G'Day Mate!

Via the Global Greetings Project, the students and I have been able to "travel" to several places recently--both domestic & abroad!

We've received postcards from Eagle River, MI; Myrtle Beach, SC; and Townsville, North Queensland, Australia!  

We learned that copper mining is a main industry in Eagle River (so much so, that it was nearly named the capital city of the entire state) & it's the birthplace of ice hockey!  

Myrtle Beach is home to one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country--visitors flock to the main strip to ride the Sky Wheel :)

And The Strand in Townsville, North Queensland is the location of a huge cylinder-shaped Holiday Inn hotel.  Townsville is located along the northeastern coastline of Australia, near the Great Barrier Reef!

Many thanks to our friends and travelers for sending us your postcards: keep 'em coming!
