Shepparton 5
A disconnected society with a lot of people who are of lower social economic stature. At the other end of the scale there are people who seem to have lots of money. These people are so into themselves that they don't get what is really happening out there, or is that the way it is these days. I feel that the town is on a downward trend because of factory closures or down sizing due to the greed of a few. Then again its a lot like any mid western American town with not many prospects for the future as far as jobs go for the young people. Too much late night alcohol consumption, to much racism towards anyone who is a bit different and the only thing it has that make people want to come here is shopping. BORING. Shepparton has a reputation Australia wide as being not somewhere that is...

Port Douglas 10
Beautiful, Gorgeous, Paradise. These words are the only inescapable things in Port Douglas, QLD. AUS. A definite "MUST STAY" during your holliday to the Great Barrier Reef. One hour north of Cairns, and host to the only place on Earth with TWO World Heritage "JEWELS" the G.B.R. in the Coral Sea & the Daintree Rainforest on the Cape of Tribulation. Whether on the picturesque palm lined Four Mile Beach, hiking along the crystal clear creeks of Mossman Gorge, or snorkeling amidst Giant Clams of Bait Reef. Port Douglas is home to Wonderful people, great food, excellent golfing and resorts all wrapped in an underwater treasure chest of fun, beauty, relaxation, & emancipation.
