Went to see this movie this evening with Sandy. Firstly I’m not the one who ‘into’ drama movie but the name ‘Australia’ got me to the cinema.
For 2.5 hours of joy, sad and romantic. Feel that it end too soon. You can call me bias that I recommend this movie to everyone. At least, it is a must for those who fascinated by this country.
Australia has asked Indonesia’s navy to help stop thieves from stealing buoys which will be part of an Indian Ocean tsunami warning system.
Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology spokesman Geoff Love told a parliamentary hearing on Tuesday that Canberra plans to place two tsunami-warning buoys later this year in international waters between Australia and Indonesia.
“We are negotiating an agreement with the Indonesian government to make sure that they don’t become the victims of pirates and scrap metal collectors,” Love told the hearing.
Australia and the United States are helping to build the tsunami early warning system after a magnitude 9.15 earthquake off the Indonesian island of Sumatra killed up to 230,000 people around the Indian Ocean rim on December 26, 2004.
“We’ve found automatic weather stations for sale in Hong Kong and don’t want that to happen again,” he said.

These Qantas advertise series spans several years. I watch the first one when I study over there. After the big success, couple follows. All of them still capture my heart.
Got the story from Duncans.tv The full history of this advertise can be read from here. The song itself was written by Peter Allen which more can find in Wikipedia.
The Qantas campaign, I Still Call Australia Home, is one of the frontrunners for the top Australian television campaigns of all time. Running from 1997 through to 2004, the campaign has linked together Australians living at home with those traveling or living overseas. Beginning with a range of Australian musicians, the campaign has come to be associated with the Australian Girls Choir and National Boys Choir.
The campaign began in 1997 with a three-minute commercial featuring trumpeter James Morrison, Kate Ceberano, James Blundell and other popular singers singing Peter Allens song, I still call Australia home. In the background are scenes from around the world and Australia. The shot finishes with a Boeing 747 and the words, QANTAS The Australian Airline.
Lyrics for I Still Call Australia Home
Note that the original lyric has Rio rather than Rome. However Qantas doesnt fly to Rio.
Ive been to cities that never close down from New York to Rome and old London town, but no matter how far or how wide I roam I still call Australia home.
Im always traveling, I love being free, and so I keep leaving the sun and the sea, but my heart lies waiting over the foam. I still call Australia home.
All the sons and daughters spinning round the world, away from their family and friends, but as the world gets older and colder, its good to know where your journey ends.
But someday well all be together once more when all of the ships come back to the shore. Then I realise something Ive always known. I still call Australia home.
