Brett - if you leave your toothbrush behind you can buy one here - our shops sell lotsa' good stuff! Not that I think you are one of those insular Americans who don't know anything about other countries. We have only been adding to your existing knowledge by telling you about the drop bears & the bitey things that abound in Oz. Did anyone mention the stinging jellyfish & other creatures found in northern seas?

While I was still working in the call centre of our Federal Govt agency I received an email from a researcher in an American organisation who had obviously confused Australia with Austria! I politely replied saying we can't help you with what you need. She responded that if we ever needed any information from them to please ask. No thankyou, I thought to myself.
