Patsy Batstone, a Shelton
student, is in Australia as a
student under the Rotary
International program.
The Rotary Club recently
received a letter from her.
Dear Sheltonians,
Since my last report I've been
very busy settling down to the
easy life of an Australian. i'm
beginning to like tea at every meal
and meat pies are really yummy
once you get to like them.
I moved in with my second
family of the year on April 15
and have been busy every since
going back and forth to Sydney.
My new parents are l)r. and Mr,.
Kim Fields. They have h,ur
children: Roslyn /21 l, t:Jsic (1~.,!,
Adrian (1 7) and Fenella (14). I~.
Fields is employed by hc,th 'il:
Commonwealth and New Soulh
Wales as a medical officer. Mrs.
Fields is a housewife and spend,
most of her time dashing ba.:i~
and forth to Syndey where al! the
Mds are either in uriiver~,ity ~r
boarding school. The only ti~r.,~
we're all toge|hcr is al holiday,s.
During Easter I had 6 days ,If
from school. One of th~,;e day', I
spent in Sydney visiting :he Rov:,l
Easter Show. The kaste~ ~hc,w ~,

Fair but bigger. Everyday there is
a grande parade in the arena and a
Wool Fashion Show. You could
spend hours and days there but
not see everything.
There was one thing I missed
during Easter and that was
colored Easter eggs. What they do
here is have chocolate ones. No
1:aster egg hunt either.
On the 25th of April was
Anzac Day. Anzac Day is
Australia and New Zealand's
Memorial Day for those who have
served in WWI and II and the
Vietnam war. There was a parade
down main street and a ceremony
in the city park during which two
minutes silence was given for
those dead.
There is one thing Australia
still doesn't have and that's the
colored television set. Television
has only been in Australia since
about 1955 and colored won't
come until 1975. The TV
programs are mostly British and
the Australian ones are a bit hard
to explain - I just call them
"typical Aussie show." If a person
wants a radio and TV in his home,
he must pay a license fee of $26 a
year for both. This goes to pay
for the TV stations.
Some stations don't have
commercials - they're owned by

have commercials have cigarette

advertisements.
There is one thing that all
Australians like to do and that is
to bet on horses. Every Saturday
morning the TAB (government
owned) is filled with people
placing their bets. If it's not
horses they it's football - Rugby
League, Australian Rules, Soccer
and rugby. All I've gotten out of
their football is that it's
completely insane - and they
think gridirons crazy.
In another week I'I1 be going
on another holiday. This time it's
May holiday. We'll have ten days
off from school - a break
between first and second term.
My family is going to Canberra -
capital of Australia. Canberra is
only about 70 years old and it's a
planned city. Suppose to be very
beautiful with the fountains and
trees with their autumn leaves.
After May holidays my
feUowmates at school will be
taking half-yearly exams. Since
I'm not sitting for exams while
over here I'll have an extended
holiday. All my mates will be
studying during holiday so they
won't find it much of a holiday.
This exam will go on mark with
the final exam at the end of the
year so it's very important.
This October the Sydney
Opera House is to be opened. The
Queen will be coming over to
open it. The Opera House was
started in 1959 and it's costing
over $100 million to build. The
opening night seats will cost $100
- don't think 1'11 be going! I

don't know what it looks like
from the inside, but the outside is
really unique. It looks somewhat
like seashells in a row.
Everyone has been asking me
what Australians are like - very
outgoing and easy to get along
with. Any Australian will talk to
you - but they sure like to tease!
The typical Australian boy and
girl goes out for sports - football,
tennis, swimming, baseball -
anything. The parents like their
dances every Saturday night and
the Sunday B-B-Q. They seem to
have a much more relaxed life
than we do, but they're always
busy.
I received my first Journal last
week and my family and friends
had a good time reading and
comparing food prices -thanks
very much for sending it.
If anyone has
about anything in
to me and I'll try
answer.
That's about it
