Hi Krystyna here is a little trivia for you.
As of April 2013, the estimated population of Australia is 22,994,689. (From
http://wiki.answers.com/)
I don't really think we are small. lol We DON'T have kangaroos and koalas in our back yards as pets and we don't all live on farms as in "the outback". Yes, I get asked that quite often so I don't mean to offend anyone who thinks that lol. Just a little bit of fun here.
I live near the beach in a coastal large town. We have aprox 320,000 people in my small city. (prob more as these are old stats.)

We don't have different acsents like the US or English do. (No pun intended)
If anyone wants to find out more just ask me or have a look at this site...says it all.

By the way I do know Lyn on the board but only through the swaps. She lives like 3-4 days driving from me and over an ocean.lol I also buy a lot of my quilting fabric from the US. Quilting isn't all that big here but the fabric is very very expensive at the few quilt shops around. Hope I've enlightened you all Yawn Yawn WAKE UP NOW!!!
