Sam, we were there in '86, did an ATC independent-type tour. I got a bark painting at the Aboridgine Cultural Center in Brisbane. In Sydney we stayed at a hotel in The Rocks, turned a corner a there was the Harbor Bridge all lit up, quite a sight. Oz is quite a country, great to visit but don't think we handle living there.

We got a bark painting also. I know that stuff is made for tourists these days, but we tried our best to find one that looked fairly traditional and used the old colors, paints and themes, even went to the art museum to see what the old ones looked like, and of course just to see all the rest of the art, too.

Sydney harbor is beautiful, it's true. The headlands at the entrance are something else.

I much prefer the good old U.S.A. too, but there are some foreign countries I could manage, Australia is certainly one. I think the Bahamas might do OK, also.
