Welcome to DOWNunder UPdates, the new Australia Newsletter from BellaOnline.com.
Before we get into the new article and other fun stuff, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.

I'm Michelle Mangio, the new Australia Editor at BellaOnline.com. While I'm not from Australia (I am, in fact, from New England), I am deeply in love with Australia and the South Pacific - and want to share my enthusiasm and knowledge of this wonderful country with you. When not writing for BellaOnline, I'm mommy to two wonderful young boys, wife to a loving husband, and owner & president of Magical Escapes Vacations. As a travel agent, I am also a Premier Aussie Specialist, and was honored this year to win the Tourism Australia OPAL AWARD for Best FIT (Fully Independent Travel) Itinerary. I love to help my clients experience unforgettable vacations Down Under, and I hope through my articles to give you insight into all the amazing places to be found in this "Land of Oz."

But enough about me!

Here's the latest article from the Australia site at BellaOnline.com.
