as far as sydney-siders go, they reckon if it's anywhere past the blue mountains then it may as well be a foreign country! :+P Perth in Western Australia is the most isolated capital city in the world too btw. As well as holding the record for most land areaper head of popluation - we like to spread out. :+P The biggest laugh I ever had was some Danish people asked me where thye could go to see things when they visited Sydney. On their list was Monkey Mia (west coast) for the dolphins, Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the Great Barrier Reef - all of whivh are separated by 100's and 100's of miles. They were most disappointed when I told them it might take them 4 - 5 weeks to drive around in their rental and see all that theu wanted! Considering that you can cross the whole of Denmark in about 5 hours...!
