A man stopped by our work today and ask if he could rest himself and his horse in the barn where we have our calf. My SO told him sure. They were talking and he is from Australia. He is involved with problem horses, has wrote a book, is a motivational speaker, and several other things. He is riding across our country on horseback. He has a website www.joeguylongrider.com . After he left our office to go to the barn I checked out his site and was excited that I had the pleasure of meeting someone from another country who has so many interesting stories. Anyway, I was excited and wanted to share and here's a pic. BTW I love their accent.

Yeah that was my childhood dream, too many episodes of Five Mile Creek. I got to spend the day with several famous Aussies once, and had a penpal there for a while. That really ehlped me not be quite so desperate to go there, but I still think it'd be awesome to go when I am rich someday!
 
What a neat experience! Send him my way to Virginia! I'd love some Aussie company.

For those who posted about wanting to do, I hope you get the chance some day. I know I am bias being Australian but it is an incredible country. My FIL came with us 3 years ago to Australia to visit my family there. He was 69 at the time and had always dreamed of going. We made him stop talking about it and actually do it. He still talks about his trip and how he wants to go back.

Don't convince yourself you'll never get the chance to go. MAKE yourself go if you really want to. Even if it means saving a couple of dollars a week. The end result will be well worth it.

Sorry to hijack the thread!

Don't be sorry. There was no hijacking that I can see. I love stories about different places. My ex husband and I had the opportunity to go around 17-18 years ago for a construction job but my mom didn't want us to go because I was pregnant with her 1st grandchild and she was afraid I would stay there.
