Thanks in advance!

Is anyone aware of any travels social clubs in Melbourne. I am look for
organisations where people get together who are interested in travel and
gather together regularly for events.
Thanks,

Dear All,
I'm moving to Perth for 1 year in Jan 05 and have been offered this
car by a colleague in Perth - is this a good deal (description below)
and is it a suitable car for a year in Perth?

Any  ideas for a quick holiday  in oz for a few days next week? I have a
week off and dont want to waste it...i am in melbourne.
Was thinking a few days in Darwin, would 3 or 4 days be enough to see plenty
there? or any other ideas?

I am planning on a long-term visit to Australia (approx. 5 months)
from March - July 2005. I will be staying in Adelaide but intend to
travel and would like to be able to call and receive calls from the US
as well as AUS as easily as possible. Suggestions? Please advise ASAP.

Can anyone tell me which days of the week the Ghan makes its way from
Adelaide to Alice Springs?   Any idea what the overnight sleeper charge is
per person?
Thanks in advance.

Any comment on input from anyone regarding nice B&Bs or farmstay homes in
the Alice Springs area?
Thanks,
Pete in Florida
