RP: Lecture "Victoria and New South Whales"

Lecture that was about Victoria & New South Whales. It started out with Professor Isern sharing with us some of the lands species like the nonpoisonous Shingleback Lizard. Then we learned about the land and how it is covered with wheat fields and that the people produce so much grain that they do not have enough storage so they put the wheat on the ground. Then we talked about “The Big Merino”, and what it was? I do not know why people think it is necessary to make those big obnoxious creatures. I like how they use hedges as live fences, it is very smart and you don’t have to use any materials. A guy by the name of Wattie Thompson was a gold miner that died on an Air New Zealand flight. Must make Professor Isern Feel good when he goes on his trips. Well Wattie left open mine shafts all over for people to fall in. That is cool the the government has a fund for stupid people that fall in holes. I wonder what kind of health care plans NZ and OZ have? Australian women are weird if they really like the smell of sheep on men. But I guess after a couple drinks at the pub it doesn’t matter how bad a guy smells. Pictures were shown of Hagley Park, it look beautiful with all those exotic flowers and that sun set. I wonder if that is a big tourism place? I don’t really know where this lecture fits in but it was definitely a good one.
