G'day from Barbara the Librarian


Hello everyone in Conway. It's been good fun reading your posts. I wish it was summer here! Although it dosn't snow in Melbourne, it still gets cold and icy in the mornings. I see you are curious about what we eat ..... all the usual junk food! Macdonalds, pizza, kebabs and fish and chips. Australians love to BBQ and have roast dinners. Melbourne is a very multicultural city, so we have lots of food from other cultures that we eat in restaurants or cook at home; Vietnamese, Italian, Turkish, Middle Eastern and African to name a few. I've just finished reading the graphic novel version of The Great Gatsby, by Melbourne author Nicki Greenberg. I've also been reading the picture books for older readers that have been short listed for The Australian Book Council Awards; Dust by Colin Thompson, The Island by Armin Greder and Ziba came on a Boat by Robert Ingpen. Are you all looking forward to the Olympics? Cheers, Barbara
