He leaves Australia on Sunday 6th July, flies for almost 24 hours and arrives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on Sunday 6th July!!
Then he sets off on a farm tour, taking in the sights of Strathmore and Lethbridge and a number of farms on the way. 4 days later the group descends on Calgary to experience the Calgary Stampede and to cheer on Matt's mate Jimmy Tierney as he competes as the only Australian contestent in the International Young Auctioneers competition.
After spending 5 days in Calgary, they make their way to Vancouver doing a fair bit of sight seeing along the way including the Rockies and Victoria...
Matt promises he'll update the blog if he gets a chance along the way so I won't go into too much detail now. But here's a map of their journey to show the distance they'll cover...
It's exciting for him, but James and I are sad that we're not going... Instead, the poor Walsh's have to put up with us for the time Matt's out of the country. I'm sure it will be a hardship for them!!!!!!

Thats pretty exciting for Matt, tell him to take lotsa photos - suxs you dont get to go though, but sure your mum and dad wont mind!!
Hi Jane, Matt and James.
Just clocked in and saw your beee-oootiful photos and oh-so-witty comments too. Truly they are great pics. James is really growing fast and it is easy to see why everybody is smitten with him.
Good luck on the study tour Matt. Just keep your passport, wallet and credit cards safe and you will have a ball. The great thing for you is that you don't have to worry at all about Jane & James - they will have enough caretakers in Coffs to take great care of them.
All our love to you all
Max & Nora (in Mongolia right now)
