Ooooh vegemite spread on hot bread, yummmmmy. You have to be born here to appreciate vegemite.

I should also say you drive on the 'wrong side' of the road in US!

Australia also has the worst tasting concoction I ever tried - Vegemite.

Hey you Aussies!

What is that ice cream delight you have that is out of this world. It is a mix between ice cream and sherbert and comes in many fruit flavors. It starts with an 'S' I believe. (I remember the first letter, because that has been a quirky thing about my memory all my life! I often remember the first letter of a word, but not the whole word).

They do have good wine too!

YES! That's it. Is that something I could make? I so wish we had it in the states. It is heavenly!!! It is sold on a stick, like our ice cream bars here, right? Thanks so much for answering :)

I appreciate that link. But the frozen dessert I was thinking of can be purchased at your grocery stores, and are wrapped as individual 'ice cream bars' like the States ice cream bars, or a fudgesicle, or a dreamsicle (orange and vanilla) or a dove bar (ice cream with chocolate on the outside. But your concoction is kind of like fruity ice cream.

The name of it is probably Sorbet, but there is a company that makes them and may have a different name that is a take off on sorbet.

I respect your love of vegemite but that doesn't diminish the fact thta it tastes horrible. It's definitely an acquired taste.

I have always wanted to visit Australia and now that I am retired and have a little money saved I want to make the trip before arthritis makes that impossible. I am not a world traveler, I made my living as a carpenter. So what I want to know from anyone, but especially friends who live in Australia is, what is the best time of year and what should I see. Nature and animals are my thing but with limited walking because of the Arthritis. I don't have to use a cane yet and can still carry my own camera. Thanks for any information.

Spring is good if you like flowers,et cetera.
It's cool and warm. There's Floriade in
Canberra and Leura flower festival in the
Blue Mountains in NSW.
Out of school holidays is cheaper and
easier accommodation.
Summer is still good also.
There's many places and states.

Funnel Web spiders are good.
I was bitten by one. Very painful, like
someone hits you with a hammer.

It is called Splice by Unilever. You must try this delicious ice cream. I believe it comes in strawberry, pineapple, orange, mango and a few other flavors. They call it an icy pole. It is better than ice cream and has about 40% real fruit juice and pulp in it.

When we were near the Rain Forest, near Cairns, we had an tour guide that took us through the rain forest where we saw the Cassowary. Those birds will rip you wide open and that is why he was in a hurry to get out of there.

The guide took us to a sanctuary where they have kangaroos and wallabies that can not be returned to the wild. When the lady that runs the sanctuary called out, the kangaroos and wallabies came running. We got to feed them and pet them. These guys were not inclined to box with us or rip us up because they were so domesticated. If you can get up that way and see them, you will never forget it. There was also a tiny Koala baby that was in a tree and walked on the ground to the next tree. Cutest thing you will ever see!!
