I have a friend that went to Australia one time.

That's pretty much all that happened. :lol:

At least that advertisment is funny, something ad-campaigns for countires seem to lack. :sweatdrop:

I'd love to visit Australia actually - beaches, scuba in the Great Barrier reef, the outback and all sorts of wildlife you can't see anywhere else.
 
Not #1, but definately a place I'd like to visit.
