to Everyone on Australia Day...

One of my favourite television programmes for some time are the ones that involve time travel to the past or the future. At the moment, two are featured on the tele. One is "Journeyman" on 7HD, which tells the story of a journalist who unexpectedly, and inexplicably, travels back in time to help some individual in the past - often to save them from their own unfortunate fate. The other is "Goodnight Sweetheart" on the ABC, which is about a man, Gary, who can travel through a time portal into the past, and tells the story of his machinations involving his two wives - one in the 1990's - one in the 1940's.
Although, physics doesn't seem to allow us to really do this, this kind of travel has got me thinking - especially today on Australia Day. So without really worrying if such time travel is possible or not.

* If you could travel back (or forward) in time, where and what year would you go to in Australia's History?
* Who would you meet?
* And, other than political change, what would you do to improve our wonderful country for the present Australia in 2008?
