... handsome and quite well behaved. They then went off with my mum and dad to HJ's and a play centre while the rest of us went to the reception close by for an informal occasion where a few short but lovely speeches were given before platters of gormet finger food were passed around. Once again apart from a couple of tiny specks of rain, we ...

Mum recovering and bub doing well. After showing our van to a couple in Northam who are intersted in a doing a trip arund Australia next year, we headed off to Perth to the kids cousin house. 7 kids under one roof can be a lot of noise! Thankfully most of the time they all play well together.

... state where Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road are) has recently been devastated by bushfires, helped also by the hottest summer since many years. So we were expecting to suffer the heat during the second step of our Australian trip, but when the door of the plane opened...surprise...rain and 18 degrees! This was very good news for the bushfires, less so for our forecoming 21 days on a campervan along the coast! We've been freezing for two days in ...

... somewhat. The weather was absolutely beautiful, I had missed the hideous heat wave of 50+ degrees Adelaide has experienced and the days were a lovely, sunny 30+. The first couple of weeks I just hung out, Dave had holidays and we went to the York Peninsula for a few days. I started looking to some relief teaching work quite soon which proved to be harder than I thought it would. I think I gave my resume to over 40 schools before I started ...

... The emus were a little scary to feed but they were really gentle too. The way they eyed you and lunged for the food was a little freaky when you first did it though. My final night in Adelaide Chantelle and I went to a club called HQ for flashdance night. It was really fun retro music and the club was amazing and huge! They are also open a lot later so we didn't end up getting home till around 4 in the morning and my feet were killing! I had bought new heels that day which were ...

... Hibernia. On St. Stephens day, or Boxing day as twas known here, we spent the day up at Kim's parents place.

The next day the gang from Ireland began to ...

Wir hatten eigentlich ein ganz luschtigen Abend und da kommt man dann auch mal auf die Schnapsidee mit Stan am nächsten Morgen um 6 Uhr nach Melbourne zu fliegen um einen Truck abzuholen,der eigentlich Schrott war (Siehe Arbeiten und Wohen bei Stan) Weihnachten näherte sich ungewohnt schnell wie immer und ruck zuck wars dann mal der 24.

... gut geklappt hat. Die **sten 4 tage mussten wir noch im Hostel ,,My Place`` üb**nachten, weil das haus, in dem wir wohnten noch von Studenten besetzt war. Die Familie (bzw. Stan und seine Frau Lucy) hat ein Projekt für Auslandsstudenten, dass diese für wenig Geld (gut, es war eigentlich v**dammt viel, ca. 120 Euro die Woche Essen und Wohnen) bei ihnen wohnen konnten, bzw in einem sep**aten Haus. Wir hatten Glück, denn im dezemb** sind Semest**f**ien, das heisst ...

... but its been more or less sunny everday here. much nicer to camp in too! after a whole day of crossing over the Nullabor we finally reached a town called Norseman. this is the town at which the road splits either north or south. we decided to go north as it would be quicker for us to get to Perth.there is no doctors between Ceduna and Norseman which is over 1000km. this is when the Royal Flying Doctors come in handy. they use selected areas of the highway as runways too.
