7:00 A.M. Pacific Time, Sunday, July 13th to 10:00 P.M. Pacific Time Monday July 14th, 2008

G'day mates! It's time to go walkabout on our first VFK Australian quest. Australia has so many amazing sights to learn about on our adventures from the Great Barrier Reef to the distinctive Sydney skyline with the famous Sydney Opera House,

We will then trek to the back of Bourke and discover the black stump. From there we can journey to the Aboriginal's most sacred site - Uluru or as others call it Ayers Rock. You will learn ancient Aboriginal legends and discover the name the Aboriginals have for a big party.

Their unique animals such as the boxing kangaroos (careful, they really do box), furry koalas and incredible platypuses are found only in their part of the world. So, pack your vegemite sandwiches, put on your akubra, saddle up your brumby and let's head for the outback for an amazing adventure down under.

Wow ~ flashback!  ROFL! 

I feel the need to break out in song here ...

"He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."


Okay just me, or did anyone else read that line and think of "Men at Work ~ Land Down Under"??  hehehe

Update to the quest

This is what you see when you open the quest window now:


Let's go walk-about and explore VFK's new Australia settings!!

This is the first of a two part Australian Quest, the second part will start at 3:00 PM Pacific time today.

This will give everyone a chance to become familiar with the Australian setting before we start the big quest.


So, if you want to get familiar with the new area by using this "part" of the quest.. best be at it.. it changes to the real one later today as you can see

Wow duck.he - two quests in one day...  Thanks for the information. 

You know I used to love to sing the "Waltzing Matilda" song when I was a kid. I never knew it was about the guy drowning! 

-off to google song lyrics-

[AmberDaze]

Should I wait to do both quests together? Or should I hop to the first one now?

[PrincessWendyBird]

Days, I went ahead and did part one first - just in case. I don't know, I just was afraid part one might not be available later - but I am a worrier.  Or as DS says, "Mom's freaking out again!". 

[RosieC]

Ok! Am I being blonde again or what!?!   I have walked every millimeter of the Australia icon and it does nothing. I've logged in and out of the game several times to try and see if that helps. I see lots of ppl walking on it and disappearing. So  And when I ask how to get to Australia everyone says go to the icon on the map.

Is there a way to walk through vfk to Australia and not use the free.king map?

I guess I'm on walkabout for real today.

For sure, you can't get there walking through vfk.  I tried that first.  Went to the victorian corner, and went right.. like pictured on the map.  Nope!

Sorry you are having trouble using the map.. I did hear a few others had trouble too, not sure how they resolved it

Thanks Princess...I also decided to do the first part already, just in case.

Thanks Duck.he!  Sorry I'm so lazy. I know I could have wandered around and found it but by the time I find things I'm so sore and it takes me forever to finish the quest.
