Oz

Gorgeous smell of eucalyptus (gum) trees in the air this morning after all the rain.  One certainly feels one is in a very different place, here Down Under, with all the unfamiliar bird calls, the kangaroos hopping around (we see them every day now, especially on our evening walks where the nearby nature reserve has become our favourite haunt), and all the wonderful place names such as Bungendore, Jerrabomberra, Gundaroo, and Tuggeranong sprinkled amongst the British and Irish names.
