Hello All.

I'm primarily updating this journal to ask you all a question.

I recently read an article [link] that claimed Australia is dropping in international visitors' "To Visit" lists. Suggestions were that it's too expensive, too dangerous, too boring, too politically correct and the locals too rude.

So a question for my international followers.

Is Australia on your "To Visit" list? I realise it's expensive to get here (flights, visas etc), but if that weren't the issue, would Australia be on that list?

Why? Why not? Were you ever of the impression that Australians are rude? That there is too much crime in our cities? That our countryside & cities are boring?

Add any other impressions you had of Australia or things you might have heard from friends who have been here.
