G'day Mates,
Just answer a few Aussie questions, find the special freebie travel offer for Singles or friends of Singles anywhere in the world.... and then "she'll be right mate."



These could be the most important 5W's of this Island Continent:



Who did Sydney Harbour? What did Broome sweep? Where did the Great Australian Bight? Why did Nullarbor? When did Ayers Rock and How did Darwin?



No worries? Now you can go to the home page of Shisymbol.com and check out this innovative symbol for Singles who want to meet travellers and non-travellers who are also Single, Happy and Interested in meeting-up, and who want to identify themselves with this quality jewellery. You can buy any sterling silver Shi Symbol for yourself or for your single rellies and mates and can either give the membership away with the symbol or keep it for yourself for your own travels.



Come on down under, spend only $70usd for a silver symbol, and get this limited time freebie of a $99usd family membership in TheTopTravelClub.com. You, or they, will then have access to over 30,000 accommodations at special member rates, air, land and sea adventures to suit all types of traveller and exceptional travel insurance (up to 40% discount) for members only....this is a DIY travel club as the club does not sell travel or take reservations.



From Seven Spirit Bay to Hudson Bay, Monkey Mia to Alligator Parkway, Wave Rock to White Rock, Newcastle to Newcastle, Bondi Beach to Chesil Beach, Cape York to Cape Town and anywhere in-between, you will find some great travel deals as members of TheTopTravelClub.com. btw...If you operate a travel business you will be offered a complimentary membership with your 'no cost' listing at the club.



Mull this over...you will even get back your outlay of $70usd when you start using the travel savings as club members...ergo...you get all of your money back....crikey!



Or, As the late great Slim Dusty would say, "Come on and give it a go mate" at ShiSymbol.com of Perth, Western Australia.

This week's Go-Lo Spotlight comes to us from Oz -- from the Outback town of Coober Pedy, known for its opals and its underground homes, restaurants, hotels, and churches. Go down under, Down Under! (After this week, you can find it in the Go-Lo Spotlight Archive)

I have a college roommate who lives in Perth and I keep meaning to visit. Maybe fly to Sydney and take that train? That sounds like a real adventure!! Anybody here actually done it?

Yes, there is quite a bit of desert, however may people from the States love the journey because train travel here is so very rare and they do it for the experience. There are several interesting stops which include history that a lot of visitors don't experience when they fly from place to place. The Perth area is wonderful and there are so many interesting and beautiful places to explore on that side of Australia that shouldn't be missed.

Hey Australia!
Anybody done the Indian Pacific Sydney-Perth train ride? Is it worth spending three days on a train? Does one actually see wildlife from the train, as the site
http://www.gsr.com.au/our-trains/indian-pacific/the-journey.php suggests? Or is it more about endless stretches of desert?
