So, having troubles understanding what your Australian buddies are talking about? We put together an Australian to American vocab listing.  It is not huge but it may help you in your travels. Enjoy!  Have a look.  Thanks Di and Ken!!!
 
Are you moving to Alice Springs? We do not live there anymore but remember how much we wanted this information. Check out my new list page, it shows Churches, schools, ISPs, TV schedules, movie schedules....it is all here!!!

 
Hey, something new.  I just added a distance, liquid and dry measurement, and temperature conversion page for all to use or print off.  Also, I added a page that shows what time it is around the United States in comparison to Alice Springs, and a time zone chart. Enjoy.

Weather in central Australia with monthly highs/lows and rain.  Coming here, come check out the weather. Taking tours with sunsets being a factor, here are the times sunrise, sunset for 2008.

I know, everyone thinks that spiders here are all deadly. Here is a short list with descriptions, sizes, and comments on what sort of illness they cause. If you get bitten and are in doubt about what kind it is, get medical attention. Added Photos! And now for the first time ever, I am going to put a link on my page. I know, I never do this. But it is another personal, non-profit
site that is just better than mine for spider photos. Welcome Steve with his Spidey info.




You keep coming back to the Lamson Adventures. This site is 8 years old. We are not going anywhere.
Go Lamsons!
