the weather
"proper" barbies
miles and miles and miles of space with nobody in it (apart from a few sheep)
beaches you can only dream of
the Great Barrier Reef
those boots with elasticated sides (I bought a pair there and wore it to bits in about 12 years - I know you can get them here, but they are a different make and not as good!)

Ina - do you mean the RM Williams boots?? We ordered some from Australia (yes I know.... boot miles) and they were cheaper than you can buy them for over here... and yes, they do last for ages and ages. Nice clothes too.
