Ben's back!

Ben has been in Australia forever, and thanks to a delayed flight and resulting missed connection he got back a day later than he was supposed to. But, he's here now, and he brought me a stuffed wombat and some kangaroo-infested Australian money!

The wombat lives in a "wombank."

Seriously, they have kangaroo money!

While he was down under, Ben learned that Melbourne was founded by Batman. John Batman, that is. Lots of stuff is named after him as a result:

He also learned that the Australian equivalent of the Ivies is the "Sandstones," for self-explanatory reasons:

I guess he also learned stuff about robots, since that was the whole point of his trip, but mostly I wanted to hear about Batman and wombats.
