My experience in Australia was my dream and I realised it better that I thought. I will never forget all of this, all my best moment with all of the people that I met. I really think that Australians are the best people in the world: welcoming, charming, friendly, generous... You have too much quality and I can't count all of them....I hope come back one day in your so amazing country! Since I came back in France, each day I think to Australia. Thank you very much to everybody. Louise Varescon
