Everyone always asks me why I came to London...

Living in Australia, you are so isolated from the rest of the world, and lets face it, the whole of Europe is in your backyard! Make the most of it! Spend £££ like they are going out of fashion. Veto Top Shop! TRAVEL!!! See the world, make the most of what you have... tomorrow you might drop dead, live life without regret, at least I can say I've seen it, done it, loved it, hated it, orchestrated it! :)

Goodbye London...

Well, I've been in London since August 2005, and now it's time to go... hopefully I'll be back, I'm not done with London yet! There's too much which I haven't done... all those galleries that I took for granted, all those nightclubs yet to be graced with my presence, all those sights that I'm yet to see... I'll just have to come back in April! :)

Ooh so what's this magic penny business?

Magic pennies are bestowed on you by the Islandoo gods for various reasons. At the moment, people have been given pennies for their activity on the site, and as a bonus to getting an audition. They are a gift, to be given only to people who you think are deserving. Unlike fanning, magic pennies are limited, you need to think about who you are giving them to and why... they will become a currency on Islandoo - the more you have - the more you stand out. Fair play, they have value only when you give em away! :) YAY!

So what should I write in this here empty box? I know! The differences in Aussie and British words...

Sweets are called lollies... this leads one to say, what's a lolly then? A lolly, is a lolly pop... An iced lolly is an icey pole... Crisps are chips... so what are hot chips called... HOT CHIPS... Vegemite is superior to marmite/promite or any other mite on the market... you have not lived until you taste CHICKEN SALT.

Why you should go to Australia... if you don't get Shipwrecked... other than logical reasons mentioned above.

I think travel is a great way to open your eyes and your mind to the amazing world that we live in. So many people walk around with their eyes closed to all the fantastic opportunities that life presents to us. Get out there!

Don't take yourself too seriously

People are more perceptive than you give them credit for. Use this opportunity to form genuine relationships with people, and show the producers who you are. At the end of the day, getting the audition is not the same as going on Shipwrecked! You're only halfway there! You still have to drop everything in your life - your family, your friends, your job, your relationships - then you need to pass a psychological test and a medical, and haul your arse onto a plane. Can you do it? Can you afford it? Do you want it? Can you taste it?
