The schools are in between terms here in Albury, and most kids are on vacation. This week I am running a holiday tennis program in Daysdale, Australia. Daysdale is over an hour away from Albury, and it feels like it's in the middle of nowhere.
The town of Daysdale consists of one bar/hotel/take-away-joint, about 7 houses, and a run-down old football and tennis club. When we drove into Daysdale, we laughed because we could already see the end of the town. We took a picture of the one paved road in the town. We didn't think there could possibly be many kids in the program, but they drove from all over the countryside to get there and we ended up having about 24 kids.
Some of the kids bike to tennis. They only have to bike about 2 miles to their driveway, but then it's another 6.5 miles down the driveway to their home.

Daysdale looks a bit like Collyer, Kansas - don't you think? It is even smaller than Quinter. Glad to see everyone wearing shorts since I'm hoping for nice weather when I get there in a few days. love, Mom
Wow. Thats so cool that these kids travel so far to play Tennis.
I am having my first taste of law as part of Business Law course this semester. Just trying so hard to understand all the legal terms :)
Oh dylan! LOL. I wouldn't mind living there because of the courts. Dad said we can move into the house right next to them, only if I agreed I wouldn't drive to get there.
are those nets at regulation height?
