Hooray – we made it back to Oz. By the time of writing this post, the last of the weary travellers will be arriving home. Hope everyone is settling back in and having fun distributing gifts, eating Turkish Delight and telling tales. A final entry will go in soon with last thoughts and feelings from the students and teachers (reminder to you all). We have to get used to not saying Tesekkur ederim (Turkish thankyou) everytime someone does something for us, eating soup at the start of our meal and haggling shop keepers over prices. Sometime late next week, check for final wrap up.
Till then Hoscakal!

It has been great reading the various posts and comments on this site. Well done to each student author – excellent entries from each of you and these gave your readers a real sense of the experiences that you were having throughout the trip. Your parents, families and teachers at your schools must be so proud of each one of you. I am sure that the staff who accompanied you feel the same way, too. Saw the TV footage from the service at Lone Pine – you each did a sterling job in your various roles. Sharee is now a TV star:)
I think you’ll all relate to this statement, now:
” I am not born for one corner. The whole world is my native land.” (Seneca)
Best wishes to each of you – you’ll have bright futures ahead.
