AUSTRALIA - EVEN MORE OF WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW
AUSTRALIA is known as "The Lucky Country" and , at this site, which is a continuation of THE PREVIOUS SITE on Australia, ( CLICK HERE TO SEARCH FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CITY YOU WISH TO EXPLORE)we welcome all those of you who plan to favour us with a visit. I shall introduce you to a number of very helpful web-sites to make your stop-over as pleasant and fruitful as possible, beginning with # A GUIDE TO AUSSIE LAND which will provide you with all the info you need, including # TELSTRA'S SPRINGBOARD SITE, giving facts galore re. Kids' Interactivities - a huge list of Kids' links - Australia's popular "Matilda" Search Engine and also international sites relevant to children's needs. Then for "Bigger Kids" (it does not sound good to say that it is an "Adults site"), there are over 220 Australian Educational institutions worth accessing, including some specifically designed for people with disabilities and who seek higher learning. If you are looking for a JOB in Australia, or seek to develop a CAREER (want help in preparing your CV ?) here, simply CLICK HERE ON "MY-CAREER.COM" . For more general, related information, access the Fairfax Interactive Network, which has just about everything - News, Weather, Shopping, Music, Flowers, Gifts, Lifestyle, Sport . Simply click here on BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES (Fairfax)
# AUSTRALIANA will take you "Beyond the Black Stump" so, if you are interested in Aboriginal Activities, Ageing, Air Force, Airlines (you can book your flights here) Amnesty, Architecture, Antarctica, Army etc., this is the site for you. Notice that these only cover the "A"'s, but this Aussie Index takes you from A to Z. !! --- lots and lots of info.
# CURRICULUM PROJECTS will be of great interest to those of you who are teachers. This site is operated by the RITE Group, "RITE" standing for "Research into Information Technology Education". A Search Machine also is available at this site. Access is highly recommended
# "METAFIND" MULTIPLE SEARCH MACHINE is one of the best to search out for you anything about Australia that you cannot find in the sites already listed.
# MATTERS SCIENTIFIC are a fascination for many Australians who, by some of our American friends, in particular, are thought to ride about the "bush" on the backs of Kangaroos. Such is not the case, I can assure you. This site virtually opens for you, month by month, the "New Scientist" magazine, dealing with the deeper things of the universe - real meaty stuff you can sink your teeth into.
# NATURE is a International weekly Journal of Science that I would heartily recommend, especially if you are interested in the preservation of the Environment.
# DISCOVER is a publication put out by the Walt Disney Company and deals with Current Events, Recent News and Book Reviews, along with much more information.
# SCIENCE AND MANY LINKS TO EVEN MORE SITES is an excellent site, one of the many sponsored by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research
# MORE INFORMATION RE. SURFING THE NET will provide you with a beginner's guide and some excellent tips for those just launching out.
# DOUG RICHARDSON'S INFORMATIVE SITES certainly is worth book-marking. This site, with its MANY links has helped me tremendously. It will inform you of just about all you will ever need to know about the Internet. A fantastic site.
# NASA SPACE PROGRAMS interest us because one of our grand-daughters plans to be a space scientist however, before she goes to the States, she has to convert a lot of her Australian words into what her American friends call "bad spelling"; like their calling "Petrol", "Gasoline" (it is a petroleum product) or referring to a "Tram" as a "Street-car"; how ridiculous, when our Adelaide "street-cars" also travel through scenic park-lands where there are no streets ! When will they ever learn? . Also, they cannot understand why we should call a "side-walk" a "foot-path", of all things, when a foot-path, these days, is also used by speeding courier cyclists etc.. This reminds me that we need to add a copy of ROGET'S THESAURUS to this site so that you visitors, particularly those from the U.S., may be able to understand proper English before your arrival. Our Immigration Departments at all our airports have signs printed in English. While we are on to such things, you'll need a good Aussie ENCYCLOPEDIA . No kidding. At this site, you'll get all the information you need, from A to Z. , but, if that does not satisfy you and you want some scientific facts in more detail, just check out the site of the
C.S.I.R.O. which is Australia's top-ranking scientific research authority. Now you will be surprised by what we, here in Australia, have discovered / invented which is really what keeps the earth spinning in its orbit. But enough of all this; we don't want you to imagine that we are blowing our own trumpet.
Once more, WELCOME to AUSTRALIA - THE LUCKY COUNTRY and ENJOY !
