I lived, traveled, and worked in Australia for a year! For half of the year, I lived in Sydney and worked at a health food store for several months. When I wasn't in Sydney, I was seeing the rest of the country from the road, beginning in Cooktown in tropical north Queensland and moving clockwise to Perth, including Tasmania. Along the way, I wrote how-to articles as well as reflective posts on TheresNoPlaceLikeOz.com using WordPress and contributed articles and guest posts to other travel websites.http://theresnoplacelikeoz.com
