couldn't spend much time talking to us - something
about all the dangerous creatures in Australia
- but he did tell us about these photos...
"
... it has been hard to live with some of the
strange animals that inhabit this land ... first
there was a gigantic marsupial that I had to escape
from and then the smiling creature about my size,
but I got sick of his bobbing head ... "
"
... I've been working laboriously on the computer
as you can see ... hopefully my paper will get accepted
for ASCILITE 2002 and I'll be able to come back to
my homeland ... but I've heard rumours that my Baaaaaaa
is too smart for the x-ray machines at the airport
..."
"
... but they do have good times here when there are
lots of presents to unwrap ... that was fun! ... "
