Does anyone know of an internet address for Woomera ?  I am trying to find
someone there to e-mail with, since I'll be moving to that area.  The address
may be military or civilian, I'm not picky.  I will be associated with the US
Air Force when I get there.  Thanks for any info anyone can provide.

Sorry, but I can't help with a Sydney number, although I assume that one
probably exists. All I had was the blurb which I transcribed to the net. I
suggest that you contact Telecom (directory?), quote them the Melbourne number
and ask if there is an equivalent in Sydney.

I don't know what the "nbstime" number in the States provides, however, the
Telecom one provides the date and time at one second intervals for a brief
period. (10-20 secs) The format is:

YYY-MM-DD<space>HH:MM:SS *<CR><LF>
                                 (1200 V.22, 1 start, 8 data, 1 stop, no parity)

See my previous post for further details...

Maybe in the eastern states, but I've been a casual on-air operator
with Ten in Perth for 18 months, and we try to keep to within 10
seconds of the scheduled times. (we have a link to the atomic clock to
keep accurate time) I think 9 and 7 also try to do this, locally.

Having read the large looseleaf book that they provide I would prefer
that they be called the "Old wives tales association" or if Speilberg
is a member, "The breast strikes back".
They keep on trying to make out that breast fed children are more healthy
but this effect is due to the colostrum which is only available
in the first few feeds and is not destroyed by the childs gastric
acids in the first 24 hours after birth (full term).
This association seems to be run by a group of very committed mothers
who may well have their hearts in the right place, but have the
place where their brains should be rather vacant. You get such wide ranging
information from these people that it just isn't worth it, things like
"drink two jugs of water each day" (at which point my wife vomitted)
to "oh, no, you should only drink one jug, who told you 2?" Since
when has anything that has been researched used the new S.I. measure
of the JUG?

>2. The World Health Organisation are also pretty smart people. I have
>trouble believing the few posts that seemed to say "Who are WHO,

Actually WHO are rather mediocre, their major claim to fame is
that despite the inefficient bureaucracy that they have become, they
have some very committed field workers who actually accomplish things
of benefit. The administration has been able to gather the world together
on a few occasions to try to eradicate some major diseases, some with
temporary success, although there have been a number of recent small
scale outbreaks of these diseases.

How about we do it another way, no children unless you can afford to raise
them and have an IQ above that of the average in the Nursing Mothers Association.

No, it sounds like NuSkin.  But guessing is futile, guys.  There are
2000+ networking/multi-level companies out there.  You're not going it
pick it that easily.  Except that on reflection it couldn't be Amway
anyhow because Amway is already open in Australia and NZ.

On the election day, the ALP admitted losing the election by 2100.
However, by that time not all the votes were counted. Today, I read the
paper, it appeared to me that not all votes are counted. Thus, can
anyone on the net tell me :

1. Is it the normal practice here to stop counting the votes once a
definite winner is identified?

2. Some people said that they need to put perferences on the ballot
paper. Under what circumstance(s) will the 2nd, or 3rd preferences be
counted? And how does it work, then?

3. Is the same vote counting method empolyed for all state and the
federal elections?

These questions may be simple to Aussie, but I'm not an Australian.
Thanks.

There's an international marketing company (US based)
that's opening in Australia and New Zealand in the next
few months. They're a top-notch company with outstanding
products, and in the US many people have done very well
financially working as independent distributors. It's
hard work, but very enjoyable and can be as part-time
or as full-time as you like - the potential is just
tremendous.  I'll be glad to provide more details if

Its "legend quest" I believe. It runs for about 10-15 minutes I
