Australian pride

Matty included these two postcards in an envelope writing about his travel plans and how he makes it work. Anyone who's been lucky enough to travel around knows that Australians always seem to be abroad. I always wondered how they made it work; Matty writes that as a public employee, he entitled to 4 weeks of vacation leave and 4 weeks of sick leave annually. He also can take his vacation leave at half pay, which doubles the length of time! Oh to have a functioning government! ;-)
