Peter,

I can't fathom all the dis-information being spread about your motherland.

It is simple!

1. You are all decendants of the worst criminals the UK had to offer!
2. You all chase snakes and crocs and carry a large knife on your hip!
3. You don't know that "prawns" are really shrimp!
4. Foster's is the adult beverage of choice!

See? SOME of us know about Australia! (devil)

Peter,

We are planning a 3 week trip next June. My impression is that the people and standard of living is much like the US, I believe both are liberated British colonies. I assume the coast is the most populated, semi tropical while the interior is more like an arid desert. And the country is big.

Hi Mikey,

Youll be suprised at how dry the country is. The east coast is quite green and the North semi tropical, youll love it.

Peter

, John Lennon had died and she wrote me a letter and said, I don't know if you get the news there but John Lennon died.



John Lennon did NOT die. He was brutally murdered in cold blood by an insane fan on the cold streets of new york.

Interstingly enough, in an early interview when the Beatles still existed, John Lennon was asked how he thought he would die. His response? " I will probably be killed by a crazed fan".........

Several years ago, while serving as President of my Rotary club (Apple Valley, the club that included among its members Roy Rogers and Dale Evans), we were honored to have a Group Study Exchange team from Australia visit us. A GSE team generally has six (6) members, only one of which is a Rotarian. The others are selected from different fields of endeavor. Their visit was, and remains, one of the highlights of my presidency.


Ed, I KNEW there was something I liked about you besides Sharon.

I didn't know you were in Rotary!!! Way cool. So am I!!

What is our standard of living?


As in most of the world it would depend on your level of income and whether you have a class structure, but I would suspect a moderately high standard of living.
