>Australia is most likely a lot fking bigger than your average Pom appreciates:)
I actually think the reverse is true - Pomgolia is a lot bigger than the avergae aussie appreciates. most poms are a lot happier to travel to do stuff than aussies. i regularly head to point perp and back in a day whilst my aussie mates reckon its too far to go for one day, same with the blue mountains. back in my rugby playing days the awya trip to penrith was dreaded even though it was 30 mins drive vs my first game for leeds was against redruth in cornwall which was a 7 hour coach trip each way (about 400 miles)
