plays the last stand on his trombone.

Just so you know, my grandparents visited there in the 70’s and brought me a boomerang (I still have it if you’d like to borrow it) and the company that hosts villiersterrace.com is based in Australia so I am a bit of an expert myself.

Everyone else should list their Australian qualifications so oddbunny knows for sure that we are earnest in our advice.

I'd like to borrow it please. Throw it to me, here it comes... of it's gone back to you. Try again. Throw it... oh, it's gone back to you. Try again... throw it.... oh, it's gone back to you. Try again...

Get some of these gravity boots and use them once a day for 15 minutes at a time until your trip or you will have a headache the whole time you are there.

Hmm. My mother-in-law visited for a few weeks back in the 90s and gave us a nice boomerang, as well. And a book about a kangaroo playing a didgeridoo. She did like visiting the outback, however.

I would suggest you fill your iPod with Men at Work, INXS, and Midnight Oil. That's the best advice I have for you. :(

Some days it sure does pay to be a bunnymen fan.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

I agree. As I reflect on my cultural experiences with that island thing on the underside of the Earth, I realized my great cultural sensitivity for the aboriginal blue eyed blond haired people that inhabit this strange and mystical land often referred to as "here" by the people who live there.

I used to live in the same half of the world as Australia. But I was on top.

I have a web page also with a server or provider in Australia.

I have worked and traveled with people from Australia. (I didn't really like them, but I was able to pretend I did.)

My Australian accent sounds kind of like an Australian accent.

My father once had a neighbor who was Australian.

I really really really like INXS. (I will admit I do not like the Beds Are Burning Band or the Men At Work band.)

I ate at Outback Steakhouse once.

I know what a didgeridoo is.

Sometimes I go walkabout.

If I can help in anyway, let me know.
