I agree.Many thanks to naturalman,dundee and others for giving us clear and concise info on their homeland and I sure hope they continue these reports.I've had a "thing" for Australia since I first visited there about 30 years ago and that "thing" had driven me to return about a half dozen times since.I love the country and her people.In fact,I'm seriously considering applying for a retirement visa...but I promise I won't violate any of their immigration laws! ;-)

Knowing almost nothing about Rudd (I think naturalman once told me that he's 'not all that bad') one can only hope that he serves the legitimate aspirations of his countrymen...at home *and* abroad...and lets hope that he doesn't go down the same road,domestically or internationally,that that clown in Spain (Bin Laden's hand picked candidate) has since a few days after the Madrid bombings.

A belated Happy Birthday to you. I see your sign up date as 10/14/07. You are three. The same age as my Aussie grandson. May your years here, at Jim's Place, bear fruit. Jim's Place, this FreeRepublic, is a wonder to behold. Tonight and this AM is witness of such, as each past day have proved, and the future of this FreeRepublic looks bright.

For our FRiends, the Aussies, and all here doing the reporting....I say, "Job, Well Done!"

To Jim (SIR to me) I say, "Job, Better Done!"

This is typed not to slight, in any way, our FRiends the Aussies, for I too love the country of Australia, and Australia's People. Australia's People are some of the best people, in the world, if not the best! I have family there. Thank God, for the Aussies, our family, and our FRiends.

All here Serve, at the discretion of the owner, Jim (SIR to me). May Jim (SIR to me) consider my posts worthy of His site. The opinions, typed here, belong to the one who typed that opinion. This is part of the unique History of this site. I know I will be corrected, if I am wrong. This site has meant so much to those seeking like minded people, in a world of spinning, and spinning, and spinning.

Again, a belated Happy Birthday to you. May all who pursue the elusive fruit of Freedom, always savor the taste of that fruit, once attained and even when that fruit is not attained. May God bless you and yours, and may God bless our Nations and Allies with the pursuit and attainment of the fruit, Freedom. Nothing I know of, in this world, tastes better!

correction on the date....04 NOT 07...my mistake and error. Forgive me, I did get your age right...ok? (smile)

Having read about Rudd's commitment to the Kyoto agreement I’d have to say Australia has elected a rather dim bulb. God bless and protect our dear friend Australia.
