Anyone Been To Australia?
Anyone been to Australia, for business or pleasure? What did you see or where did you go? Did you see the Oprah special on Australia a couple of years ago? Tourist, Sailor, Soldier, Scientist...

dadwolf2, will get back to you with some ideas within the next couple of hours, at work at re moment.
By the way, I had a Bar in Fremantle, Western Australia, 90-97, served a lot of US Sailors & Maines.
When you guys(& girls) were in town prices went up 100%, but I kept my prices the same, rooms, food & drinks, reasonable and met 1000's of great US people. We were literally next to the wharf, Down the Western End, on Phillamore Street, was called His Lordship's Larder. Very busy place, locals, tourists, sailors, women, all sorts! On Friday's I had a nine hour dance show, 12noon till 9pm,
three different sets. Danc'n on the Bar counter, Pool Tables & staging. Got to work at 7am and removed all the tables and chairs in the two main bars, as I would have 500 guys in the bar at any given time, and we served 5500 to 6500 drinks for the day. Was like that every week, sailors or no sailors. Yee Haa!
Still doing the same thing, in a little Bar near Perth Airport, The Redcliffe Tavern. Half the size, but very busy too, about 4700 sq ft. Lots of Fly In, Fly Out Miners, Men & Women, most come off night duty, tired and well behaved, with a mix of locals and tourists.
Lots of Fun.
Been a Barman for 40 years! Cheers!
