I've never found any mention of nudie bars on any of the Australia tourist sites. How do they ever expect to attract tourists? lmao

They don't advertise much for fishing either.. I know there are fish down there! Either you folk are hiding them from the rest of the world or it just isn't a big deal for you Aussie types.

I have never been there, but I heard that it is a nice place to live in (in all the aspects). My application for immigration is being processed by the Australian INS (I do not remember the actual official name of the corresponding Australian office, ?- my immigration attorney knows it for sure ?- so I call it with American name) currently.

Goodness me Steissd! You are considering emigrating without having visited?

I cannot leave my current job for a moment to find time for visiting. If I am absent for more than 2-3 days without being sick or being in active reserve service, I shall be immediately fired and lose income. There is 11 percent unemployment in Israel, and I cannot take a risk. I want to come with enough money to be picky when I search for job in Australia. I guess AU$50,000 is enough for survival on the initial stages of immigrant's life.

From the other side, tourist's impressions differ from these of the resident. I am not searching for beautiful landscapes. Israel does not lack these. I look for the country with relatively stable economy and absence of war, where I can have some hope for decent future in case I am a good employee.

people on guam go quite often to cairns and talk about how clean the place is and how wonderful the people are. i was asked to go on a trip on january 9th 2003 with some friend that work with continental airlines, i can't make that trip. maybe next time. my first time visiting oz was not a good one.

as far as cairns goes, they actively look for tourists from guam and with everyone, and i mean everyone who comes back from cairns with such glowing recommendations, it's a natural spot to go.

Cairns is still the deep north - equates with American deep south.....well, prolly not quite so much - too many tourists and blow-ins, but still....

aaaahhh, Pueo - I did read that before. Just forgot.

The northern Ochers (is that the right term?) seem to have a bit of a redneckness about them - at least from the perspective of some Aussies I've known and read.

Li'l k - I have a step-son in the army as we speak - he was deployed in East Timor, and is a dedicated military fella - nonetheless, he was shocked and horrified by the racism and general horror he has encountered in the military - 'twill be interesting to see how long he lasts - if he ain't killed in Iraq...(she said bitterly...)
