Figures from Australia's peak tourism body, Tourism Australia, show 109,843 Canadians visited Australia in 2006 with a forecast increase in 2007 to 114,125. It's not easy. It's been 20 years since Paul Hogan of Crocodile Dundee fame lured millions of visitors to our shores with his down-home, ockerish (slang for overtly Australian) "I'll throw a shrimp on the barbie" campaign. Our natural heritage is one of Australia's most important competitive advantages in the global tourism market," he told the national broadsheet The Australian recently.

They've found them searching for dinosaur footprints in western Queensland, fishing for flathead off river mouths in northern New South Wales and even forming their own "mosh pit'' at the feet of a genuine senior's sex symbol. He passed out a bucket, the nomads threw in a $2 coin, and the Sri Lankan-born-song-bird launched into "Sweet Caroline'' or "That Funny, Familiar, Forgotten Feeling'' while the crowd either danced on the tables or waltzed on the lawns. We won't be staying at caravan parks like we used to do, for one thing," Ms. [Doreen Scott] told The Australian. "A lot of them (nomads) are doing this -- saving on caravan parks so they've got the extra money for fuel.''

Dear [Desley Boyle]: G'day, mate! I have excellent news -- You can officially end your worldwide search for someone to become the "caretaker" of Hamilton Island, a tiny tropical paradise in your country's legendary Great Barrier Reef. I know I can handle that, Desley, especially the "blogging" bit because even though I'm not an expert on this whole "Intraweb" thing, I'm pretty sure I can order my teenagers to do it for me. So I've got that going for me. In conclusion, Desley, I know you have had more than 200,000 people apply for this job (they even crashed your website) but if you check out the video I've uploaded you'll agree I'm the logical choice. The best part is that my newspaper is willing to let me leave for the island immediately... which should be in July when it will be warm...

We're a courageous people -- we accept our role -- but we wouldn't have minded a show of hands before The Los Angeles Times decided to put us "on point'' earlier this month. Tim Flannery, a former Australian of the Year and one of the world's more outspoken climate change advocates, says this "delusion'' is already ravaging Australia and threatens the natural superstructure of the globe. Does anyone at this paper care for a wager? I'll put a lazy billion on Australia (and Australians) outlasting the LA Times.''

With almost 250,000 vulnerable coastal buildings, Queensland is at the highest risk of all Australian states from projected sea level rise, coastal flooding and erosion.'' "They've risen and fallen up to 600 metres,'' he told the national broadcaster ABC recently. "The sea level changes we've had in the last 12,000 years have been about a centimetre a year.''

She's been described as "a great ball of light" by an adoring husband and "as tough as teak" by equally enamoured political colleagues. [Anna Bligh]'s win in the northern state of Queensland has caught Australia's attention, sending as it does a powerful message about profound changes taking place in the nation's political and social dynamic. His obvious sincerity and deserved reputation as a "good bloke" were not enough to re-ignite the old flames that kept the Conservatives in power in Queensland for so long.

You can't do that in Australia; that would be ridiculous," she said. Andreas Wessel, a student at the University of Applied Sciences in Bielefeld, Germany, could be a poster child for Destination Winnipeg, the city's tourism and marketing arm. He's back at the MIMC for the second January in a row. He said the chance to use the theory from class in a real-world situation is invaluable, particularly as he's presenting in English, his third language. "I liked having a frozen nose and ears. It's interesting to know this experience and breathe in this cold air," he said.
