Looking for souvenir help from the Aussie MOLers

I was going to suggest a wombat!

Let us know what he chooses to bring home.

Not sure how to get him right side up. :-(

He's correct in the photo upload preview. 

Hello Ozzie!

Ozzie is adorable!

I visited Australia about 20 years ago and loved it.  One really cool thing was wherever you went, you were warned about animals that might kill you:  spiders, jellyfish, large reptiles.  Very interesting place.  I'd love to go back sometime.

we've got a visiting bird we nicknamed the Pterodactyl!

Or, if you visit the marksierras, you'll be well-fed - excellent cooks, and their home is close to  so many wonderful places to explore!

Don't leave it too late.

Too many people put off their touring until they're well into retirement age and, by then, they're getting to the stage where the physical demands of travel are beginning to get too much for them.

Along with the wildlife, another thing to watch out for is the fact that we drive on the 'other' side of the road - just like in the UK and some other, former British Commonwealth countries.

Many overseas-born pedestrians get skittled because they forget to look to the right, first, when they step on to the roadway.

Similarly, I knew a bloke who'd grown up in the US, came to Australia for about six months, and looked to the left first before he drove through an intersection.  His car got collected by someone coming from his right.  He was lucky ... he survived with only a shaking.  In fact the only panel on his car that was undamaged after that accident was the roof.
