I.A.N.S - Italia-Australia Network and Services (IANS) is a network for information exchange and activities to promote, support and develop relationships between Italy and Australia.

I Fiori Blu Sicilia - Thinking of traveling to Sicily and learning Italian. This is the place to start..... you can study in groups or have one on one tution and live with a host family in Sicilia. Click on this link and contact my friend Stefania for more information.

Lou Reed - Well if this is not the coolest web site in the world...................................... I have no idea what the, is..

Mac Forbes Wines - Mac Forbes is a respected Victorian wine maker that approached Jeff to create an image for his 2005 Yarra Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.  He works closely with a few Austrian wine makers and this has influenced his current vintage rieslings, which are well worth a look.

Mountain Goat  Beer - Mountain Goat is a micro brewery in Richmond (inner Melbourne) which started out in a backyard in the early 90’s . Dave and Cam now craft two labels all year round and two seasonal beers. Until recently all bottles were hand filled and capped. Check out their site

Pearl Restaurant - One of Jeff's favourite Melbourne restaurants.

Seataxi - On the island of Favignana a friend of Jeff's runs a boat hire business. This link is to his site, and if your ever there taking a boat to Carla Rossa for the day is a must.

You Tube - This is the most amazing free expression of the modern age. Individuals the world over film themselves, their friends or strangers, make clips and music and then put it on youtube for the world to see. Some times boring, often funny this can kill hours of time you don't have, but it's better than TV.
