    I like Australia. My perception of Australians had been coloured by the influx we had in London in the late 90s. It just wasn't possible to get a pint without an Australian pulling a handle in those days, and they certainly lived up to the stereotype. The free-fall exchange rate seemed to have them all heading back to the airport. I've visited a couple of times in the last few years and I was surprised to find that at home Australians were rather more refined and conservative. Notably, some of the most beautiful women I've ever seen were to be found there. Manley in Sydney has to be one of the finest places I've been. For balance, the ugliest place I've ever visited was New York. I wasn't expecting that. I saw more things kind to the eye on the train to Heathrow than I did the whole time I was out there.

        You don't need to; somebody's already written it down in the dictionary (next to lots of other words that begin with A).

            I just moved house a couple of weeks ago. Eventually all went well (Oh! the tales I could tell!) and we've unpacked (almost) all the boxes. So now I'm 20 minutes from the golden beaches of the Sunshine Coast, livin' the dream... Then I realised; "Sunshine" has a different meaning here - which also makes the region more alliterative! I shall be referring to it as "The Sunny Coast" from now on.

              I wonder if there is a correlation between the Sunshine Coast and Gosford Girls.

                Nice part of the world.. am lucky enough to get up there at least once a year for our xmas party (my company has an office in maroochy). Have spent some time in Mooloolaba & Maroochydore & Noosa... wouldn't mind exploring some of the countryside too one day.
