finally able to overcome my own personal stigmas of self-image. I came to Mt.

Australia. Some of the most interesting interludes were those between the tours of Cambramatta and Newtown with our friend and tour guide Paul. Walking into the Vietnamese community, I noticed similarities between Cambramatta and the small city of Pomona, California, where I grew up.
