Learning about Australia. Part 2

Our days are pretty chaotic as we prepare for my parents to leave for the summer.
Nevertheless we managed to finish our Australian studies (for now :). I mean they could go on and on, the interesting country it is :)) Maybe more next year :)

What I love most about homeschooling that it gives me an opportunity to discover more about the world. I read a great book Dreamkeepers:A Spirit-Journey into Aboriginal Australia by Harvey Arden I learned a lot and will definitely continue learning.
I watched some great australian movies and again, can't wait to see more, so un-hollywood they are.
The journey will definintely continue :)
