Education in Australia – not just for Aboriginal people (part 2)
Enrolling in Australian private schools is easy – just have money, know English and get an interview.

The fact that sooner or later Australia will happen in my life, I realized in the seventh grade. This confidence came to me in the form of a small photograph in a geography textbook (as I remember now, below on the right page): a furry animal of some unearthly charm, tightly hugging the trunk of an eucalyptus.
