No. 576-6800 To Plan a, Retu'rn Five Brown les in Fly Up for Girl Guides For each of these young people, Rotary exchange pro- vides the opportunity of a lifetime; the excitement and adventure of travel to faraway rplaces, plus the challenge of icoping with unfamiliar situ-, ations and people. It was no different for Lori VanCamp as ber Australian itrip proved to be a satisfying and happy experience. During ber stay, she was bosted by eigbt different Rotary families in a town called Wangaratta, located 150 miles nortb east of Melbourne. When-she arrived in late August, Lori quickly discover- ed that ber summer wardrobe wasn't suitable for snow skiing in, the Australian mounitains, an activity that was organized for ber on tbe second day of ber visit. She survived witb five layçrs of borrowed clotbing, and a hasty note to ber mother soon had winter garb ýon its way. En route to Australia, Lori had envisioned a flat, dry and desolate country, but soon found out that the region wbere sbe made ber heal-, quarters was billy and green, witb plenty of lakes and rivers. Lori described the Aussies as warm, friendly and outgo- ing people wbo are honest and straigbtforward. The 'lan- guageý posed initial problems -- local colloquialisms were bard to translate at first, but Lori soon caugbt on that 'trouble in strife' meant wife, and 'swinging gate' represent- ed one's mate. 'Fair dinkum' means really and truly, and if you ask boni for a sample of the expressions she learned, sbe's quick to respond with a sentence that wotild leave ahl unilingual Canadians comp- letely in the dark. Shortly after ber arrivai, Lori enrolled in the Wangarat- ta Tecbnical College, a school that offered science-oriented courses for forms five and six -- the equivalent of our grades il and 12. She was the only girl in ber class, a situation sbe regarded with mixed feelings. Generall- ly speaking, femnales aren't considered clever enougb to handie technical training, and tbey usually aspire to bý nurses or teachers, witb the long range goal of serving as wives and mothers. Though sixth form students weren't required to wear school uniformis, the Aussies found it bard to believe that in Canada, there was no pre- scribed dress for classes. Played Basketball Af ter scbool bours, Lori kept busy with several recreational activities. Sbe joined a basket- ball team which travelled around tbe country for match- es against otber schools, and sbe learned to water ski and snow ski duning ber stay. She also joined a ballroom, dancing class, and volunteered to belp out in tbe geriatric ward of the local hospital, wbere she played piano and taught crafts. During the early part of the summer, Lori spent part of ber vacation assisting a veter- inarian, whose family she was then living with. From seven o'clock in the morning until eigbt at night, .sbe made rounds with the doctor, giving sbots and blood tests to sbeep and pregnancy tests to cattle. Travel llighlights One of the bighligbts of Lori's Australian experience was ber opportunity to travel into the outback region, a very desolate and isolated part of the country., Included on ber agenda were several outstanding tour- ist attractions, sucb as Ayers Rock, tbe largest monolitb in the world, and Alice SprincrQ to support livestock. At Alice Springs, every ranch is equip- ped witb an organized kit of medical supplies. Wben a doctor is pboned for assis- tance, the caller describes bis symptoms and is then told to take a specific, numbered drug in tbe supply kit. Lori also visited Mt. Connor, wbicb tbe aborigines believe is the home of the spirits wbo bring bad weather. Water is in extremely short supply in tbat area, and Lori and ber travelling companionS paid 50 cents for a 30 second sbower. The brief- dean up provîded only temporary relief from the fine white dust whicb coated everytbing, and was impos- sible to wasb out of clothing. Missed Snow At Christmas Lori genuinely enjoyed ber excbange visit to Australia, thougb at Christmas time (the summer season 'down under') she missed the snow we regard as traditional trim- ming outdoors. Tbere were a few Christmas trees, and even fewer Cbristmas carols on the radio. ~ ~ ~ ercsean-alit-e--s-ic Otberwise the local weatber' and customs suited Lori just fine. The food was plentiful, and like most other excbange students, she gained a lot of weight at first, partly through politeness -- she didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings by refusing the ample belping at mealtime. Witb adequate ex- "m'y'E CAMAD's food, Lori managed to lose the extra pounds without too much difficulty. At the moment, Lori has resumed bier studies at Cour- tice Secondary School, and after a course in environen- tai science at Guelph Univer- sity, she hopes one day to return to Australia for another dose of travel. At the Flying Dutchman on Thursday, she thanked the local Rotarians for bier first opportunity to visit by saying that she learned a great deal and matured in the process. For their part, the Rotar- ians seemed just as pleased with the poised young ambas- sador as she did witb her il month exchange experience. (Intended for Last Week) Mr. and Mrs. Wm. S.
