During my travel work time, about seven co-workers of mine had taken trips here, one girl actually came from the area and decided to do a work aboard here in the US and figured a travel agency would be a great place to start. I can not count the number of people I have helped to to this wonderful place, even though it is the longest trip to most known, I still want to make it there just once - so I can enjoy some of the things I have seen and read about. :)
Here is some back round on Oz.
- The name "Australia" is derived from the Latin Australis, meaning "of the South".
- The first human habitation of Australia is estimated to have occurred between 42,000 and 48,000 years ago.
- Australia consists of six states, two major mainland territories, and other minor territories.
- Australia's 7,617,930 square kilometers (2,941,299 sq. mi)
There are so many things you can do here, from learning to surf/snorkel to visiting some of the museums (I want to see The Sydney Opera) when I have the chance.
I thought I would help out
I thought I would help out abit here, and post some more interesting threads about Oz, so many people only know what they see on TV and nothing else, I feel thats a big let down for such an amazing place to visit!
