Kathy and I with two other Aussie friends had the pleasure of entertaining two visiters who come from Owen sound. Jim and Diane have been living in Canberra fro the last 10 months on a teacher exchange programme, we met them through Matt giving his hockey gear away. Guess what Diane EATS VEGEMITE on toast for breakfast. I managed to briefly fill them in on what blitz's are and Kathy took them for a brif farm tour.

Good to give them a dose of their own cultural history (CMPs).
They now know a lot more about their own country too, as well as about sheep.

That latter bit worries me a little...

Max: when Jim and Diane return to Owen Sound, ask them to ring me up. I'm in the Owen Sound phone book. Be interesting to compare notes.

Jon

we will certainly ask them to give you a ring they won't be getting home to christmas time.

We'll catch up with them again before they leave and hopefully have lots of photos for you.
