This provides the perfect opportunity for me to ask a question I've been
wondering about for a little while now...

Why are Aussie newspapers so damn expensive here?  Geeze, I mean, European
dailies are extremely more affordable (if any foreign rags can be said to be
so to begin with), but why the ungodly expense for things from Australia?

Are North American or European publications really pricey in Oz?  

Curious,

Must be the M factor.

Actually, I thought Portland, Oregon, was high up there (equal first
with Melbourne).  (The reason I recall this is that I have lived in
both cities.)


Here in San Diego they keep calling it the nation's "most livable
city."  Compared to downtown Melbourne, San Diego is, unfortunately,
decrepet (sp?).  Many empty buildings, not to mention the large
collection of bums wandering the streets, makes me wonder how this
town, which in places is otherwise quaint and quite pleasant, earned
the label as the nation's most livable city.  A cynic might suggest
that this a sad reflection on the living conditions of American cities
in general, but I would suggest that, more realistically, San Diego
received this reputation on a survey done perhaps 20 years ago.

In comparison to Montreal, Melbourne is a tropical paradise. However I do
suspect that there is a LOT more sunshine, and at least the water isnt liquid
for half of the year.

However they are way off beam anyway -- Montreal is much more like Sydney,
(except I can actually afford the rent), and Toronto is more like Melbourne
(grey, flat, and trams).

Depends which field you want to study in. If you want to work in theoretical
quantum optics, then the Departments of Physics at either the University of
Queensland (Australia), University of Auckland (NZ), Waikato University (NZ)
would be a good bet. The University of Auckland also has a strong Laser group
if you prefer experiment. Of course, these department do other things as well,
its just I dont know exactly what they are. (Guess which field I am in!)

Ross seems to know his stuff, but perhaps he should inform the British High
Commission in Wellington.  The rules I got from them when I applied for a
passport in 1990 clearly stated that having a British born father was grounds
for a passport and I was required to supply my father's birth certificate
(but not my mother's).  Unless I missed some fine print qualification that
father's can be of either sex, it seems pretty sexist to me :-)

Sorry, Tim, can't help you with newspapers in the Stanford area.
However, if you, or any other Aussies are looking for an Australian
newspaper in the San Diego area, UCSD stocks The Melbourne Age in its 
International Relations and Pacific Studies library.  It is usually
about 4-6 weeks late (occasionally they come more quickly), but its
better than nothing.

Well down here in San francisco there is a chain

looks exactly the same except there is nor 'kraft' logo

Well, I can't answer for the world in general, but in my case...

All of the information we had (from guidebooks and local residents) led
us to believe that it would not be a problem at that time of year (late
March).

I also called the terminal to get timetable and fare information; the
person there did not ask me if I wanted to make a reservation or say
