We have finally arrived in the last leg of our journey....AUSTRALIA!!! We flew into Sydney and spent two days. We went to the Aquarium and walked through a tunnel of sharks and huge sting rays. The last night in Sydney we all got dressed up and went to the legendery Opera House to see a performance of Mozart. One of the days in Sydney we went to Bondi beach and there was an art exhibit called "scultputes by the sea." All of the sculptures were really cool and intricate. After sydney we came to Adelaide and after a day at the really sweet yha (with a ping pong table!!) we found out that the group would be splitting up for a week. Everyone was really upset and worried because we have been together for two months straight. We each went our seperate ways with CVA (Conservations Volunteers Australia) off to different parts of the outback. Kim, Steven, Anna, Gaelen, and Becky traveled 3 hours away to survey wombats. From what i've heard it was very interesting. The house they stayed at had no electricity or water so it was almost like being in the fijian village all over again. They found out Obama was elected only because They were all huddled in the car listening to the radio. My group traveled 7 HOURS away to Leigh Creek to pull weeds and collect seeds. We saw lots of wallabies and kangaroos up close. On the last night we had a "barbie" (bbq) and roasted up some fresh "roo" (kangaroo that is!) When our work was done ww reunnited back at the sweet hostel in Adelaide to swap stories. We're induldging ourselves with target visits (!!), christmas parades, ping pong tournaments, and bike rides before heading back to the outback in 4 days. All is well here.

ps. Sorry this is the worst blog ever... we made a really cool videoblog but we couldn't figure out how to put it up.

The season's most honored play, it already has picked up the Pulitzer Prize, the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award and several other top play prizes."Doubt" also captured two acting Tonys -- for star Cherry Jones and for featured performer Adriane Lenox -- as the 2005 Tony Awards celebrated the best of a busy Broadway theater season.Jones, winning her second best actress Tony, was honored for her fierce, yet often funny portrait of a determined, unrelenting nun. Lenox plays the mother of a boy who may have been molested by a priest.
