Bundeena and Maianbar are located on the Cronulla Coast in Southern Sydney, just one hour from the Sydney CBD.
You get there by driving along the Princes Highway through the National Park or by ferry from the public wharf at Gunnamatta Bay located close to Cronulla Station. The ferry departs on the half hour.
If you want to get a quick and easy escape from the fast pace of the city, this is a beautiful place to visit because you will find plenty of outdoor activities, like walks around the beaches or bushland. There are marvellous views, shops, cafes, picnic and barbeques areas.
Bundeena and Maianbar have a lot of talented people who like working with their hands and produce lots of fine handmade ceramics, jewellery and textiles. You can enjoy a visit to their shops or get some classes or demostrations that many of the local artists offer.

Swine Flu
Mexico has been at the centre of the global Swine outbreak and health authorities are worried because it will spread quickly, and cause a Pandemic. A Pandemic is when a virus gets out of control and infects lots of people.
The Flu is a virus which actually began thousands of years ago in birds, but over the years all species have developed their own flu. Sometimes the flu can mutate between similar animals including humans. The Flu spreads through coughing and spluttering. The problem is that our bodies aren't prepared for it. We haven't an inbuilt immunity to it and that's why it's making people so sick.
Luckily there are medicines available which can treat the virus and scientists are working hard to create a vaccine.
Meanwhile you can cover your mouth when you cough and wash your hands regularly to help prevent the spread of the disease.

ANZAC DAY
The 25th of April each year, Australians commemorate ANZAC DAY. They remember the brave men and women who have served Australia in times of war.
The word ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers were called diggers because they were good at digging the land to protect themselves against their enemies.
Simpson was a brave person from World war I. He had a Donkey called Duffy. He carried injured soldiers on the back of his donkey to secure places.
On Anzac day, Australians show their thanks to the people who fought for this country. Families go to the march in their towns wearing ANZAC badges and waving Australian flags.
The Ode is a part of a special poem that is said during the ANZAC DAY service and people reply it with these words: "Lest we forget"

Harmony's Day
Hello everyone.
I feel sorry because I missed this celebration. I think that Harmony day is an important day because this day reminds us that we must to share this land in peace without any feeling of rancour or anger.
I think some people are here because they want to escape from the violence of their countries. They also want to have a better place to see their children growing up and get better opportunities.
Therefore, we have to leave these feelings out of Australia and live in peace.
