I don't know which is actually first. But your probably right about it being the
US. But I live in Canada and I would be surprised if it weren't a close second.

North Australia is an amazing place, and so is inland of course (but it's
mostly desert area, although of course you could go and see that chunk of
rock that everyone talks about so much ;-)
The rainforests here are amazing too, especially in the Bunya Mountain
regions, and also down south (what am I talking about? Australia *IS* down
south!!! ;-) on the Blue Mountain ranges...
The Great Barrier Reef is an incredible place, I really recommend it if you
ever get the chance :)
Actually, speaking of that, it somewhat reminds me of the effects in Riven
of the reefs... hey were very well done, looked to me like some kind of
depth density work too... Anyone know how that was achieved?

Yeah, I'd like to go there, too. My great-aunt lives near Sydney... It's
just so damn far from here!
