LEAVING ON A JET PLANE...

Well... after 894,222 pints of beer, 345 gallons of goon, 1023 flatliners, it was finally time to call last orders in the land of the convicts. We had a fantastic final few days courtesy of Mitch and Greg, who force fed us more drink at their B&B outside Perth. It was really relaxing and a perfect send off after 6 months in Oz. But now, how to sum up the place...
JFT: AUSTRALIA Not everything I hoped for. The place definitely lived up to my expectations in regards to the scenery -- especially (on account of its size) how diverse it was, from the tropics in the north to the desert in the middle, and the perfect soonshine of Perth or Syders. The cities were also clean, attractive and really easy to get around. The beaches were the nuts, but better still, how fantastic the sports facilities were! And now to the disappointing part: the lazy fu*kers that don't use them! I was under the impression that all Aussies were sports nuts -- yeah right! It's second to only America for having the highest population of sofa loving hippos. Plus, with the exception of a few, and places like the middle, north and west coast, most of the Aussies we met might as well have been Americans... it should be called New America. So, to sum it up simply would be to say "Great country, shame about the locals". But no one wants this to happen, so I suggest our government says it made a mistake and get all the crooks back to Britain and we can all move to Oz... but still leave all the ruds behind. Whose with me?
Anyway, I hope that doesn't sound too negative. I'm just peeved off I didn't have any arguments with the locals about how crap Aussie Rules is... The highlights were definitely Whitsundays, Frasier, Ayres Rock and Kakadu. It's a shame we didn't get to do the West Coast, but I'm sure I will return to New America at some stage...
