About the guy from California!
Hey dude! We are almost certain that you are the guy from Ballarat . . . . so that weather should not bother you at all! In fact, if it isn't sleet and hail, you should be laughing!! :) And . . . . you could come back to Oz anytime soon and enjoy our amazing Spring and Summer!

And try to keep dodging the messes on the road - less washing! With our love and prayers, Kev and Liz.
