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...

When I was in Nam I did my R&R in Sidney. Viewed the opera house when it was being built. The shells were just about all that was done at that time and they allowed people to walk through it even though it was in the construction stages. Very interesting concept. I enjoyed the people of down under and had a great week there being a tourists and having some great meals after the Army chow. Had some of the best steaks while I was there.
Couldn't believe it as we were coming in from the airport the taxi driver said that he would sure be glad when the street cleaners came back off of strike and went back to work. I looked out the window of the cab and didn't see any trash around so I asked him how long they had been on strike and he responded that it was about a month. Then as we walked around down town I could understand why it was clean there was a trash can on every corner and if someone was walking down the sidewalk and saw some paper on the street they would pick it up and put it in the trash can. Left a lasting impression on me even after over 40 years ago and I still remember it.
Beautiful in Sidney and surrounding area that we visited.
