Australia sounds like a wonderful place to flee to at times...at least until I read the occasional news article from there where some incredibly stupid law or another has put someone else in jail for something they would be laughed at for here in the states...
...and then there's the commentary from various aussies that I've received, where if you aren't from Australia....the locals can be a bit harsh on you.
Haven't ever been there, but i'd like to visit someday. The automobiles that are available there are phenomenal, compared to most of the garbage here in the states...however, there's always a catch.
