I got some old Rosetta Stone software that teaches how to speak Australian. As soon as I learn enough of the language to get by and avoid any awkwardness, I might consider a trip down there! It's an interesting culture! Did you know that the devices they use to cook shrimp are named after a ridiculous anatomically incorrect, yet very famous, American doll made by Mattel? It's true! Also all the Europeans and their descendants go on the dole and spend all their free time surfing and drinking, while the indigenous people just drink. Fascinating place! They also have spiders there that are so deadly, they can kill you just by looking at you! Australians all carry very large knives and wear hats that look like American cowboy hats that have been left out in the weather for several months! I've been researching all I can about Australia and it's culture, so if you have any more questions about it, feel free to ask.
