A long-forgotten treasure from Dad’s place!
My real estate agent recently sent me a collection of old maps she found tucked away in a cupboard, including a map of Australia from around the 1970s.
My uncle and his Australian wife lived in New South Wales back then, and he often wrote home about his fishing adventures.
Growing up across the river from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, I was fascinated by how different another country could feel, even just a few miles from home. Perhaps that's where my curiosity about faraway places began, realizing that a whole different world could be waiting just across the river.
