I received a phone call a few days ago from Brian Belcher in Launceston. He's started an Esperanto course at the Launceston equivalent of the U3A and he's into his third week and has 16 students!
Gratulon al Brian. Eble la komenco de Esperanta dinastio en norda Tasmanio, ĉu ne? Sciinda, ke Hobarto ne estas la sola loko en Au~stralio por eksplodo de novaj Esperantistoj.
Congratulations to Brian. The beginning of an Esperanto dynasty in northern Tasmania, maybe? Nice to know that Hobart is not the only place in Australia for an explosion of new Esperantists.
