  • very cool giveaway

    Who wouldn't want to go to Australia?

    To see Eddie, to fight a kangaroo, to pick up the cool accent :lol: to see the opera house, the great barrier reef, to cuddle a koala, to go on a walkabout deep in the australian wilderness, to view the amazing landscape, to go to the beautiful beaches...so much to see and do there

    some day, i need to go there
    been on my wishlist of places to go to for a LOOOOONG time

    thanks

    Great answers guys (nobody talked about Australian movies though: Muriel's Wedding, Mad Max... yesterday, I watched The Loved Ones, which was really good). :)

    Anyway, 3 more days to go!!! Hurry up!!! :D
  • This is truly an awesome give away.

    Like many others have stated, Australia has been the one place I have always wanted to go. It seems like it has always just been out of reach. When we talk about it it is always, well maybe next year. I have read a lot about it and know a lot about the perils that can befall a person just trying to get from one place to another. It just sounds like an Indiana jones movie every day of life. It is my holy Grail to go there some day. And not just for a week or two but to spend a month or more to explore and see what I can get into.

    Thanks again for this opportunity. It is awesome!

  • As an Aussie i have to say the best thing without a doubt would have to be our Aussie 'spirit' and our willingness to band together and help each other through our recent devistating natural disasters here and in our sister country NZ.....its what makes me proud to be an Aussie!!!


    VERY cool givaway....thanks for the chance :)
    Hold on to the thread....The currents will shift....Glide me towards you....

    I know someday you'll have a beautiful life....
  • Great giveaway Hubert, thanks for the chance!!! I've always wanted to go to Australia because anyone I've ever talked to who's been there has said it's one of if not the most beautiful places they've ever been to. It's probably the only place I'd get on an 18 hour flight for :D

    What a great giveaway!!

    I'd love to go to Australia to check out the landscape. My sister travelled through there for a month and told me about some of the awesome places she visited. And of course...Sydney looks absolutely awesome in the summer.

    Thanks!

    Australia is a BEAUTIFUL country. For me, it's the diversity of the country. It's the scenery that takes your breath away.
    Standing on a deserted beach looking at the ocean - the blue and turquoise water, the sound of the waves hitting the sand, the smell of the salt. The early morning fog over the hills or mountains - the absolute silence, and the chill you feel on your face as you watch the sun rise and change the colour of the landscape. The complete red of the desert and outback, juxtaposed against the brown green of the shrubs, and the heat you can feel as you breathe.

    I love the smells and the sounds and the colours that I see. When you drive down a country road and the land opens up before you, and you see the clouds against a blue sky and the shadows on the mountains it creates. It makes you feel alive. It makes you want to breathe in as much of the pureness as you can.

    Sometimes in winter, it will be so cold, yet you go outside, and the sun is shining, but it hurts in your nose and throat with every breath you take in. But the air is so crisp and clear that you just HAVE to be in it.

    I love walking through the bush, and hearing the sound of your footfalls crunching the dried gum leaves on the ground, and seeing a small bush mouse out of the corner of your eye. I love the smell of eucalyptus. I love the sound of magpies warbling in the morning. I love seeing a kangaroo raise it's head to you as you drive past, with no fear in it's eyes.

    I love a summer storm in far north Queensland, when the rain is so warm you could shower in it, and it comes down so hard. I love the thunder clouds on the horizon.

    I love the smell of fresh cut grass on a Sunday morning, and the smell of the rain right before it hits on a hot summer night. I love the sound of the rain on a tin roof in front of an open fire in the middle of the bush. I love camping near a quiet stream where it's so quiet you can hear the wombats and koalas grunting.

    I love being an Australian. I could probably write for days about all the little things I love, but it boils down to loving my country. The landscape has the power to bring me to tears, or make me sigh with absolute joy at seeing something so pure and clean. I don't know how else to try and make other people, especially people who have never been here, see the beauty that is the diversity and majesty of Australia.
  • Great giveaway buddy, I 've always fancied going to Australia ever since watching Billy Connellys world tour of Australia series a few years ago... And to see pj or Eddie under the sun would be awesome!! Thanks again for the chance!
