Great Aussie Coin Hunt / Cultural Gold Mine

3/24/2022

A couple years ago, Australia debuted a nostalgic game celebration of Aussie life - relasing new $1 coins for people to find/collect: one coin for every letter of the alphabet, each featuring a classic cultural icon. They're now on "version 2." We've collected these coins from both games to discover new Aussie things.

A day full of adventure! Including a train strike; car accident in our taxi; testing negative for Covid (again); swimming at Coogee Beach with 3-continent friends; trying potato scallops with chicken salt; drinking schooners of Furphy and Hahns; a welcome package with vegemite squeezy, Tim Tams, "shapes" crackers, and boogie boards; and crashing for 12+ hours.

Sharing my sabbatical adventure in Australia with my partner and our two young boys. We are staying in Sydney for 4 months on a Fulbright Scholar Award.

I'm writing this blog to (1) demystify the nature of a sabbatical (I didn't really know what they were either until I started one), and (2) serve my aim as cultural ambassador between the U.S. and Australia in the spirit of Fulbright.
