Australia



Australia

- Where is it?
- What is there?
- Isn't that the place of the convicts?
- That's a tiny speck on the bottom of the map isn't it?
- What do the Aborigines look like ?
- What foods do they eat and do you eat?
- What sports do you play?
- Do Kangaroos really hop down the main street in the cities?
- What do Australian animals look like?
- Does Australia have natural plants?

These are just some of the questions I was asked when I arrived in Canada for a six month stay. People could not seem to grasp the size of Australia, nor the scenery, animals and even that we eat the same foods. (LOL)

So at the end of September 1999 I decided that I was going to show the world just what Australia is all about. There was no way possible that I could even try to put everything on the pages. Australia is just too vast and varied a country to do that.

However hopefully by the time you read these pages you will have a better understanding of the country. I have to admit there was and is a lot that I don't know about my own country and this has been a fantastic way to -
1. Learn about my country
2. Stop feeling so homesick

You will find (as I finish them) pages on each of the States, the history of Australia, the life style of Aboriginal's including hunting, arts, tools, dream time stories and culture. Australian sports you will also find, even that weird game of cricket and now what's that game that's something between rugby, soccer and anything else thrown in, Aussie Rules Football. In case you wanted to know my home team in AFL is the West Coast Eagles, Go Eagles in 2000. I will also have a page on the Natural Disasters for the last 30 years, food (with some fantastic recipes), Australian native animals, birds, reptiles ( yuck), ocean life and plants. Arts and Entertainment also play a big part in Australia.

So as you can see my work was and still is cut out for me. But the fun and frustration I had / have in doing it has made it wonderful to do.

Now here's where I say lots of BIG THANK YOU'S
Firstly to my Husband Dave for putting up with my yelling and swearing because I could not find something that I needed. And also for making the detailed buttons for me.
Cathy and Melonie for all their help (and more to come I hope) in learning firstly how to build web pages, then being critics in what they look like and what changes needed doing.
To all the sites that I visited and gained valuable knowledge and documents about Australia. Also to the sites that I used their pictures to show you all about Australia.
To the sites that I was able to take background graphics from I thank you.
To the people who helped me find the music I needed for some of the pages I appreciate it.
If I have missed some one out please let me know and I will rectify it immediately. If anyone finds any copywrited material or pictures please once again let me know and I will remove it immediately.

As you will see below that not all of the pages that I said would be in here are listed. Well that's because I haven't finished them, however the Australian States and the History pages are on the site but not completed as yet. You will see as you travel through a Koala button sending you back to this page, a Kangaroo sending you to the next page of the series, an Emu sending you back and the Australian Flags sending you to the states. So come back often and check all the new pages out.

Traveling through my pages you will see sponsor's banners. These sponsors help maintain this site, so please click on them and check them out. A few of them are not even selling anything but giving things away for free.
