Background: Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal territorial claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took possession in the name of Great Britain. Six colonies were created in the late 18th and 19th centuries; they federated and became the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The new country took advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop its agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World Wars I and II. In recent decades, Australia has transformed itself into an internationally competitive, advanced market economy. It boasted one of the OECD's fastest growing economies during the 1990's, a performance due in large part to economic reforms adopted in the 1980's. Long-term concerns include pollution, particularly depletion of the ozone layer, and management and conservation of coastal areas, especially the Great Barrier Reef.

Wow!! 9 sleeps to go!!! I can't wait to take a break from work, but I really can't wait to see everyone. Found my passport, sorted out my phone, just have to call the bank and make myself pretty. I have a few clothes packed, just need to work out how much I need.... or how much I should take out and leave behind! Can't wait for San Francisco, can't wait for our grand final/birthday party. Other than that, just looking forward to relaxing. [View Full Entry]

I can't believe there's still nine and a half weeks left. But still so much to do. I have a shopping list, a packing list, a to do list. Seems like 2 weeks might not be worth it. But its still better than nothing. I somehow don't think its going to be the 2 weeks of relaxing that I planned. But its getting me away from everything here which was the reason. And I'll get to see the people that mean the most to me, which is the important thing. 68 SLEEPS TO GO!!! [View Full Entry]
