And now for a bit of trivia-- Queensland and Northern Territory Air Service first started in Longreach (central Queensland) back in the 1920's.

There ya go, QUANTAS, I could remember the QU part, the NTAS was what threw me. Yes, the commercials would be weird to you because they were produced to appeal to the U.S. market.
My impression of koalas was a cute cuddly thinggie... until I was at the Zoo one day, and one escaped it's display... then I found out that koalas can be NASTY little things! Dropping out of the trees to bit and scratch, then back up in the trees to, er, do the bird thing on people, then dropping out of the trees again.... Hence my constant referral to Drop Bears!
Enough chitter chatter for now, get finished packing and enjoy your well-deserved vacation!
