Yep! I’ve been to Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, and Auckland, and good LORD the people are nice there. I honestly, no kidding, had to buy an extra suitcase at one trip because people brought me so many presents (I know I talk about this a lot but it was very touching to be welcomed there like that). The cons were lovely, the readers were wonderful.
I have so many memories; petting koalas and kangaroos, taking the glass-bottom tram over an endless green forest, helicopter ride over the Twelve Apostles, swimming in the Sydney ocean three days after a fatal shark attack in the same area…just an extraordinary country (New Zealand, too!).
But I will remember the people the best. Can’t wait to go back!
Edit: I know Auckland isn’t Australia, ya goof. ;) I should have said in that area, I guess!
