Just talked to our long lost Aussie friend Mike .We are looking forward to getting together in Brisbane . His comments were interesting as he said it was good we were coming to see the Great Barrier Reef now and not in 10 years as it is bleaching due to the warming seas killing the coral. He also related that there are sever droughts in Aus that effect washing cars , showering and watering of golf courses and cause wild fires.
Since I first wrote this entry things in Sydney have gotten more dramatic;check out this link for photos of the dust storm that delayed flights and made for some neat photos . Its has blown through same day.

When Pigs Fly
The other Aussie story is the swine flu out break in Aus . Maybe I should have called this entry the Three Horseman of the Apocolypse . Does not sound like I work for the Aussie Travel Bureau. No worries we are still looking forward to our trip !!!

The third horse of the apocalypse, one can only assume, is the Turners arriving in Australia (although they are used to cons, aren't they?)
