Welcome to the DOWNunder UPdate Newsletter from the Australia site at Bellaonline – The Voice of Women.

We are enjoying a very pleasant autumn here at present and for those Aussies that live in the southern states, the autumn leaves are putting on a great show this year. Unfortunately those who live in the north miss out on this change of seasons completely, and I for one am sorry that we don’t experience the great colours of the season, here in Brisbane.

Last week I wrote an article on the Great Barrier Reef – in particular snorkelling on the reef. I had the wonderful pleasure of being able to do just that a number of years ago, and can thoroughly recommend it. Here’s the link to that article: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art64245.asp

Don’t forget, the Australia forum is there for your entertainment and contribution. Here’s the link for you to make your comment: http://forums.bellaonline.com/ubbthreads.php/forums/315/1/Australia

Here’s a selection of Aussie papers for you to catch up on the national and local news:

Cheerio for now
