it'll have to top a $1.50/l before anyone cries out too loudly and then we'll get used to it! i reckon it will have to go a lot higher before people start changing their holiday arrangements.
oonce, first I must say that i ahve a strong affection for Australia having spent most of 1970 -71 being young in your country. There are some similarities between you and Canada as well, even tho you are mostly hot desert and we are mostly cold desert. While holiday travel is discretionary I think we need to focus on the daily business oriented travel for indications that things are changing. In the greater Toronto area we have huge commutter road traffic and much of the design is typical vehicle oriented. However governments are beginning to invest in transit on a regional scale. It wont help those of us in the exburbs but is a subtle change. However I don't think most people will switch from personal vehicles until we suffer on the income side, not the cost side. Unfortunately, and I mean that seriously, this suffering seems to be scheduled to begin in a few months.
All the best for rain in the Murray!
