This map shows where the Earth's most recent earthquakes have happened. Even though it is inside the boundaries of a tectonic plate, Australia experiences earthquakes regularly; sometimes they cause significant damage.

We’ve had more messages from Cointha, our travelling class member. She’s in Rome, and sent these comments (follow the link and scroll down) as well as the email we read in class. She has visited the Colosseum, pictured here, as well as many of the other amazing sights of Italy.

In the last couple of weeks Cointha has been in Paris, Tuscany, Florence and the Cinque Terre, as well as a host of other places.  Soon she and her family will be heading to Pompeii and Sicily. Have a great time Cointha!

This blog has been open since January 1, 2008, although it’s only been in class use since the end of January when we started the new school year. Since then, we have had visitors from ten countries: Australia (of course!), USA, England, France, Netherlands, Iran, South Korea, Israel, New Zealand and Canada. That’s a pretty good spread, I think.

So, what brings these visitors? How do they find us? We know that our travelling class member Cointha has visited our site from England, France and the Netherlands. We know that some people from the USA linked to this site from last year’s blog. What about the others? How did they find us?

If you are a visitor that doesn’t know one of us personally, we’d really appreciate your posting a comment to tell us how you found us. Thanks!
