Did you know?? - The construction of the Opera House began in 1959.
- It took until 1973 to finish building it and for it to finally open.
- It cost about $100 million!
- The final show of Australian Idol takes place inside!

Have you heard??
*For the past two weeks it seems like all I have heard about on the news is how the equine influenza (EI) has spread through Aussie's racehorse population....
*No worries though! Today the horses are back to the tracks!
They're everywhere!!
That is, students in uniforms... from primary to secondary school grades, any person wearing a backpack (not at my uni) has been in a uniform. These small children on a field trip to the Queen Victoria Building have been my favorite so far! I mean, just look at their hats!

Hey Allison,

Hi Allison,
Enjoy reading your blog and so glad you are having so much fun! I'm sure the time is FLYING by. Take care and keep blogging!
thanks for all the comments :)
Luke,
We mostly catch some game shows while we eat dinner, like Deal or No Deal, One Vs. One Hundred, and Temptation (all with Australian hosts). There is also a cool travel show called Things to Try Before You Die. Oh, and on Sunday nights we watch Rove, who is a really funny late night talk show host.
xoxo
p.s. time IS flying by, I can't believe its almost been TWO months!
Alison,
It sounds like you and Richie are not only having fun but learning a lot about the culture too. What's up with that? Ha Ha I am so happy that you are able to experience life "down under".
XXOO
