I'm sorry you're having so much rain. We're having a lovely day and just got back from my birthday walk. Oh, BTW, we know everyone in OZ doesn't practice extreme sports. Mom's friend lived there for about 10 years. Once a coocaberra (??) pooped on her head, though! It was extreme because she was hosting a big party for her susband's business and she'd just gotten her hair done!

I've just learnt some neat stuff from you that would never make it into a tourist brochure but is so much more interesting for a traveller to know. <br /><br />Lori - you're too kind and exactly what my self-esteem coach ordered. <br />I will become a travel writer the instant someone offers me a job. I shall call my reports The Grumpy Traveller. They will doubtless lead to a book deal and TV series, which will win an Emmy, at which time I will thank you profusely in my acceptance speech. Watch this space. <br /><br />Kristine - what can I say, you're inspiring :) <br /><br />Croc wrestling on Tuesday? That goes to show how little you know about Stryliah. Tuesday is crab racing night during which we can win a lovely meat tray. Saturdays are when we wrestle crocs, usually after tossing a tinnie and before chucking another shrimp on the barbie. <br /><br />There. I'm so glad I've been able to set the record right. <br /><br />Sage - do you have any idea how long it takes us to agree on a trade agreement?!! BTW, the radioman just announced that we're experiencing the mildest start to summer in over 50 years. A top of 19 today with (surprise) some rain.

Well, mostly. <br /><br />So just to be clear... You don't go bungee jumping every weekend? No crocodile wrestling on a Tuesday evening?<br /><br />Oh...<br /><br />For the record, I actually do have family there - the very Brits you mentioned. They mostly live in the Brisbane area.

Nor Brazilians? Are you suggesting the ads and movies and tourist brochures....um....are....um...misleading? Well. I'll just let you know that MY country and its inhabitants are every bit as beautiful as the media shows them to be. Okay, we tend to say 'eh' a lot. And maybe we have our little crime centres and run down neighbourhoods. But at least we know where north is. That's where Santa lives - and he comes to visit us every winter. In the Snow.

Your sacrifice means that millions of us in the Northern hemisphere don't have to face winter for another couple of weeks. Thank you.
