Intro:
Dust off your atlases, folks, because I want to talk to you about Australia, Down Under, Terra Australis Incognita, or simply “Oz”. Settled by British Captain James Cook in 1788, the land formerly known as New Holland was both immediately welcoming and barely hospitable to the new European arrivals. Faced with a justifiably defensive native people (the Aborigines) and a harsh, hot landscape, the first white Australians faced significant challenges, not the least of which was increasing their population and ensuring future generations would be rugged men’s men and naturally gorgeous, earthy women. Nowadays, Australia is known for its fantastic specimens of femininity and many overseas travelers arrive during the long summer months looking for an Aussie chick to hook up with. Thanks to Girls Out West, you can cancel your travel plans and save money by checking out the hundreds of models littering the pages of this homegrown Aussie website. Started by Annie (“your web hostess, photographer, and video artiste”) as a creative outlet for Australian girls to express their definition of their own sexuality (not that shown in Ralph Magazine or on the Footy Show), Girls Out West features HD videos (up to 1080p), streaming Flash movies, and hi-res photos coming to you every day of the week. There’s also a fun active community to be found on the site’s blog and message board pages, so why not get yourself acquainted with some true blue Aussie sheilas? Who knows, you might end up with a sofa to stay on next time you’re Sydneyside.

Pros:
Showcasing naturally beautiful Australian women in everyday settings, Girls Out West is a true amateur fan’s delight. These are real women, folks, not those painted prima-donnas you see on most pornsites. If the women of Girls Out West attended the AVN awards, they’d probably be taking tickets or serving sodas.

Great quality is one of Girls Out West’s most impressive assets. Photos hit 1333x2000 pixels and look beautifully clear and natural, and videos arrive in MPG, MP4, and WMV formats ranging from 480x384 all the way up to 1280x720 and 1920x1080 pixels. The HD videos look exceptionally sharp and clean, which is a delight to see.

Annie has setup a site with a truly great community feel. Lots of interaction with the models, Annie and other members makes you feel like you’re invested in Girls Out West in the most charming way. Adding to this is the great detail put into presenting each scene and gallery. You’re given much background information on the scene including how it pertains to the model’s life and sexuality, as well as anecdotes from the shoot.

Girls Out West definitely appeals to men and women of all orientations. Although the site does focus on women - People Out West doesn’t have the same ring to it - the guys shown in the boy/girl scenes will appeal to straight women and gay guys, while the attractive female models certainly have lesbian appeal (and not just because many engage in girl/girl sex) as well as striking a chord with you straight fellas. The fact that Girls Out West is “made by women, made with passion” is a great help.

Frequent updates bring new content to the site every day of the week. With two new galleries, five new videos, and one behind the scenes update each week, there’s a great deal of new content arriving on the site. Enough to satisfy all but the most ridiculously oversexed self-stroker, I’m sure.

Cons:
Older content can’t match the superb quality of the newest material and often can’t be streamed. While this is almost totally unavoidable with sites that are dedicated to upgrading their content over time, it’s a shame to find a less than perfectly presented scene after viewing so many stunning HD videos.

The community aspect of the site unfortunately doesn’t extend to the scene pages themselves. It’d be great to get a sampling of other members’ thoughts about a particular scene right there below the video stream instead of having to hunt around in the forums.

Girls Out West is definitely not for any guy with a strong aversion to body hair. Actually, if you’re used to the tarted up harlots of most pornographic productions, you’ll either find the Girls Out West models a rare treat or revoltingly overfed cows. (Hey, don’t blame me or Girls Out West if your idea of a beautiful woman has been perverted by pornography.)

Conclusion:
At the regular monthly price of $25 a month, Girls Out West can’t pretend to be the cheapest amateur site out there, but it can definitely lay claim to the title of Mr. Pink’s Favorite Australian Amateur Site That Makes Him Wish He’d Meet Girls Like These at a ‘You Am I’ Show. With a solid air of authenticity surrounding everything she seems to put her hand to, Annie is one webmistress that should be very, very proud of herself. Her models, too, should be infinitely pleased to be associated with a site as detailed, dedicated, and honest as Girls Out West. If you can’t get it up to anyone less obviously whorish than the likes of Sasha Grey or Katsumi, you might not find yourself enrapt in these wonderful Aussie amateurs, but if you’re in the mood for something more genuine, sincere, and personal, Girls Out West is definitely for you. (Then there are those delightful accents!)
