Chapter 138 : email from Dunedin 27 March


27 March

I remember the day the NZ Prime Minister was asked about the large number of Kiwis working and living in Australia.
He said it was good for both countries. Everytime a Kiwi moved to Australia the IQ of both countries went up. Pretty good joke. The journalist (Australian) didn’t think it funny.

A guide showed us some seals.  He said: You can’t claim these as Australian unlike Phar Lap and the pavlova. You can have Russell Crowe. You can claim him.
And then he shows us a shiny shell. He says he made it shiny the Steve Waugh way. He used sandpaper.
Pretty good effort. The topic is native seals and he managed two jokes about Aussies. Well done.

On the bus we watch a video of a bridge we crossed yesterday. We see scenes of the bridge being washed away. Rain has followed us; made the rivers bigger; destroyed a few bridges; made us the lucky last group through for a while.
