It's fairly cheap to Visit Aus right now. Qantas.com has flights from LA to Sydney for about $900 US, and they have this cool travelpass thing where you get to do a loop of 3 other cities in Aus for as low as US$999.

The V8 Supercars proposed round at China's Shanghai International Circuit in June next year has to be rescheduled after it was rejected by the Federation of Automobile Sports of China (FASC).
V8 Supercars Australia has been told the proposed date of June 10-12 does not suit the Chinese calendar and that the FASC had informed the world governing body Federation Internationale de L'Automobile (FIA) to withdraw it from the 2006 calendar.
Australian officials remain optimistic the round will still go ahead after making a spectacular debut at the circuit earlier this year.
