Met an Australian dairy farmer over on a short holiday with his family this week, who lives about three hours drive from Brisbane.
Very friendly and interesting guy who my mate and I hope to try to keep in touch with via email, (my mate says he'd like to visit him too, as I would but doubt I will get around to it).
School uniforms are still a good thing, and I wasn't sure whether all school here have them now before reading this thread. I hope children enjoy their schooling as much as I did, and are as lucky as I felt I was in the quality of teaching and school ethos, (my mate had the opposite experience, saying he hated every day at his school though).
