	Situated in Melbourne Sandringham College started these exchanges, trying to visiting Kings Lynn every two years. After their first visit Springwood agreed to host the tour party. Sandringham hosted hosted on all our tours to Australia and visited Springwood 4 times. Unfortunately there trip in 2009 had to be cancelled but we hope they can make it in June 2010.
	Blue Mountains Gramar School is a wonderfully situated school on the edge of Sydney in the beautiful Blue Mountains. They have kindly hosted on all our tours to Australia. We have been trying to persuade them to visit us in the future.
	Rowville Secondary College was a new venue on the 2008 tour and as with every else on the tour we were very warmly received. We were invited by Carla Pincombe who we had first met in Sydney on the 2002 tour. After we had performed we were treated to their Rock Eisteddfod performance which consisted of over 100 students dancing on stage in a 5 minute extravaganza which was being entered into a state competition. It was a colourful performance full of energy and vitality.
Mallacoota P12 School For the 2005 tour we were looking for a rural school to host us and Malaccota turned out to be a superb place to visit. The scenery was spectacular but most of all the whole community were friendly and welcoming beyond words. Our return visit in 2008 did not dissappoint. We had a another great welcome and performed twice to the school and the comunity. They are planning to vist us in the near future.
	The Head of Drama, Stephen Clark moved from Plumpton to Hills Grammar and very kindly arranged for us to be hosted by his new school. Hills Grammar in the Kenthurst area of Sydney and is a superb school which looks more like a holiday camp than a school. It was a great place to end our tour in 2005and 2008. We are hoping they will be able to arrange a visit to England some time soon
	Ravenswood School for Girls is near the centre of Sydney and is one of the top Girls schools in the area with superb theatre. A lovely place to perform with a appreciative audience followed by a great sausage sizzle. We performed here on all 3 tours.
	Yara Valley Grammar School is on the edge of the wine growing region near Melbourne. They hosted us in 2002. In 2005 we returned to perform in their beautiful theatre which normally houses the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. The sight of hot air balloons appearing out of the mist in the mornings is unforgettable.
