Leslie sent us a very nice article about Batemans Bay a port/fishing town in New South Wales, two hours from Canberra.

You made me feel as if I was enjoying Bateman's Bay with you! I've never been there but it is now on my list.

Thank you. You write so well!

Valda - you have made my day. Thank you so much!

P.S. Crikey - have just noticed it's up as Western Australia, must let them know it's New South Wales - south of Sydney to be exact. And Strewth! I just saw we are in The Rest of Europe, instead of The Rest of the World.

I moved it.

Fixed. Sorry about that. I thought Canberra was in western Australia, near Perth. I have no idea why I thought that and I just looked at a Google Map to find it is south of Sydney and inland.

Also Sydney is a lot further south than I thought!!

Aw look, the only country I can do is Italy! You should see me talking on Skype to someone in the US, and having to run and get an atlas. The conversation is a hoot.

Over on the right? Up a bit? Sort of to the left and in the middle?

You're a star for fixing that. Thank you - and you being on holiday and all.

P.S. And I'm up! I'm 600 meters up, and the Brindabella Ranges I look at out the window that get the snow on them, are 1000 or more meters up. That's why I'm cold!
