Press Release Summary: Vacationers planning a visit to Australia are now using
internet radio to gather information and travel tips to ensure their holiday is a
success.

Press Release Body: A new internet radio show, "The Sydney Visitor" has recently
been launched, providing "The definitive podcast guide to visiting Sydney
Australia". The show includes tips, events, interviews, information and answers to
questions asked by intending visitors.

"Australia is such a unique destination and there's so much to know that sometimes
you just need some local knowledge to help you along", says Garry Searle, host of
The Sydney Visitor, himself a resident of Sydney. "The Sydney Visitor is all about
answering peoples questions about Sydney and Australia, and doing it an honest and
accessible way".

Searle obviously places a high priority on people being able to access the
information he provides, From the shows website (http://www.thesydneyvisitor.com ),
a browser can listen directly on the page with just one click, they can subscribe to
the show through their choice of 12 different podcatchers, including the popular
itunes directory, or they can download an mp3 file of each episode, and listen to
it later on their ipod or mp3 player.

Searle is quick to emphasise that the technology is not important. "Just think of
podcasts as a radio show that you listen to over the internet. The only difference
is that you don't need to tune in at a certain time to get the episode, just go to
the website any time you like, and listen to as many episodes as you like, at the
time and place that suits you."

When asked about that distinctive Australian accent, Searle admits that some
listeners find it unusual at first. "My accent is thicker than most, as a result of
my childhood in country New South Wales (inland Australia). On the bright side, I
tell listeners that if they can understand my accent on the podcast, they'll have no
problem with other Australians when they get here."
The Sydney Visitor, the definitive podcast guide to Sydney Australia can be heard at
