Now lest anyone think I'm sick of Australia and just longing for the day I leave, let me assure you that's not the case. It's true that I look forward to being home again and there are things I've missed from back there, but I also love my life over here and there are many things I will miss about Australia too. I'll save them for another post. Both places are great and I love them both. Either way, I win!
So, if anyone in Canada wants to help me fill my two year old cravings for things of home, please let me know and I'll be sure to give you the opportunity upon my arrival at home in February 2009.

I'll be waiting for you and the first thing you eat at our house is a 15" t-rex, with my help.

Will Tim Tams be on your 'Things I'll miss from Australia' list? :)
Since we can now get Tim Tam's in Canada, I doubt that'll be on your list. But I bet Mud Cake will be:)
