Oprah promotes Aust in her first show
Tuesday, December 14, 2010
Oprah Winfrey has begun the first of her Aussie shows by declaring the world must visit Australia.
Bouncing on to a special stage at the Sydney Opera House forecourt in an orange dress, Winfrey shook hands with fans and danced to Men At Work's Land Down Under.
'I ... Love ... Australia!' she called out several times to the delighted crowd.
'To the rest of the world watching, you've got to come to Australia,' she said for the benefit of the US and international audience who will view her shows next year.
Kanga is on Holiday.

But she won't stay in the north Queensland city long.
After refuelling and satisfying customs officials, her jet will head to Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays where Winfrey will meet up with 300 studio audience members she's brought along for the ride.
Winfrey announced she was flying her studio audience to Australia as a way of wrapping up her 25th and final season in grand style.
Melbourne Considered Tourism Gem
Saturday, October 23, 2010
A survey has found Melbourne is considered the best Australian city for sporting and cultural events.
Guess which Australian city a survey commissioned by the Victorian government has determined the most popular domestic tourist destination?
The Roy Morgan 2010 Brand Health Survey of between 1200 and 1400 people across the country has found Melbourne is considered the best Australian city for sporting and cultural events, food, bars and shopping.
The survey was commissioned by Tourism Victoria.
Premier John Brumby and Tourism Minister Tim Holding visited Puffing Billy in Melbourne's outer east to promote the research on Saturday.
'Ten years ago Sydney was Australia's leading city but things are very different today - Melbourne now leads Sydney on all major indicators in the survey,' Mr Brumby said.
Mr Holding said tourism was worth close to $16 billion to Victoria's economy.
In the year to June, Melbourne had 708,000 more interstate overnight visitors than Sydney, he said.

Spring is here and time to organise your holiday.
Use the online facilty for booking it saves time and money and allows you to compare costs and facilities all in one area.
Must admit technology is moving very fast and one of our very professional helpers Uli is visiting family in Germany.
Not able to let her rest for too long and have given her access to my computer in Australia to make Web site changes.
What a great idea and it is easy to see the future with more staff able to work at home or overseas.
Thank you Uli for keeping your special work going athough we did miss your happy face.

The Sydney Melbourne Coastal Drive now has maps for all the sections and you must take a trip down this road it has scenery and beaches to suit all.
Looking for markets and events in Victoria, well these have been updated with the farmers markets proving to be very popular.
Accommodation booking is moving well and people are already organising their Christmas stays so dont leave it too late to find the place of your choice.
Keep those emails coming we love to have your ideas to improve the site and comments of what has been done.
Happy to make changes if you have some good ideas.

I have returned from spending two great years traveling around Australia.
What a great country !
On my return I requested the team who have the website www.gippslandinfo.com.au to extend their site from Gippsland and Victoria to the whole of Australia.
A big task but with my help, accommodation for the major areas in Australia have been completed with a new search engine created by Bryan and his team used with no booking fee attached.
The new search over Australia has a system showing availability for the dates required.
A saving of time and giving immediate answers rather than wait up to 24 hours.
This system will also extended to Victoria as operators convert
After using this new search we also decided to update our original search for Gippsland and Victoria.
Operators who keep availability up to date are showing at the top marked as BE.
Enjoy the changes on the site and any comments please email.
admin@gippslandinfo.com.au who will also let me know what you think.
