... hemisphere to be lit by hydro-electric power; first x-ray photographs; first mall (1975) etc etc etc I love the following quote I found on Lonely Planet, “Like most Tasmanian towns, early Launceston was anything but refined. When the Reverend Horton visited in 1822, he wrote to his superiors: 'The wickedness of the people of Launceston exceeds all description. If you could witness the ignorance, blasphemy, drunkenness, adultery and vice of every description, you ...

... for the confusion. I got an email a few days later from the Sergeant saying that a Canadian licence (or any valid foreign licence) is indeed fully legitimate and valid and i have the rights of any other citizen and can drive with 0.05 alcohol in my system. Haha again! Maybe they should check their books before booking someone with nothing to book for...discrimination i say! haha! I disgress...

... un kangourou, c'est comme un chat! Grattez-le dans le cou et derrière les oreilles et vous avez un ami à vie. Je vous en laisse juger par vous-mêmes, ils sont tellement drôles! Attention, les mains sont dégueulasses après... <br><br> On pourrait passer des heures et des heures ici. En fait, c'est un peu ce qu'on a fait et ça nous a pas mal retardé dans notre horaire. La ferme qui produit le miel leatherwood est fermée lorsqu'on passe devant, il faudra en trouver dans ...

... 3000 fine so I had to let it go. Shame as Launceston really is just a big country town, which for a solo traveller without a car it becomes an expensive place. I also am very glad I went to the Tasmania Zoo, a bit of a trek out of Launceston without a car but they have a shuttle bus that came and got me. Its a breeding zoo for Tassie Devils, and is all about interaction with animals. They let you pat a baby Devil (an adult wouldn't give you ...

... were class and everyone who came respected the no lights or power policy with great diligence which was great. At one stage there was 5 guitars, a tamborine, set of bongos and a harmonica all going at once which sounded good at the time but since we were all pretty monged at the time it could have sounded like a pair of stray cats getting it on! However, the great thing about hte party is that now we use candles all the time when watching ...

... to make it to a town with the last drops of fuel, only to find out that the gas station was closed for the day. We asked two men that were chatting up the road if there was another gas station in town, the answer to which was negative. I winged a bit about our situation and our lucky break continued. The two friendly men had about 3 liters of fuel in little canisters each, which they provided us with to allow us to ...

... and walks. The tour started in Launceston, our group was a total of 21 and from all over the world; our guide was Andy. We headed off to view a waterfall called St Columba's Falls, which pumps out 42000 liters of water a minute! After lunch we went to a coastal area called the bay of fires. The beach was stunning as was the colour of the water. In the afternoon we went to a wildlife park, where I saw Koala's, wombats, kangaroos, wallabies and of course ...

... wiec w swiat ruszamy dzis znow ..." Minely 4 miesiace od dnia kiedy oposcilismy Kanade i wyruszylismy zwiedzac Swiat. W grudniu wyladowalismy w Australii. Tutaj zatrzymalismy sie u naszej harcerskiej znajomej i jej meza - Sary (Berezowskiej) i Michala Dobbs. Spedzilismy u nich rodzinne Swieta Bozego Narodzenia i Sylwestra. Ale nasza "harcerska dola radosna" zarzucila nam plecak na plecy i zaprowadzila na Zlot Choragwii Harcerek i Harcerzy Australii ...

... and Freycinet National Park, which held the infamous Wineglass bay. After the 40 minute hike uphill, there was a "wild" kangaroo that I got to pet (and he even licked me!). There are so many tourists that go up there he was quite used to us. Then we walked around on some of some of the most impressive, gorgeous white beaches. It did me extremely well anyways! Honeymoon beach displayed the most multitudes of colors that showed off the blue-green water, bleach white sand, dark ...

... They were posted on an Australian Tourism Website and the answers are the actual responses by the website officials, who obviously have a sense of humour. Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it rain on TV, how do the plants grow? (UK). A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die. Q: Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA) A: Depends how much you've been drinking. Q: I want to walk from ...
