Today we went to the Market Hall, which was a wonderful experience again. Thanks to "Antti" taking me there. A looots of different kind of fruits, veggies, cheese, bread - the biggest water melons I have ever seen and custard apples and apple cucumbers. I have never seen those and did not know what they were. And all the veggies and fruits are fresh, juicy, quite cheap and from Australia. (Not improted, which is a great thing.) I just enjoyed with my eyes, and sadly cannot bring any food with me from here. (Pasi, sorry, but you are not getting kangaroo metwurst, although I promised to bring, it is against the Finnish law.)
After that I went to Tandanyaka Aboriginal Art Gallery and saw very nice aboriginal art. (Aboriginals are those people who lived here before the Europeans came in the mid 1800.) There was a man who played didgeridoo and explained how it is made (a hollow tree, eaten by termites) and how to play it (with your cheeks, and sort of circular breething... the musicians might know how, I do not, I just enjoyed the magical sound.)
I also visited the Immigration Museum which told stories about immigrants. I spent there 3 hours, it was so interesting place. This country has a very colourful history, and I learnt so many new things about history. And so many Finnish people have also moved here after the WW2.

So many people have left and found a new life here. |

Also few Finnish names were found in the names which were printed
in the revetment of the Immigration Museum. |

And I nearly forgot, the was a tiny little gecko in the kitchen wall yesterday morning. I could not believe my eyes when I saw it there. It stayed there for a day and disappeared during the night. Hopefully the cats did not have it as a breakfast...

School boys in their uniforms......so lovely hats.
I also bought that kind of Aussie hat and shall wear it back home (at least in the summer cottage...) |
Tomorrow is my last evening here and I am not going to spend it in a computer. So this is my last writing from Australia. Hopefully you have enjoyed my photos and writings. I have had just so good holiday and there will be thousands of lovely memories in my mind for the rest of my life. And I hope, this was not the last time I visit Australia. This was just the beginning.
