Australia is my love!

Melbourne. Sydney. Canberra. Weston. Do I want to go?!? It would be a dream come true. To see the sights I've visited on-line, to meet the people who have been so gracious to me, to go to a footy game and be part of Tiger Land ... but most of all to spend time with Australians doing those things that Aussie families do day in/day out.

Do I want to go? Yes please.

Listed below are links to Aussie travel sites I've visited. Descriptions shown are tag lines from the sites themselves when I last visited them in June 2004.
