My boy, have you ever got a treat in store! (-: > BTW, many thanks to > cooker underground travel agency for all tips & tricks. Open source travel? > And i must admit australian wine i tasted were excellent :-) I hope Sydney's water didn't put you off. Perth's is much better (wine-tasters have actually done proper double-blind tests on this, BION) and we can get you fresh rainwater straight off the southern ocean if that is to your taste. (-: Oz is a very special place in many ways. We regularly get Japanese tourists jumping into Perth taxis and asking to be taken to Sydney (about 50 hours' drive at 110km/h including stops for fuel and food but not sleep, I speak from experience) or Broome (only 26 hours drive at 120km/h, almost nonstop, experience again). Rottnest Island, 10km from Fremantle, offers scuba diving trumped only by places like the Great Barrier Reef. Our sunsets are world-class. We can show you sand-dunes in red, white, grey and brown. We don't have fresh wood sticking out of the ground like France does, but there is some fresh wood embedded in the Sydney (Manley) sandstone. We have flora and fauna like no other (six weeks after a good rain in the Pilbara, it becomes a flower shop about a thousand km on a side), and the world's biggest rock. And so on. Where do your interests fall? I'm sure we can find something. (-: Cheers; Leon
