Discover the Australian way

Welcome to the greatest island on earth, with one of the world's most affluent, diverse and stable communities where terrorism and other nasties are definitely NOT a way of life.

This is Australia.

The Australian Government, always at the forefront of technology changes in our country, explore cyberspace with their electronic mouthpiece.

If you are interested in trivia, here is some Australian trivia for you... However, at the moment, the Australian Republic is a major political issue which has taken a back seat since John Howard took over the position of Prime Minister following the Coalition's defeat of the sitting Labor Party in March 1996.

The Australian States

Australia is made up of a number of states, the largest of which, Western Australia, would comfortably fit half of Europe- with a population of just over 1,500,000 people. Wow.. no wonder we are accused of going walkabout..

Queensland, affectionately known as the "sunshine state", is the fastest growing part of OZ and certainly worth a visit if you are on the global trot. (For movie buffs... Paul Hogan who played Crocodile Dundee lives here).

The garden state of Victoria has established VicNet to provide that community with access to the Internet. Some fabulous images of Victoria from Ben's Cyber photo album are available.

The progressive Australian Cities

OK so we have learnt about the macro picture, now how about a nice little bit of community focus.

Then there is the City of Devonport which has recently followed the Ipswich vision. Other Cities are currently under development - so keep an eye on the Community section!
