Hello there. It’s time for the DOWNunder UPdate Newsletter from the Australia site at Bellaonline. Last week I posted an article about a rather unusual phenomenon that occurs in Australia only at certain times of the year. The event is called the Staircase to the Moon. Tourists from all over the world flock to the various locations to see what all the fuss is about. Here’s a link to that article: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art20734.asp

For those of you who are interested in catching up with Australian news over the past week, here’s some links to popular newspapers.

I found some interesting stuff on the web for you this week. It all has something to do with Australia. I hope you enjoy.

Well, that’s all from me for this week. I hope you have a great week coming up and I’ll pop in again during the middle of next week.

Cheerio for now
