I am telling you it is not a country that I would want to spend the rest of my days in though. First of all I must say that the wages are nothing here. The average wage is $40 a week and the cost of living is just as high, if not higher, in some respects to Canada. For example, grape- fruit here are at the lowest 14e each, but sometimes I understand are on a very rare special at 101. So, therefore, one doesn't buy them. The reason for this, so they tell me, is that the country here has to pay for the export of them, Meats, clothing and other foods run about the same price as that of Canada. Petro runs at about 43 -44e a gallon and cars are priced about the same as there, but even second hand cars are very high for example I have a 1955 Holden which is in com- parison to the Chev. in Canada and this old 1955, which is In real good shape cost $300. The only thing here is that the cars don't rust as they don't have the snow and salt on the roads. If they get snow here in Canberra it only lasts for a day at the most as the sun soon melts it away. When they do get snow it is really a treat for the children so they say. I must say I have had wonder- ful weather since I arrived here in Canberra A.C.T, (Australian Capital Territories). The days have been real sunny and bright and one doesn't need a jacket on most of the days even though it is now autumn, but the nights foretemel.momemoommome. Mrs. John E.

It is one of the places with very unique weather changes. There can bee difference of 50 degrees between the days and nights and this is why people from other places and parts of the country notice it so much, for example most days are up in around the 70 or 80's in early autumn and drop into the 30's or low 40's at night. I have met a lot of fine people here with my work and talked with a lot of them. Have become friends of some Americans from California and they asked what I missed most of all here and without letting them finish, I said, "my furnace, of course", After I answered they said, "they were thinking of the food line". One thing they missed is the pumpkin that we make pies, which cannot be bought here. When you hear Australians talk of their, pumpkin, they are mean- ing what we call squash. You see pumpkin is served as a vegetable here down under, not as a pie filler and they have many dif- ferent kinds of pumpkin and the one I most enjoy is the Queens- land Blue pumpkin. Another point you should know about is that the oven of the stove is hardly ever used. They have a tendency to fry everything from tomatoes to pumpkins. Really I must say I am enjoy- ing the change and seeing a new country. Oh yes, we do have a few maple trees here, but they take a lot of care and culture. At present we are having a very bad drought and need rain badly as the fields are very dry and roads very dusty. You see they don't have the good roads that we are used to. The roads are very narrow and only the very important roads are sealed and due to the dry weather, the roads are getting filled with "pot holes" which makes them very rough. Unless we do get rain soon, they say that we will have a very cold winter which will be start- ing in June through to the end of August. The reason for Can- berra being so cool and such changes in temperature is that it is a plateau in the Mount- ains, not far from the Snowy. So until the next time, Sincerely, Bill Gibson.
