    Update on the world of .AU

    TRAFFIC Downunder has been and gone & was a great success for all. Many seasoned conference goers saying 'the best ever' (Olympics 2000 anyone? he he) Anyway, .AU domains got some great exposure with some fantastic sales results in the live auctions.

    Top two sales were:

    Jeweller.com.au - A$14,767
    History.com.au - A$13,644

    Summary posted here:
