I've been in communication with Uncle Ben who is living in China, and he caught an insect which is called a cricket and asked if anyone had seen one like it. I've sent you the photo which Uncle Ben sent me for you to see the cricket he caught.
Although I have often seen different kinds of cricket here in Australia, they are not quite the same as the one Uncle Ben found in China. I sent Uncle Ben some pictures of crickets here in Australia, and pictures of some very big crickets which are found in New Zealand called – WETA crickets. I thought you would like to see these pictures too.
You will see from the pictures how large they are. Of course, crickets are quite harmless creatures and it is quite safe to pick them up, but if you see one in the garden it's best to ask your Daddy or your Mummy if it OK to touch it. I hope you like my pictures of different kinds of crickets.
Did you like the photos I sent of my beautiful Jacobean Lily which is flowering?
On Tuesday I had to go to town to do my shopping and collect my mail at the Post Office, and I bought some new batteries for my digital camera so I'll take some more pictures for you when I see anything interesting which you would like to see. It has been very cold, wet weather and not very good for taking photos, but when the weather clears up and we have sunny days again I'll take some photos for you. - Is the weather cold in Brisbane?
I've been inside most of the time lately, reading and doing my study, so I don't have very much to tell you about the things I have been doing around the farm.
This is the end of my letter now, but I will write to you all again sometime, and I will try to take some nice photographs for you.
Remember - I love you all very, very much.
Uncle Roger
