... to Newman rather than staying! So Newman was HOT! And we had to stay in our swag at the caravan park. Quite a few people thought we were mad and we were sharing the park with about 200 mine workers. Of the tourists we did see most were heading south and the others really were mad like 2 danish motorbike riders heading for Karijini and Tom Price. Things improved when our boss arrived and had us booked into the Seasons Hotel, ready for the trip back to Cotton Creek community the next ...

Police Plane Crash
... Infact the whole contract issues have such massive complications for me and my life here in Australia it's a wonder I am not up on that table 12 hours a day!!
Early morning chats with Han in the sunshine amongst the scanning and this week is done before I know it!

A lie in on Saturday whilst Dayne ...
