TRANSCRIPTION OF UNSCRIPTED SPEECH
Well I have been joining the students in the first, and the second and the third year for a week here at the VCA college, VCA Drama school, and before that I had a week off where I went to Sydney, for a couple of days, and went from Adelaide to via Alice Springs and Katherine, to Darwin with the Ghan, and back again, so I’ve been travelling a lot. [Did you like it?] Yeah, it was really great. [Hot?] Sorry? [Hot?] Yeah, it was hot. It was really hot in Darwin, yes, but some of the places were quite, like here, Melbourne is the coldest of course, but just a little warmer. Alice Springs weren’t that hot actually. But, yeah, I enjoyed it. In Katherine we were in a boat cruise and saw some crocodiles in their right element, and that was very interesting I think. To see them around there, cause we don’t really have crocodiles in Europe so. It’s cool to see them other places than the zoo.
