    Dec - Jan is the best time I believe to visit Australia, Early December it is warm but not to the extent that it is in Feb.

    Perth without a doubt

    Perth or Gold Coast

    Gold Coast

    nothing wrong with the accent mate ;)

    Violence is not a huge problem, no more so than any other country

    You would need to go into remote areas to meet a full blooded aboriginal, most now are not what you would call the traditional aboriginal

    It may, but there will be hot females on the island

    In regards to the weapons laws, you are basically looking at the same as any western country. Use of brass knuckles are illegal if you get caught ;)

    Melbourne is the best city in Aust to live in. It's second in the list of the most livable cities in the world this year (equal first last year).

    By comparison, Sydney is a paltry 7th, behind Perth and Adelaide :p

    1-3) Gold Coast/anywhere in Queensland during Summer (dec-jan). Also some of the beaches around Perth and Adelaide are pretty awesome. I think there's a nude beach near Adelaide.
    4) We don't have funny accents. You do. :)
    5) Except for an occasional public booting, we're pretty relaxed.
    6) Go to the outback. Darwin has a large Aboriginal population.
    7) Yes. But surprisingly only Americans will survive.
    8) Try it. I dares ya!

    sydney, brisbane, canberra , and perth have a super 14 rugby team. melbourne does not.

    i always thought perth was just one big brothel to service the US navy when they had stopovers?

    Who cares about super 14! The players that arent good enough to play in the NRL....like anyone wants to watch that!

    As faar as sport goes there are a couple of choices. You can either watch a sport that has as much skill as 15 drunks chasing a $5 note on a windy day outside of a pub, OR, you can follow a real sport in the NRL. :cool:

    Here is a tip. People that bag Sydney for not being the best city....they just cant afford to live here. :cool:

    The people that "make it" in Australia all moved to Sydney.


    1) Where are the hottest chicks in Aussie land?
    Gold Coast.

    2) Where are the hottest beaches in Aussie land?
    The most well known I would sugggest is Bondi which is in Sydney. We have heap of great useable beached in Sydney. Up north the beaches can look stunning, its just that is you go in the water you will either be stung, or eaten by something!

    3) Where is the easiest place to get laid in Aussie land?
    Probably Kings Cross....but, you might not be up for that type of thing.

    4) Why do you have funny accents?
    Why do you have funny accents?

    5) Are Aussies prone to violence, due to your ancestory?
    I'll kill you!

    Actually, the amount of people who can trace their family back to convicts is TINY. Our population was grown many on the back of immigration.

    6) How can I meet an Aborogine?
    If you see an Aboriginal person just walk up and say hi!

    7) If I get on a plane from Australia to Los Angeles, will it crash on a remote island?
    Probably. I mean, the chnaces of a crash are slim....and the chances that you actually crash on last as opposed to hitting the biggest ocean on the planet are slim....but Im sure thats how it all works out anyway.


    8) Can silencers be used in Aussie land? How strict are your weapons laws?
    Brass knuckles?
    Only in disputed over whos shout it is at the pub.
