For me theres many from our 6 weeks spent in two different trips to Oz

View of Sydney Harbour from Macquaries (sp?) point in the gardens.
View of Melbourne city from the roof (25 floors up) of our friends apartment block.
Barrier Reef
Atherton Tablelands
Brisbane city and waterfront
Great Ocean Road
Williamstown - lovely place and might well be where we end up when we migrate....

and as least as many more again around and about Melbourne/Brisbane/Cairns/Port Douglas and Sydney.

Wait untill you actually, go there then:scared: the over whelming feeling, is awsome. Like when i went to Stone henge as a kid, when you could climb on the stones The best feeling in Aus, is sitting out in the middle of the Simpson desert, looking up at the stars. You will under stand your position , on this planet ............ MM
