Aussies prefer LA

[AztekLabel]

Almost 400,000 Aussies visited Los Angeles last year.

How many Aussies visit Thailand per year does anyone know??

seen the FX rates lately ?

[FailSafe]

How is that determined, though? LAX is a major international hub, and they're probably counting customs/immigration clearances- I would imagine a substantial number of those tourists are hopping on planes for other destinations within the US (not to say that LA doesn't have a lot of tourist potential).

[sabang]

I'd say the recent upsurge is to do with the fact that the US is a cheap place to visit for Aussie's, these days. It would probably cost you more for a holiday in Nth Queensland, or Sydney. Going to Bali or Phuket is heaps cheaper than a beach holiday in Oz.

They want to visit Mel Gibson, Russell Crowe, et al.

Click the link an Aussie Council General agrees with the numbers...

I think the Authentic Mexican food is the reason!! lol

I always ran into Aussies in LA never thought there were that many in LA in 1 year!

^^ Strangely, Errol Flynn was a real Aussie (well, Tasmanian)- but Hollywood concocted some bullshit about him being Irish.

Pretty good reason- the faux Mexican in Oz is even more shite than actual Tex-Mex.

Aussies have infiltrated all parts of American society
Even country music see Keith Urban...

[Submaniac]

The 400,000 ausies are following Mel Gibson, and nicole kidman and are all australian actors attempting to be movie stars.

[Humbert]

LA is a good starting point for a trip around the American west; the California coast, San Francisco, the wine country, Yosemite, Las Vegas, The Grand Canyon. Then there is always Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Universal City, Disneyland and the beaches close in to LA. Great destination.

February 10th, 2012 - Music lovers will be flocking to Bangkok next month in order to attend Summer Night with Olivia Newton-John, a showcase for a true icon of the film and music industries.

The English-born star will be performing at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Center on March 23rd 2012 at 20:00 local time as part of her Asian tour for 2012.

tex mex ughhh I never eat Tex Mex, California Mexican and Texas Mexican food can be a world apart... Errol Flynn great actor, Hollywood changed allot of peoples names and back grounds to make them seem more appealing..

Id say if you really are visiting LA you might be able to squeeze in a trip to LV probably not SF unless you fly up and back in a day..

Yosemite would be a stretch on a vacation to LA, also being that many times you need reservations to stay there now.

My friend teaches at the High School where Grease was filmed in the silver lake part of LA I believe...

So when are we going into business together HappyNZ?



From what ive heard from people who have been to both places Cali and OZ

LA > Sydney
SF > Melbourne
San Diego > Perth
Yosemite > Alice Springs
Malibu > Bondi

Anywhere is cheaper than Australia at the moment. Its seriously fuked up dudes but its great if you got a fist full of dollars and a rock solid bank account.

[AztekLabel]

Is it because everything has to be shipped in? I know OZ is pretty far from many vegetable growing countries and land locked to no other country..

I realize how lucky I am in this part of the U.S. I bought a head of lettuce for 33 cents, and a gallon of milk for around $1.50 where in other parts of the U.S. it can go for over $4

[LooseBowels]

Aussies prefer A ?,.......oh LA

Must get me eyes tested.

Prolly right first time though
