Link spins top yarn on strange records Marley makes culture swap

YOUTH exchange student Marley Galet has swapped the mountains of Italy for the plains of Loddon for her Year 11 studies.

Marley, from Turin, started last week at East Loddon P12 College where she will study English language, visual communications, agriculture, general maths, biology and chemistry.

She is a horse riding enthusiast and last year won a European under 18 championship.

Marley said she chose Australia for her nine-month exchange as she wanted to travel to a place that she had never visited to experience a different culture. In Italy, Marley attends a science high school and her parents are English teachers. Marley is being hosted by Emma Holland and Laura Harding at Calivil.
