ANONYMOUS JONES'
AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION NEWSLETTER #27
ELSEWHERE, IN TASMANIA
Now you probably thought, having watched all the old Bugs
Bunny cartoons, that Tasmania was a wild and desolate place,
somewhere west of Borneo, and populated by strange assertive
creatures given to grunting and snorting and playing a dusty
version of spin-the-devil. In actuality, Tasmania is located
south of Australia and is relatively civilized, the original
British settlers (mostly convicts) having neatly exterminated
all of the indigenous tigers and aborigines some time ago.
Tasmania is now known to have all the civilized amenities,
such as your Thrifty Rent-A-Car, your Four Seasons Motel and
your Tasmanian Government Tourist Bureau. The Tasmanian Devil
proved to be not quite as tough as your average dingo and thus
has troubles of its own, thus you have nothing to fear there.
So when you get to Oz (student lingo for Australia), take a
look at Tassie; it's almost as scenic as New Zealand (*Gentle*
Kate, take heed!) and it's all Australian! And after all, how
wild can any place be with a Capitol City named Hobart!
