And oh Emese, I WAS SERIOUSLY WANTING TO DO THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD. SO MUCH

SO THAT i GOT A QUOTE FROM "AAA" for Airfare to Melbourne, which is the

closest airport to the GOR, and fly out of Surfers Paradise. Since the

meeting/gathering is in Surfers P. It would be one long drive back to fly

out of Melbourne, about 4 days at least. So anyhow, I did extensive research

on the GOR, it looks fabulous, I even talked to a hotel owner in Lorne

via email. Well, airfare from the USA would be $2800 (minimum) for 1 ticket,

that is in USD. Now I have met a lot of these crewbies at aldacons ( http://alda.org

) since 1996, and vegas, and many don't even drive. I darn lucky I'm still

driving and working and not living on govt assistance, and have a husband

to help me out ifneeded. So unless you have about $5000 and 3 weeks, the

great ocean road and the oz venture together is unrealistic. Just my 2

cents, been getting prices from lots of sources last 2 weeks. I bet the

no oz goers are getting a kick out of this, or maybe just getting

sick.

would like the Crewbies who come to Australia to see something INTERESTING

and not the same crap that everyone else sees and the same boring rubbish

that you are advocating. Wake up Dahlink, Sydney is a big place and has

more than just the shoddy boring Harbour and if I can walk around a town

or place then any non-paralyzed person can. Marcus I have NF2 you moron

so I think I do know what it involves :-)!!!!!!!!! I think the Great Ocean

Road idea is just brilliant. The only way to meet Australians is to get

out of the tourist zones because otherwise all you meet are other foreigners.

And the Crocodile "hunter" is such a LOSER!!!!!!!! Please don't line this

idiot's pockets any further. If you want to see Aussie animals in their

natural state the best places are Kangaroo Island and Island. The

dingoes on Fraser are feral (as are all dingoes for that matter). Kisses

to you you boring old man!!!!!!!!!!!!! And P.S. I'm not going in June so

you're all safe.
