i have arrived in Oz
after crossing the mightily large sea
and like a blind mans gauze
i take in the scene with glee
a strange encounter tis
this island swallowed me whole
and of my wanderings quiz
where yet is the goal

Hi there! So, you're in my old stomping ground 'down under' are you? They're a weird mob ya know. Getting some warm weather there too I'd think. What city are you in?
Have fun in the sun,

Hi Elazar~
First, I was born there (Sydney NSW). Raised in the western plains of NSW, sheep and wheat farming country. Rode horses, mustered sheep with my father, raised some orphaned kangaroos; back to urban 'civilization', Sydney, (with my pony) when I was 10. Moved to the US in '95.
Sydney is really the best city in Oz. I've only been to Melbourne once, for a dog show. Queensland's not much till you get to Cairns, (the tropics) then it's really beautiful. The Islands off the coast are a must-see, the Great Barrier Reef etc. The commercially run islands are the best, e.g. Lindeman and Hayman. The ones run by the Queensland tourist department are not 'tourist friendly', if you get my drift, i.e. they don't give a s#**!
Hope you get a chance to see Sydney, and the Barrier Reef; you'll love it. Here's a tip: Melbournites don't like Sydney and vice versa, so don't let anyone down there tell you Sydney isn't better than Melbourne (they're just jealous, see).
Have a Violet Crumble Bar, and think of me,

Isobel is asking for tips from people who've been to Oz. Perhaps you could give her your impressions as a 'newcomer' there.

Hello Elazer,
Here I am. Makera has kindly given me some "tourist advice" on another thread. If you have some good tips or see something particularly striking just let me know. Thanks.
