The Sebel Perth

So another Monday morning brings about a new job hunt!! Things are looking up for Kirsty and Jamie though as they have a rather promising job on an island...

I head down to Aussi Jobs where I get caught up in a 'why am I not on the farm?' scandal and then I have to sell the place to this Swedish couple who want to head down there. It's not hard to sell it though because the ...

... can handle the attack, nor can my sleepy head take it + plus i gotta be packed up and checked out by 10am. So will go and explore a little bit more before getting some food and an early (by mightnight) night. Had an amazing combination chow mein in chinatown for lunch today which was lovely, but had a crash course in how to use chopsticks. Took me a while and for the last few morsels i resorted to using the soup spoon but i think i managed ok.

Anyway, the tiredness is ...

I can't believe there's only 12 days. 12 DAYS!!!! How am I going to get everything done?!
I think I'll be more excited when everything is planned. Or maybe when I'm on the plane.
No definitely not when I'm on the plane. I'll still be freaking out on the plane. But I'll definitely be excited when I get there! [Sleep deprived, motion sick and deaf....but excited - so I'll be a very happy zombie walking around London [to the nearest caffeine drip].
Argh! 12 days!!

... i would get a UTI! but everything crossed- i think i'm nearly back to normal now.
So thats all up to date. Went into work yesterday- still had no hours. Went to an agency and got a job in the country within an hour. its a shame- that place really could have been a wicked place to work but the people skills of those there were lacking to say the least! at least i got some good cheese for a while. and now i hope to get some good beer!
went to Old Shanghai, this time joined ...

... said to me.....they put something in the steaks in australia!

So after a discussion about the weather and flight (as you do) we headed back to my aunties. The first thing I noticed was how big aussie cars were, mainly because I was getting a lift in one! Plenty of room for my rucksack in my cousin's toyota 4x4 hilux thing! Probably not so much room for my cousin Simona's stuff, as I have heard all about! Anyway after a few mins on the road Stevo asked if I'd ...

... aged! They have two great kids, who we now know as Pepsi & Shirley, who introduced us to the joys of being woken up first thing by bursting into our room every day singing " good morning, good morning....". Ok, very sweet for the first day or so (they are 7 & 4 respectively) but after 5 days of it we were knackered!

So knackered in fact we decided to take refuge in the campervan that we'd picked up and went for an early test drive ...

... precariously amongst the Tall Trees on a very wobbly tree top walk. An interesting night at Pemberton - as we arrived Sylvia commented on the attractive sunbeams through the trees - it turned out to be a bush fire in the middle of the town but no-one there seemed too bothered so we stayed in a motel with smoke and flame just 40 ...

... accordi e parole scaricati da internet, e gli zingari si scatenano. Tra le tante, vale la pena di ricordare le serate a tema: Beatles, Queen, Police, Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, eccetera eccetera. Il talento di Matthew attenua un po' quella sottospecie di rumore fastidioso simile al gracchiare di un branco di corvi che esce dalle ugole d'oro del resto della banda. Per cercare di compensare i danni inflitti al proprio corpo da troppe feste, gli zingari sono stati "molto" attivi ...

... very large fish and a stingray skimming the seabed. We saw a couple of Skippy Kangaroos bouncing across the road near Gina's house and tonight we are heading to a big Weir were they all congragate. Our stay here has been perfect and a nice family break with plenty of food. Every house we have been to we have eaten like Kings, BBQ's, cheeses, steaks, the lot. Our next stop is Sydney were the weather doesn't seem to be as nice so we'll report back shortly. Much Love

... My travel partner will be Tom, aka "The kid", a young, cheerful and agreeable English chap just under ten years my junior... who has come to Australia in search of work and adventure, like his predecessors. I will drop him off in Melbourne and continue the journey on my own from their. Im excited to basically have a set place to live for the next three weeks after being homeless now for over four months. I don't know how often I will be in ...
