Seems to be about the farthest I can get away from here yet still be
on Planet Earth and in a first world country.

Anybody ever been there? Anybody know how I can get there and how they
treat immigrants?

Can't say but you might ask the aborigines what they think of their
immigrants.

Would you settle for Perth Amboy?

Not sure if I want to go to Australia. It seems scary.

If it ain't box jellyfish, it's snakes. If it ain't snakes, it's trap
door spiders. If it ain't trap door spiders, it's drop bears. You

I have relatives - a niece and her family - who moved to Perth, Oz, two
or three years ago. It's not box jellyfish, snakes, trap door spiders or
drop bears. It's man-eating sharks. Half the family have taken life
guard/rescue training; they live four blocks from a major surfing beach.
There's regular helicopter surveillance offshore the beach, and every
now and then the beaches are closed to swimming and surfing because of
sharks. They get great white, tiger and bull sharks. So far, none of my
relatives have been eaten, and they're very happy in Perth.

And as Heather reminded us, year-round mosquitoes -- the scariest of
them all.
