Hi everyone! Its now 2009 in Australia - we're among the first countries in the world to enter 2009!! I really hope the soldiers in all wars - including Isreal, Iraq & Afghanistan will put down their arms and realise the gift of being on Earth.
US citizens can come to Aus for 3 months via the visa waiver programme (subject to no criminal history, etc.) On the 90th day you must leave Australia, but can return the next dayfor another 3 months. Being an Island, you must fly to NZ (a 3 hour flight from Sydney/Melbourne) or to nearby asian countries (especially close to Perth). Theres no restrictions on the amount of time you can spend in Australia. If anyone wants more help in coming to Australia, please PM me.
