AUSTRALIANS EASY GOING - Tracey Meecham, left,
found Australians to be easy going and friendly while,,she
spent a yeor down under on a rotary exchange trip. Diane
Kelly with whom she stayed, is in North Americo on a one-
year exchange trip and is visiting Tracey this week. •T -A photo
Life in Australis
said to be relaxed
The way of life in Australia
is more easy going and
relaxed than in North
America, unless you happen
to be a student.
That is the conclusion of
Tracey Meecham, Grand
Bend and Diane Kelly,
Australia. Miss. Meecham
returned to Grand Bend two
weeks ago after spending
almost one year in Australia
with three different families,
including Miss Kelly's. Mis"s.
Kelly- has been in Pen-
sytvania, United States since
January and is visiting Miss
Meecham this- week. Both
girls were sponsored by the
Rotary Club.
"The Australians lead a
slow, easy life. They could
give you all day. Nothing
seems -to bother them," says
Miss Meecham. -
"Everytine-is going so fast
het e," says Miss Kelly. "It.
seems everybody has to buy
more and get more. It seems
money is the big thing."
Miss Meecham attended
grade 12 at a state girls'
school while she was in
Australia•'and found the
courses difficult.
"The education was more
advanced. They were about
two years aheadNof what we
have and there wasn't any
extra activities," said Miss
Meecham. -
Miss Kelfy found the op--
pas-de
p=posite true of education in
North America.
"R is a riot. It is so easy --
and free. I attended an•all-
girls' _.boarding school in
Australia and it was com-
pletely different. The

greatest thing of all is that
-there are - no uniformi
required," said Miss Kelly.
The difference in climate
was'a shock to both girls.
"The heat in Australia
used to make me very sick.
It didn't bother them, they
just slowed down," said Miss
Meecham.
Miss Kelly had never seen
snow before she came to
United States. When :per,
plane landed in January. she
was catight in one of the
worst blizzards of the year.
"It was incredible. .The
coldest I had ever been was
about 50 degrees and it was
below zero. It was just in-
credible."
Language was another
problem.
"A lot of.words the
Americans ue have dif-
ferent meanings. The accent
was hard to get used to,"
said Miss. Kelly.
