RE: DBA's salary range for Down Under

When I was in Australia last year, we did a 4 day cruise out of Cairns to the Great Barrier Reef.. it was wonderful.

We were in Brisbane for the conference, I didn't make it down to Sydney, Brisbane is a lovely city as well.

The people we met there were consistently pleasant, cheerful and helpful. Lovely country, hellish (unfortunately) trip to get there -- I don't sleep on planes, and it was 17+ hours from LA.
