CLOUDS

And I learned something else after looking at the Bureau of Meteorology website -- there is a Cloud Appreciation Society with over 28,000 members. If you've ever looked up and thought, "Nice clouds today - look an elephant!", have a look at http://cloudappreciationsociety.org/

    Hi Shyfig

    Entries must be of Australian landscapes and skies (as opposed to landscapes and skies from another country).

    In answer to your question about territories: Australia has six states and ten territories including the Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory (where Canberra is located). Norfolk Island is an Australian territory and I'm hoping one day I'll be able to visit Australia's Antarctic Territory.

    You'll find more details and the names of Australia's other territories at:
