Hello, I'll never be able to move to wonderful Australia, so can you
good people recommend some books or videos about Australia? Right now
I'm reading "Australia, A BIOGRAPHY OF A NATION. Which seems to be an
excellent book. I also saw the mini series "A town called Alice' years
ago which I enjoyed very much. So anything you can recommend would be
appreciated, Thanky,,,,,,, J

Bill Bryson - Down Under (Book)

I also enjoyed the film The Dish although I 'think' it was tongue in cheek!!

Try the series called 'The Australians' some 16 novels. Semi fiction but founded well on history By Vivian Stuart (or sometimes shown as Stuart Vivian)

David Seaman

Bill Bryson's "Down Under" is a great read!

What about ABC TV's "Bushtucker Man" some good outback australian imagery on those videos.

And I'm sure we've all been brought up on a diet of 'home and away' 'neighbours' 'the flying doctors' and 'the Sullivans' ;-)

All as true a representation of Ozzie life as 'Coronation Street' 'Eastenders' and 'Brookside'............

You can't do better than watching the movie "The Castle" .

FOX

Billy Connoly World Tour of Australia, Funny and Interesting.

Mountain Dew Or Crab Juice?

Hey Jeff:

I think you are the same person I responded to before, in which you stated
you did not like the USA and wanted to move to Oz?

Well, that's fine that you want to move, and it is unfortunate that you
can't, but what about a vacation to Australia?

Read up on it first of course, but if you love Oz so much, why not go
explore it for yourself on vacation? I would think that would be the next
best thing to living there, if that is your goal.

I like Ben Darks series on the great exploreres shown from time to time on Cable.

How about "The Dish"...not a bad film

I may just do that Spewman! I was planning a trip in about a year or
two. Just dont want to leave my dog for a few weeks . She hates it when
I just go on over night trips. My wife says she cries non stop while I'm
gone. The dog not my wife, lol.,,,,,, J

Try "Dosser and Joe" for a good laugh. BBC comedy written by Caroline Aherne. Not sure how to get hold of it though. Has Madge from Neighbours in it.
