Give your teenager an advanced course in driving by teaching him or her to drive safely on snow and ice. Burle received a scholarship to attend the Armidale Teacher's College in February and v complete his first year there December 14th, with another year to go. It has been a most n joy able experience at th College with a comprehensiv course of study and a variety of activities. We have been really accepted and welcomed at the College, with the highlight being Burle's election as President of the Students' Representative Council -- truly an honour and greatly appreciated. The added •esponsibilities have been off-set by the experience and fellowship favoured with. This is " dicative of the hospitality and id-wijl we have encountered everywh"ey»fcjln Aus- Speaking of where we have been reminds us that we have had two very exciting trips this year. The first took us to Sydney on Easter week-end to attend the Royal Easter Show which we found to be very interesting, and much cheaper to attend than similar shows such as the C.N.E. at home. After a thoroughly exhausting day we managed to find our way back to our friends' home where we were thrilled to discover that they were taking us to the Jenolan Caves (125 miles west) in the Blue Mountains, the following day. The scenery was beautiful and for the first time since we came to Australia we saw large tracts of pine and spruce in reforestation areas. They looked wonderful to us, though slightly out of place with the gums and eucalyptus in the surrounding country-side. The Jenolan Caves are world famous for their stalactite and stalagmite formations and with effective indirect lighting are something to see. Having three weeks holiday in August and having acquired a V.W. we set out complete with camping gear, on a 4,000 mile trip into the tropical part of Australia. Travelling north from Brisbane to Cairns and Moss-man we slowly investigated all the wonders of the coastal and managed launch trips to two tropical islands -- Magnetic Island and Green Island -- in the coral reef. Green Island is a government reserve and we observed the intricate shapes and delicate pastels of the coral formations from an under water observatory and a glass-bottomed boat. We had heard a great deal about the reef but it lived up to every expectation. On several excursions in the Cairns area we enjoyed tropical ery and weather, and managed to gather some coral and shell souvenirs for ourselves at low It's pretty hard to convince I tide off Port Douglas. These the kids that the shortage of | treasure and hope to get home teachers is a calamity. safely. From Cairns we travelled into central Queensland -- the land of huge cattle ranches, and scattered country towns that the property owners visit about once a month. In this area the Flying Doctor is a regular call-, most properties would have pedal wireless and properties are measured by the 100's of square miles rather than acres. The roads are not super-highways by any means and we had flats to prove it but the Pic-c Races we were invited to attend and the people we met made up for the roads many times. Property owners and hands come hundreds of miles j spend two weeks at the Pic-ics where they live in camps ith most modern amenities and have a real holiday. The races take place on the last three days and altough it is in the bush the ladies could be dressed for Ascot. We were sorry to leave on Saturday afternoon for the dance lasted all night to signify the end of the Picnics for another year. On our way back to Rock-hampton we visited friends on another cattle station and as well as having a wonderful visit we learned a great deal about normal life on a large station. One interesting feature is that the lady of the house has to teach the children with the help of the correspondence school, for there are no schools on these huge properties. Although there's really nothing could ever take the place Of seeing you in person and meeting face to face . . . Still, special Christmas greetings can help us keep in touch, And bring the old-time wishes that always mean so much! Season's Greetings, Kay and Burle. P.S. Hope you are all fine. Guess mom is passing on any news from us as we don't seem to find time to write you. We think of you often and sometimes wish we could drop in for coffee. Love Burle.
