Ah Rob (Partridge).
Yet another person under harbouring the commonly held misconception that
the English are the pommies when, in fact it is those of us Aussies
descended from our early convict colonials who are the poms, the words /
terms being derived from the acronym POME - or Prisoner Of Mother England.
But yes, it is great to see so many Australian cities at the top of the list.
Think I've just struck Port Moresby PNG (the country - not the graphics
format) off my to do list, however.
Cheers,
Michael Granat
