Kids' Lit Quiz Team Australia
 
After a very long flight and not much sleep in 24 hours we landed in Durban. I think our heads had hardly hit the pillows before we were snoring happily.
After a hearty breakfast we went for a walk along the beach and a splash in the waves. The weather is gorgeous - so much warmer than Canberra winter.
Lunch was yummy and oh so cheap!
We have caught up with the other teams except two of the US team who were stranded at JFK.

With Nick and Leo already in South Africa, it was up to James R and James P to model the
team jackets this morning at training. 
Today was the last training day before the boys head off on Saturday.

 
The team has been training extremely hard in the weeks leading up to the World Final. We meet each Tuesday morning before school.  A new category is set each week.

On Thursday 13 June the team met with Mrs Gai Brodtmann (Member for Canberra). The boys chatted to Mrs Brodtmann and explained how the quiz works - from heats to the World Final. They shared their favourite books and the exciting week planned in Durban.
