When is this Oz Gathering supposed to take place? c.i.
JD, March AFB is close to Riverside, CA, not Sacramento. You might be thinking of Mather or Travis. c.i.
JD, The reason I know this is 1) I was born and reared in Sacramento, and 2) I flew from Walker AFB in New Mexico to March AFB in Riverside on a B29 back in the late fifties. Now, that was a thrill. c.i.
When you guys make up your mind on 1) dates, 2) place - Sydney, Cairns, or Adelaide, and 3) who's place we're staying at, please let us know. LOL c.i.
Cocoa Beach, FL is a nice place to visit.
So I hear.
i vote for cairns, the people from guam who travel there say wonderful things about cairns. the mayor of cairns comes to guam to promote cairns. don't believe we've had any other mayors from oz come here to promote travel.
btw, dlowan will say evil things about cairns, just don't listen
OOPs,
beg pardons! - posted to the wrong thread!
pueo, Cairns is a good choice. People can go to the Rain Forest and the Great Barrier Reef from Cairns. The Kuranda Train Ride/SkyRide is also a tourist favorite as is the Aboriginal Cultural Center. I'm game. c.i.
This was Joanne Dorel's suggestion. We're all sitting here waiting for her to volunteer more.
I think anyone's trip should include at least Sydney and Cairns, for the reef - it's a fair way for most to come (except the evil owl!). Then the boldest and bravest can decide if thet are bold and/or brave enough to go to Melbourne and / or Adelaide. (not to mention having the funds!)
Wuldn't mind a side trip to Melbun.
Adelaide is now a toss-up. See the following article. c.i.
Special Report
The Big Pong Down Under
(ADELAIDE, Australia, Feb. 14, 2003) -- Fifteen months after Adelaide signed a contract turning over its waterworks to a private consortium controlled by Thames Water and Vivendi, the city was engulfed in a powerful sewage smell, which became known as "the big pong."

Hey, pueo I guess we need to set a date for this gathering. What is best for everyone.
