It was this same fear that had our new Tourism Australia "bloody hell" commercials condemned. How boorish we were to replace the old ads of artists (which didn't work) with new ones starring beach bunnies and camel drivers, who seemed no-airs friendly, deep-tanned outdoorsy and even drug-free.

My brother and I have had a dream for about two decades now to travel to Australia together. We weren't going there to look at the art, we were going there to see a beautiful frontier continent and a unique people. And dive great waters!

It is a beautiful place. The navy took me there a couple times. Only one of a few places I've been where I would like to go back. If I had the money, I would vacation there a lot.

I've had a dream to visit Australia, too, for about 2 decades. My son is also now very interested. And yes, though I don't dive, to see the beautiful country, especially the southeast for me, and, of course, the fantastic, 'no-airsy' people. The art (watercolorists everywhere know Bob Wade), the food, and, yes, the zoo and wildlife reserve. I like the new commercials.
