Hey Australians...have a wonderful summer's day off at the beach.  I did a
sabbatical in 1998-99 in Oz and had a great time and a nice publication out of
it to boot.  But are you really independent?  I thought that in the recent
referendum Oz voted to stay under the rule of the Queen?  Crocodile Ponte
