Thanks for the info.
Our tourist board, being a government run organisation, wouldn't have
the gumption to do otherwise.
They don't even have enough pride to have their web site with an
Australian web address as they host their site from Washington.
(Australia.com and not Australia.com.au)
It wouldnt surprise me if they thought that that having to enter the
extra .au would be too difficult for the average American.
Studies have shown that, in USA, the same site name with a .com gets
100 times the hits of a .com.anythingelse, even when the name is that
of a foriegn country!
