Firstly, we just want to let you all know that we are still around, but not blogging as much as we would like because our internet has been down again - the latest fly-by-night internet provider has been bought out again, and I refuse to give money to a company called Supernerd (the people who bought out Blitz telecom, our second provider), so we are patiently awaiting the local telephone network to come through with service - might take another week, though. Anyway, we are in Sydney, ready to head off on our next adventure - the Outback, Uluru and Alice Springs, but first, Happy Canada Day!
We had a party last Sunday, the 29th, to celebrate our country's birthday. The dress code was red and white, and it was nice to see that most people willingly complied with our request. There were a couple of other Canadians at the party, John's sister came down from Sydney, and there is a couple on exchange in a town 25 km south of us that also came. We enjoyed an afternoon of good food and good company, the weather was awesome (winter here, I hate to tell you, is just beautiful - the sun shines almost everyday, and although the mornings are chilly, around 5 degrees, the days warm up to almost 20).
