Moving there permanently is intimidating for me even though there are not snakes :) It is the great unknown- not being surrounded by what is familiar to you...The Daily Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843902889491327636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026564111505083825.post-2770996726251628952009-09-23T20:54:39.727+10:002009-09-23T20:54:39.727+10:00I've always thought we Yanks to be a melting p...I've always thought we Yanks to be a melting pot of migrants, but there is something to be said for the tough and scrappy Australian migrants and all they had to endure.

No way could I live there. As a child I did live in Papua New Guinea and can still remember the pythons and bird eating spiders. Not to mention the headhunters still in the jungle. If you ever see a book called Tour to Hell by David Levell pick it up. It's a non fiction book about early settlers in Australia and written by my Scribe :) He really bought what the bush and that experience was to life in my totally unbiased opinion. Hope all is well. xxJosephine Tale Peddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16431330956687490112noreply@blogger.com
