"Sheilas wanted! Australia tries to lure single women with promises of sun, sand and Mr Right"

"Admiring the view: Australia is offering sun, sand and plenty of fit men in an effort to try to lure... single women.

'So we asked our men, who are bronzed, sportier, and who are enjoying a booming economy, to step up to the plate and entice British women to a better way of life.'

The state points out that 50.4 per cent of its male population is single, compared to 34.7 per cent in Britain.

There may, of course, be a downside. South Australian men are fanatical about Aussie Rules football, a sport where the rules are best described as 'forget about the ball, get on with the game'."
