Damn right. Come to Australia. It's a fantastic place.... So good in fact that I haven't left. I've travelled everywhere in this wide brown land except for Western Australia (but only because it is too far away), but I will get there some time. I figured why go overseas until I've seen my own country, and that turned out to be a bigger task than I thought.

I'd add a quaint little description of each state - but unlike the US they are so monolithic and huge that they differ vastly from one side to the other.

I'll just give some simple dot point descriptions of the states to signify the conflicting nature of the states.
