Chorus
Don't have to be in order if you don't want to.
Answer
1 Michael Voss - Endless A A captaincies, captaining 3 flags, its hard to find a greater player than this.
2 Chris Judd- He is now a shadow of his former self, but I was watching highlights of him in 04-07 and he was like something you just dont see in today`s game, so quick, amazing.
3. Adam Goodes- its an amazing achievement for someone to win a Brownlow, that gives them merrit to be in the best side alone, but to win 2 brownlows in the decade? You have to be one of the best.
4. Nathan Buckley, from 00-03 we was an outstanding leader, its a shame he suffered from injury that last few seaons of his career.
5. Ben Couins- When he was with the Eagles he was unbelievable, so important to the WCE success, one of the best players to ever play.
6. Jason Akamanis - A Brownlow and handfull of all Australians, a massive highlight reel and was extremly important in the success to the greatest team of all time.
7 James Hird- I wasnt a hige fan of this guy, but should have easily won the brownlow in 03 if he stayed healthy, captained a great team in 00, its hard not to have him in there.
8. Simon Black- Probably the most underated player you could think of, Brownlow medalist, plenty of all Australians and a very consistant, hard running and fair player.
9. Mark Ruciuto( Spelling) Was an outstanding player and leader for the crows in 00-05, such a strong player that had amazing skills and was very hard at it.
10. Andrew Macloed- Its hard to imagine this guy hasnt won a Brownlow, he has however been All Australian a number of times, including having the captaincy. when he was in his prime he was such a dangerous running midfielder, absoloute superstar.
Im a WB supporter BTW and dont really have any of thier players in there (aka is in on his brisbane form)
I would have liked to have thrown in richo and maybe scott west, brad johnson and maybe a pavlich but there wasnt enough spots.
Cheers.

Planning a trip to Australia for a month. Any suggestions of where I should stay or what I should do?

Is there a certain time of the year I should go? Thanks*
Answer
It really depends on what you like. Are you into partying, arts / culture, nature...
I would choose to come between March and October (approximately) as summer is really hot and can be very wet in northern parts of Australia (Queensland and Northern Territory and sometimes Western Australia)
Attached is a list and some internet sites. I couldn't put heaps on but you can search for them in a search engine
Queensland (http://www.sunloverholidays.com.au/, http://www.queenslandholidays.com.au/)
Brisbane (http://www.ourbrisbane.com/)
The City Cats (ferry) on the Brisbane River are a pleasant way of getting around and will get you around to a few places. Also pleasant at night especially in warmer weather.
There are a number of parks / open spaces in or near the CBD and several not far out. Roma Street Parklands is a pleasant walk. There are two Botanical Gardens â one in the city and one at Mt Coot-tha (about 20 minutes by bus) Planeterium can also be found at the later. New Farm Park provides a lovely place for a picnic and the kids to run around. Further out try the Boondall Wetlands especially if you like bird watching. Above Mt Coot-tha is a lookout
Southbank Parklands has open space, childrenâs playgrounds, BBQ areas, a beach, restaurants and cafes, shops and is surrounded by the Maritime Museum, the Cultural Centre (which encompasses the Performing Arts Centre, Queensland Museum, Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art and State Library).
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary allows you to meet Australian animals in a controlled environment â they specialise in Koalaâs obviously. Newstead House is the oldest house in existence in Brisbane and is supposedly haunted.
Moreton Bay / Redland Bay / Bribie Island
There are a number of Islands and bay cruises. Stradbroke, Moreton and others offer overnight and longer stays from camping to resort accomodation. St Helena Island was once a convict settlement for the worst of the worst. Day and night tours are available.
Gold Coast (~1 hour south of Brisbane) There are numerous beaches. Surfers Paradise is the âfamousâ beach. However it is also the most touristy and it is probably best to go further south (Burleigh comes to mind but there are others) There are several fun parks including Dream World, Sea World, Movie World and Wet âN Wild. Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary has a large variety of Australian animals and is best known for the wild rainbow lorikeets that come in to feed in the morning and afternoon. There are other attractions including the viewing platform on the Q1 building, Infinity, a wax museum, putt putt golf, thrill rides are also available.
Behind the Gold Coast is the Lamington National Park and you can stay at Binna Burra or OâReillyâs (http://www.oreillys.com.au/). There is also The Natural Arch and Mt Tamborine. Northern NSW Byron Bay and it's Lighthouse, Mt Warning...
Sunshine Coast (~1 hour north of Brisbane) Has plenty of beaches and natural areas including the Glass House Mountains and Noosa Nationals Park. Underwater World and Australia Zoo are the wildlife places.
Darling Downs
Toowoomba is the heart of farming for South East Queensland. They have a gardening festival each year around September. Jondaryan Woolshed has a historical display (and festival around August) with displays on farming and shearing from days gone by.
Coastal Queensland
Fraser Island.
Hervey Island during whale watching season.
There are a number of island and island systems such as Dunk Island, Hayman Is, Heron Is and the Whitsunday Islands.
Cairns and area includes Kuranda is a lovely little place just outside of Cairns and Green Island is out on the Great Barrier Reef. The Atherton Tablelands is lovely. Try Millaa Millaa, Atherton, the lava tubes and the ruins. Wallaman Falls near Ingham. Tyto Wetlands.
Inland Central
Longreach has the Stockmanâs Hall of Fame and QANTAS museum, and Winton the Waltzing Matilda Centre. There are tours and farm stays available including tours to dinosaur remains and tracks.
