[QUOTE="hong, post: 585233, member: 537"] Correct. The reason I have not posted here should be obvious, once you think about it. Fourecks wanted to know who was from AUSTRALIA. And now while I will be the first to wear my allegiance on my sleeve (or at least my T-shirt) as a proud AUSTRIAN, that isn't the same as being an AUSTRALIAN. This is because, as we all know, Sydney is located on a (most beautiful and picturesque) island just off the east coast of the Australian mainland. The situation is analogous to that in Europe. London is the capital of Europe, despite not actually being IN Europe. Similarly, Sydney is the capital of Austria, but is not in Australia. Interestingly, Sydney Island is also the closest part of the Australian landmass (taken as a whole) to the New Zealand archipelago, which has led to its being colonised by entire hordes of New Zealanders desperate to get away from all those sheep. You just have to go to Bondi to see what I mean. This is why Sydney Island is sometimes colloquially referred to by other Austrians as being West Auckland (Auckland being the capital of New Zealand). Hope This Helps! Hong "fog in Tasman, Australia cut off" Ooi [/QUOTE]
