G'Day Mate,

Living in Florida for 3 years but still 100% Aussie!

What you need to know. There are several clubs trhoughout Australia. Car racing is pretty much all year round, but it does depend on the type of racing.

Cheers,

Pete

Comp,we are pretty friendly down here....i don't think you even need a visa....most live on the eastern seabord,with an outpost of civilization at perth on the southwest coast...there are only 20 million people hereand i suspect if we all held hands we wouldn't have enough people to go round the coast let alone cover the interior....melbourne where i live is remarkably similar to chicago except for the weather......it is never really cold or wet here....john :seeya

Dear comp,
Don't listen to jdunne or Brutus. I'll give you the good oil. First of all, the bad points:-
Sydney Funnel Web Spider (Atrax Robustus) most deadly spider in the world, inhabitant of Sydney.
Inland Taipan, also known as the Fierce Snake or Small Scaled Snake (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) The most venomous snake in the world, found in inland Queensland. Bite usually results in death in 5-10 minutes.
Coastal Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus) The second most venomous snake in the world, found in coastal Queensland.
Saltwater or estuarine crocodile (Crocodilus porosus) Grows to 7 metres (25 feet) Known maneater, found all over northern Australia.
Eastern Tiger snake ( Notechis scutatis) Fourth most venomous snake in the world, found all over south eastern Australia (New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania).
Have you ever wondered why a country the size of the USA has a population of only 20 million?
Welcome to Australia, watch where you step. :blueangel:

Regards from Down Under

Hmmm, thanks for the info John! I WAS planning on a visit to Queensland next year...... :D We've got wasps & Hornets - do they count? Oh yeah, we've also got a lot of Aussies in the Earls Court area of London who can be dangerous when provoked :lol:
Joe, Could you give a bit more info on the Melbourne Vette thing? I've got a good mate in Tassie who'd be VERY interested in it.
:cheers:
