Personally speaking, if you really want to hang out with Paul Hogan, you better remember to get off the plane in LA -as I'm pretty sure he lives there now.
Don't want you wasting another 15 hours stuck in a vibrating tube having bad movies broadcast over the inflight 'entertainment' system (when I came here last I got to enjoy "Prairie Home Companion" - twice ( yes it was hell, thank you very much). . . and then miss out on meeting the man.
But yeah -- like I said, buying anything in a tabloid that even is honest enough to use a '?' in the headline --- is probably up there with buying the Brooklyn Bridge.
Pip, if you come, bring lots of money -as it isn't cheap and unlike a few years ago... the Australian dollar is now worth about 106 US cents... an example, a case of beer costs, generally upwards of A$40. (Which includes such mundane stuff as Bud), a 600 mil bottle of Coke is over A$3. . .
That being said, I'm sure Tourism Australia would love for you to come with your money ... and remember seasons here are reversed to there ... your Winter is our Summer.
