Snippets: Australia, the Land Down Under

The longest non-stop flight from the U.S.A. is Qantas' flight from Dallas/Fort Worth to Sydney, which clocks in at nearly 15 hours.

In a survey Australia was the Number 1 choice for the "ultimate dream international destination." I've been to Perth, Australia, and I can see why it's so popular. Australians loved Americans and vice versa.

Some of the attractions:

The Great Barrier Reef stretches over 1,300 miles along the east coast. There is Hamilton Island, Whitsunday Islands, which is a collection of 770 islands off the coast of the state of Queensland.

Sydney's BridgeClimb express is the fastest way to the summit. At the top, one can see a spectacular view of Sydney.

I visited Australia in the early 80's, while on board the USS Kitty Hawk (Air Craft Carrier)

The Australian were great, making the Perth port one of my favorites and most memorable places. They loved to talk to Americans. Even though I don't remember many sites, I remember the people and their accent.
