Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

In a move that looks a lot like it was cleverly timed to coincide with the release of Baz Luhrmann’s colossal geopic Australia, but was really just blind luck with bells on, we’re please to announce the addition of a host of Aussie hotels to Mr & Mrs Smith’s collection.
