Hi!
My days in Australian are winding down. I do not have time to make a blog in prose form but here is the condensed version.
- Melbourne Victory soccer game: Soccer players in Australia still cry and hold their leg for 15 mins when they get fouled then get up and play the rest of the game. The guy that did that even scored the game-wining goal.
- Finals: Good - SWOT VAC, very comprehensive tests (3hrs) organized, included reading period. Bad - testing took a month, it was hot, the libraries were too crowded and the libarian yelled at me.
- Tasmania: We underestimated distance and didn't have enough time (only 3 days). There was tons of roadkill and we saw the Tasman Peninsula National Park (where there are no Tasmanian Devils with face cancer), Port Arthur (old prison), Cadbury Chocolate Factory, Jam Farm, Bay of Fires, St Columbus Falls, The Dairy Factory, Narawntapu National Park (with pademellons).
- Swan Hill: In the Mallee Shrubland outback, it really was isolated. I visited Abdul's family and it couldn't have been more lovely... they made me feel super comfortable.
- Mildura: Outback town with red sands.
Here are some picture from the last two weeks. I'm coming home soon!
Until then,
Mikey Doo

It looks like you have had a great time in Australia. We hope you enjoy the rest of your time there and have a safe flight back. As a side note, Maureen and I strongly recommend trying a Cadbury Crunchie if you have not already! Be safe! Can't wait to see you!
