Hi Tully.

I like all those maps you posted.  Perhaps you can teach me how to do that.  I am a bit slow when it comes to computer skills.

Tomorrow is Australia Day.  On 26th January we remember the first Europeans who came to settle in Australia.  They came to Sydney in 1788.  That's 228 years ago.  You will see many people waving the Australian flag to celebrate.  Here is my challenge to you.  Can you draw the Australian flag?Can you see that there is another flag in the top left corner of the Australian flag?  What is the name of that other flag and where does it come from?

Hi Pop,

I can't believe that we have so many countries in our blood! Here is a picture of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales:

 

I enjoyed your visit, and visiting you as well.

Hi Tully.  I had a lovely time visiting you recently.  It is a very long drive from Canowindra to Buderim, isn't it!  You must have thought the trip might never end.  "Are we there yet?"

One good thing about my long trip was that I was able to visit some other people along the way.  On the way to your place I visited my Auntie Betty at Port Macquarie, my cousin Jeff at Wauchope, and my Dad (Poppa Dennis) in Sydney.  Then, on the way home I visited Poppa Dennis in Sydney again, some of our friends in Maitland, Mama G's Auntie Barbara at Nambucca Heads, and another family friend at Sawtell.  Can you find all those places on a map?
