Thursday 9th April. We got up pretty early for a full days driving. The Border check was very exciting, went through our fridge, the back of the camper & the back of the car. With a clean bill of health we got going. I had another dose of Sinus, so drove first, knowing I would feel like **** come afternoon. We went through some amazing count...

When I was a kid growing up in Western Australia we used to swim a lot. It was hot after all. If you weren't swimming you'd have a cool shower (maybe several) and get changed to freshen up. Going from beach to pool to pool to beach to pool the only real difference you would notice is that in one the salt was stinging your eyes and in the other t...

Two more of my team members have been shown the door at BHP but for different reasons. John (Boilermaker) and Paul (Boilermaker) were given their marching orders while I was on my days off recently. John registered a positive alcohol reading before starting work. I don't know what reading he blew but see you later John. The total number of peopl...

Tough old morning this is going to be, leaving Mojo behind for seven weeks. He's in good hands & I know that he'll be looked after - just hope thathe doesn't pine for me as much as I will for him....

Kalgoorlie --- The home of the largest gold mine in the world. Apparently you can see it from space.... Great Outback country..

Last week saw the arrival of the little cobba, son of 'the Wilsons' (my surrogate family for those who've not being following). There was a load of intermittent talk about him needing new direction, new opportunities and all that so I said the only thing I could say under the circumstances: 'Put him on a plane.' They did. He arrived in one sweat...

Back home and back to work Thank you to everyone I've met on the way - you have all contributed in some amazing way to an fantastic adventure (except the horrible taxi driver in Mexico) Thank you to my friend Anne for sharing interesting conversations, personal truths, fabulous memories, awesome scenery, colourful characters, belly laughs, funny...

So here i am, minding my own business sieving for silver in the outback on a glorious day, the only person for miles around. Imagine my surprise then, when dipping my had in to a sample bag for more earth to put through my sieve, it reappeared with a ruddy great tarrantiala sat on it giving me a rather bemused look. smell it? i was sitting in it...

April 15th I was picked up early Wednesday morning and taken to a café in Midland to meet our new host families. We were greeted with lots of hugs and some coffee and crescents. My new host is Shirley who is quick to laugh and love. She is a wonderful woman. I went with her to the doctor's for a quick check-up, she got her nails done while I wal...

Day 1 Verdi's eye was no better in the morning so we made our first stop at the local opticians. After a quick emergency appointment the optician diagnosed a bacterial eye infection in both eyes and advised a visit to A&E to pick up some antibiotics. In stark contrast to A&E wards in the UK the place was deserted and doesn't have a doctor! We ha...
