On the islands, 'avatars' - the 3D virtual characters that people create to represent themselves in Second Life - can participate in a range of 'virtual' activities including car racing, scuba diving and ice skating. They can "join communities with shared interests, go shopping together at The Dome Shopping Mall and dance at the Illusion Club. They can take a boat trip or relax and have a drink in the Outback Billabong Bar." BigPond is launching islands called: The Pond, Ponderosa, Billabong, Ponden, Ponderama, Pondessa, Pondex, Pondfield, Pondice, Pondillion and Pondshen. Registration is open to any Internet user, but only BigPond customers get access without data counting towards any download quota associated with the service. Users must register on the BigPond Second Life home page, http://my.bigpond.com/pond/secondlife/ download from BigPond the Second Life client software (available for Mac and Windows). install it and log in. They arrive directly at BigPond's orientation island and After orientation they can go directly to the main Pond Islands' arrival platform and start to explore.
