Sweet. I'm going.

They don't have hurricanes in Austrailia, do they?

If enough of us go, this could very well be a historic moment in the history of bass. We'd all have girlfriends, but be out of work.

I'm down too, if they don't have any really scary giant arthopods, snakes, and other creepy crawlies.

AH crap, I forgot about Fosters...

Do they have any real beer there?

I might have to rethink my travel plans now.

You know this could be a great boon to the US economy. We'd all buy as many basses as we could carry when we moved (instead of spending $4000AUS on a MIM P-Bass) and routinely ship ships of beer to Australia.

I can foresee the great keg ships now...

we can use oil tankers to transport the beer. agreed on the basses thing, we can set up shops, and have people here who will buy the stuff and ship it to us. Lets take over Australia!

Guys

no one in australia drink Fosters. Really... No one except tourists.

As for the creepy crawlies we have heaps but if you leave them alone and make periodic sacrifices you should be ok
