Some impressions of the wild and wonderful land of Australia.

Hauled By Horse!: "Mention the seaside town of Victor Harbor to any Australian or overseas visitor who has had the pleasure of visiting Adelaide, and their eyes will immediately glaze over with happy memories of riding the Victor Harbor horse-drawn tram across the wooden causeway which links the Victor Harbor township to Granite Island." Mojan in South Australia takes a ride on a unique form of transport...

Seen In My Garden: "We are so lucky here in New South Wales, as we get a wide selection of the most beautiful birds on earth. I've always fed them, even though it cost me a fortune in parrot seed and honey, and ground mince for the meat eaters etc. But since I moved I stopped it and planted the native trees which feed them, and only occasionally do I put out bread and honey." Sydney Sue describes the amazing variety of wildlife in an Aussie garden.

Christmas in Australia (1): "I've now spent Christmas in Aus for twenty-four, out of a possible twenty-six years of living here. Every year it's the same, the feeling of surprise when hearing the first Christmas carols while shopping, around the beginning of November. I don't think I'll ever get accustomed to hot sunny days and Christmas celebrations." Sydney Sue in New South Wales describes the Australian Christmas.
Christmas in Australia (2): "'Chestnuts roasting on an open fire'...it's not!! In fact anyone caught doing anything with an open fire between the months of December and April is likely to incur a huge fine in Australia, as it's 'bushfire season'! The Country Fire Service personnel would not be best pleased to be summoned from their Christmas Day lunches for reason of chestnuts being roasted on an open fire and starting a bush fire that's now spread over 15 hectares or more!" Mojan in South Australia gives a different view of the Aussie Christmas.
