G’day Faith!

Patrick’s putting some steaks on the barbie, and when I saw a computer sitting on his desk, of course I asked if I could use it to let you know that I am alive, but kicking is not necessary in this incredibly laid-back country. Patrick informs me that with the start of school vacation today, I have selected perhaps the worst time to be here. The roads and beaches will be jammed. But I don’t care. The more Australians I meet, the better.

I took the Indian Pacific from Sydney to Perth, totally amazing trip. Went on part of the longest straight stretch of track in the world and through what has to be the most isolated town. I’ll never tease you about Aleford again. Cook, the “Queen City of the Nullarbor”—which means “zero trees”—has a total population of three. Tough for play dates, or much else. Picked up a car in Perth. Thank God for air conditioning and have maybe gotten the hang of driving on the wrong side of the road. Aussies are very kind about this. Ended up here in Cervantes. Australians are into unusual names. Like the aboriginal ones best—Yallingup, Manjimup, Kalamunda, etc. No windmills at Cervantes, but did find a Don Quixote at the Pinnacles—incredible limestone spires, hundreds of acres of them. Patrick was photographing them for some magazine (he’s a photographer, duh). After a while, though, we decided seen one…Anyway, here I am at his house overlooking a gorgeous beach (may start working for the Australian Tourist Board, with all these adjectives).

Despite the gallons of sunblock I’m going through, don’t miss New England winter at all, but do miss you guys. Am pretty sure we won’t be checking E-mail after we eat, but try a reply.

xoxo,

Niki

P.S. A sheila is a girl, by the way. Got to love the lingo.
