This is the poll for all the non-aussie's on here.
Maybe when this is all done, we can have a map somewhere on the site showing rough geographic location?

I reside in Southern England, in a county called Kent (The Garden of England - apparently!)I live in a small town called Paddock Wood, which is only about 150-200 years old. This is a map of Kent. This site should shoe you roughly where in Kent Paddock Wood is. This is Paddock Wood's website. Its actually quite embarresing! |

ahhhh nice nice nice! I thought kent was down south! *sigh* it must be really pretty! thankx for the links too...and ur parkwood site is quiet cute! much better then my towns one as u have a site  . tho i think my area is having a name change :S....argh! anyway how cool! u didnt get much of that really bad weather at the start of march/end of feb did u?! i was up in scotland and near newcastle at that time! argh the snow was crazy
edit: sorry i noticed u asked in the 'newbie intro thread; where and when i had bin to england. as i mention above it was from feb 18th to march 1st. mainly stayed in teeside as i travelled thru out scotland during the week and back to see relatives in england on the weekend. i did travel to liverpool and manchester too! saw a bit of newcastle. but only did hte north side. i hope to get bak there to do the south some time soon!

parkwood? How dare you! That's a 'slum' in the nearby county town! Its Paddock Wood! ;D Lol! It can be pretty in places, though i tend to find other counties prettier! Kent is a very busy county, as we're used as a through-fare between the Channel ports and London. It's not a bad place to live, except that the house prices are horrendous! It's in second place (with London first) for that cost!  Yep, we got lots of bad weather (and there i was wishing for a little bit of snow!). We had lots of snow and ice, which i loved driving in! (i must be mad!!!) It all seems to be warming up again now though! Roll on summer! Edit: Just saw your edit after i posted. Sounds like a fun trip. I haven't been to Scotland for years. Suppose i should visit again at somepoint. If you ever want to visit down south, let me know, and i can hopefuly tell you which places to visit |

Aussie Aussie Aussie,oi oi oi!!!!!!!!!!
I am an Aussie from queensland the smart state - der,I dont think so!!
I moved to the dangerous driving state from New south wales in year six.I'm In year nine so I've kind of adapted.
But I'm NOT a derbrain like some of my friends.
My boyfriend says that's good cause he didn't want a stupid chick to date.His old one couldn't spell encyclopedia and she was in year ten!!!
She should read the dictionary(i have - but i'm not a geek!),then maybe she'd be smarter!!

Lol! No offense taken! ;D Min, i haven't been to Edinburgh for new years. I can never seem to afford a trip around that time of year! I think i'll go to London for next new years though. They televised it last year, and aparently the fireworks were better than those in Oz *ducks*  |

How come Great Britain gets 5 options and New Zealand gets lumped in with the "rest of the world"  ?
I agree with Kitten.

I would love to move to New Zealand - the lucios greenery really captures my heart.
Especially in L.O.T.R.
But my aunt has a kiwi boyfriend and we allways mock his accent.
Still,I'm lovin' the greenery!!

It's probably something to do with the breathtaking landscape. I'd love to visit NZ (& Oz) someday, when i can afford to take a month or two off work!
Next time you visit England Miska, why not travel round the Lake District. It sounds like you'd love it!
