If you say "Wattle Lake Eyre" it sounds like "What'll they care?"

Re: Austraila
In a corner at the end of the world? Well surely, by looking at the USA, America is also in the corner at the end of the world?
And if Australia is in a corner at the end of the world, how do you describe New Zealand?

Re: Austraila
true but america is sandwiched in between canada and mexico to keep it company while australia is out there on it's own. as for new zealand, erm, it's such a small area i completely forgot about it. :\

I come to Australia's rescue....because we are all from Gondwanaland...
Australia isn't really isolated....the only isolated placed in the world is Tristan Da Cunha island.

Re: Austraila
All in good fun, Flowers4Carlos.
BTW, that is a really interesting name. Could be a name of a movie or a book. Is there a reason for it?
