Re: Free Cancer Screening - Low Takeup Rate

Re: Canberra the best place to live, in the world's best country: OECD

That OECD report seems to be quite good especially if they've done a better job than our ABS, definitely worth a good look.

Re: Taking a Motorhome to Oz

For serious outback travel you'd probably rent a satellite phone, checking in to a friend every 24 hours by text with your latest location, if on any day you don't check in an alarm is raised.
