Pros: Beautiful country, fun people, lots of attractions
Cons: Sometimes their slang can confuse you! :)
Review Topic: Overview
When I first ventured to Australia in 1995, I couldn't wait to bask in the glow of a new and fascinating culture -- which I did -- but I didn't realize I would be learning a whole new vocabulary as well!...

Pros: read on
Cons: flight is long and expensive
Australia.
Even the name of the country is cool. I had the great opportunity to live down under for 5 months. If you ever have the chance to spend a good chunk of time, to live in Australia, I highly highly highly recommend it. If you're in...

Pros: Rapid change of choice
Cons: nil
Are words important? Not really. What about labels? You bet your sweet bippy they are!
Why is it that white Caucasian people refer to themselves as of a certain nationality unyet a non white person is labelled as being of a Tribe? Well it all...

Cons: none
Review Topic: Overview
What Queen, I hear you ask. Well it usually comes as a surprise to most people of the planet to learn that Australia has a Queen - not the Queen of England, but the Queen of Australia.
This has...

Pros: Sydney, Port Douglas, Wild Life, food, people
Cons: cost, Cairns
Anybody interested in a relaxing vacation and enjoys the beauty of nature must visit the East of Australia. I have been there twice and although I was too young on my first trip for me to remember it now I remember the second one vividly. We went in...

Pros: unusual, unique
Cons: none
A true but slightly irreverent view of some of the unique Australian animals.
The PLATYPUS and EMU
The first unique animal we will deal with is the Platypus.
The correct pronunciation is PLAT - EE - PUSSE

Pros: So much to see, from desert to rain forest to fabulous cities!
Cons: A long trip to get there!
Australia, that far away continent, so many of us dream about it and hope to get there some day. But what do we really know about it? Putting it into simple terms, most of us probably think of it as follows:
A - for Adventure;
U - for...

Pros: Unusual, out-of-the-way place
Cons: Tough to find and get there
Australia's known for loads of things, but one I will never forget. I was traveling during April around the east coast of the country by car and someone mentioned to me a place called Pebbly Beach, somewhere in between Sydney and Melbourne.
I...

Pros: space
Cons: none
Time for another drive -this time the West Coast; Adelaide to Darwin via Perth
And away we go, as Jackie Gleeson used to say. Since we decided to make this trip some two weeks ago, we have all been practicing bladder control, I hope,...

by NailsB , Sep 09 '00
Pros: People, attitudes, clean, safe, adventurous spirit
Cons: Look first to the RIGHT before crossing the street!
They call their continent-country "Oz" and it really seems like the one Judy Garland sang about. Still young, dynamic, friendly, outgoing, clean, and a wide range of prices/experiences for all tastes. Most Ozzies are more laid back than...

Pros: open spaces
Cons: nil
Review Topic: Overview
For vacations, as in the U.S., distance versus time available is the main enemy. Unless you want to be busier than a bricklayer in Beirut, it is simply not possible to see these countries in a month, or...

Pros: So diverse, (it is the size of Europe after all), something for everyone!
Cons: A bit culturally backward at times, but it's part of the charm!
I got to WA in the latter half of my trip around Oz and New Zealand. I'd already done the crazy East coast, explored metropolitan Sydney and Melbourne, and done all the touristy bits up the middle including Uluru, (Ayer's rock) and the Kakadu National...

Cons: none
I know, I know, you want the sex first - well you just have to wait a minute.
THE EVENT BELOW ATTRACTS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF TOURISTS, MANY FROM OVERSEAS.
I must say I hate fishing - its boring with a capital B. This has...

Pros: Sheer talent
Cons: not one
If in the unlikely event you find this epistle not up to my usual standard, it is all the fault of fellow epinionator Nick Peters, known commonly as NFP.
Now Nick is an American but it's not his fault - it was just an accident of...
