Cpl Ledanek Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Yes, you can buy per-paid cards...$10 $20 $50 etc... meaning... once you use up the value of the card in calls, you need to buy another one. can you recommend a reliable pre-paid cellphone?

Metal_Jacket Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 You can use your own Cell Phone, all you do is buy the pre-paid sim card. If you don't own a cell, you'll probably be better off buying one before you leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Ledanek Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I know Billabong is one famous T-shirt company for surfing. What is another uniquely Australian T-shirt company that you must buy when in Australia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal_Jacket Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 There are various brands for you to choose from to bring back home at the end of your trip…but …what ever you do, don’t bring home one of these… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpl Ledanek Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 here is our Melbourne Gallery Like most tourist, we were surprised on the Asian presence in the city of Melbourne. Even though I know Oz is an Asian Country. It's not all Paul Hogan and Olivia Newton John. Which was excellent for us...it was easy to find Asian Food. We followed Tony Bourdain's advice and ask College students where they eat. And soon enough, we found a dive where food is DELICIOUS!!!! and cheap. I don't recommend this if you want the full Aussie experience. If you want that experience try the Aussie Burger (comes with egg, pineapple, mango, beet, THICK slice tomato, cole slaw) on a thick healthy bread...worth AUS $9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Ledanek Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Alice Springs Gallery This is where we stayed for our Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park visit. I say 2nd best spot to visit for me and wife. Cairns/ Great Barrier Reef is first for me. To visit compares to seeing the Grand Canyon to me IMHO. It gives you a certain perspective on where you fit in the universe. Most tourist complaints about, being on a holiday, why should we wake up 4:45 A.M. to see these rocks. The minute you get a base color of Uluru, you get a sensation that you're about to witness that no where else can be it experienced. I set my mini-tripod and took pics every 5 minutes. Minute by minute you do not see with the naked eye the change, but once the full sun comes out, then you'll you see. After reviewing our pics, you can see the changes in color. To stand next to it, humbles you. We had two morning breakfast, and two sunset dinners with various tourist and that was a great learning experience itself. The Camel Ride was fun too. Highly recommend that experience since you get to see the Sunrise on a higher POV. I'm uploading to YouTube a Coriolis Effect in Australia. After watching this, compare your water sink rotation. Not toilet water, use a sink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpl Ledanek Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 one of the most cleanest cities we've visited. maybe encountered two rude teenagers, other than that, everyone was so nice and pleasant. even those unlikely characters (big thug-looking guys and old grumpy grandmas ) we're very helpful. my favorite phrase now: "no worries" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan243 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I was feeling nostalgic so I decided to see if ghostrecon.net still existed. Of course I had to check in here. I miss this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
