I was also blessed to have the opportunity to travel to Australia some 20 yrs ago. Landing in Sydney on New Years day. Resting from the flight and touring for several days, then off to Cains for more relaxation. Boarded the narrow gauge train stopping often to experience local flavor. On to Brisbane which became my favorite city in Australia. Unfortunately did not get west and to Perth. Family members have told me that Perth was their fav. city. Hope I am not too forward with this "Right on ya mate".
