Great interview Mel. I hope you enjoy your Aussie trip...make sure you have a drink or 10 with Edi, Chooky, Michaela and Catherine...it is very much worth the laugh!
I think you will be surprised how the competitions are run in Aus. Besides Hobart they don't sound much different to Canada. Belle will have to interview you after your trip to get your impressions...perhaps you might not want to go back :-)
