*random* how common are box jelly fish?

and for a vacation what places do you think would be good? (I'm a certified scuba diver too)

depends on seasonal stuff, but basically no one dies of that stuff anymore

Amazing diving wherever you go, the South Coast of Western Australia is particularly good, as is the North of WA (Exmouth Pier, Coral Bay etc), i'm a keen scuba diver myself

i just wouldn't want it to be like the east coast of grand cayman, AMAZING diving, but when you're done and back at the resort there's no shore diving and nothing else to do

one guy that was in the navy said in a thread about women around the world that they were in Australia one time and he said
"god bless Australian women"

well, if you are 6 foot plus, and built like a truck you'll have no worries whereever you go and whatever nationality you are

They don't like yank accents much in my experience, but if you are cute those little things don't matter so much

the fact plenty of you are pasty, weedy, and can't hold you drink does you no favours over here tho

[loic2003]

This is the bad-boy motor I earlier spoke of. The Holden Monaro.

Proper bad-boy. reasonably priced, also...

Ever heard a Asian (Chinese, Taiwanese...) with an Australian accent. It is quite attractive.

We ALL live on the coast really, water is a pretty serious constraint inland (the town i'm from has a bitumemised area about the size of maybe 8 football (whatver you play ) ovals to catch rain). Most people do live on the East Coast, but WA is the economic powerhouse of the country (and one of the world's largest resources producers)

The dangerous stuff is totally talked up, we have loads of redbacks around this house, and every house my folks have ever lived in (at my folks place i have a huge jar of meths that i keep dead redbacks in), but none of us, and very few people i know, have ever been bitten

red backs?

Like Black Widows.
