Huh, I didn't realise that places *charged* for electives.
We got 16 weeks for ours (the good old days - 1998!) and I spent 8 weeks of that in Sydney, staying at Ryde Hospital and based at a Developmental Disabilities centre. (I've checked my journal and I first name check all the people but never mention the full name or location of the centre!)
I had a great time, both socially, as a tourist AND medically. I'm fairly sure that if I had not seen the light (Emergency medicine!) my time in Sydney would have still been useful to me today.
Your placements sound excellent and I bet you'll see and do some really interesting things in Orange, smaller hospitals always do tend towards allowing everyone to be more hands on. And everyone knows everyone, which is mainly a good thing.
