Worked and lived on a real farm,
Chased our native fauna and livestock,
Saw some of our sights,
Droolled over our excessive quantities of Blitzes,
Eaten our tucker,
Drunk our grog,
Smoked our durries and had a natter with some of our sheilas....
What is your opinion of this sunburnt country now mate??
What did you learn or what didn't you know before you came?,
What did you find?,
What did you like?,
What didn't you like?,
How do you feel? ( health wise )
What can we do to improve things here in our country? ( in your eyes )
Just interested to know what you thought?
We've / I've enjoyed your visit...sad to see you go...glad you came over anyway....looking forward to seeing you back here again, and hoping next time you might be able to stay a while longer. ( maybe for good )

Pedr...
Sorry mate, I'm pissed as hell. I spent an hour this morning typing out a long response then accidently hit CTRL-A instead of SHIFT-A and lost the whole lot. Note to self - pay attention to the stupid keyboard.
I WILL respond in due course, but Tony's having me out of here shortly.
Suffice only to say (for the moment) that this country and its people has had a profound effect upon me. When I get back to Toronto a scant few days from now, I will be a different man than he who left a month ago. I'm not sure where this is going to lead me, but suffice to say, it will to be someplace other (either in my head or otherwise) than I ever in my wildest dreams envisaged. I thank you all for that. It is a gift I can never repay.
