Off to the land down under :D: Frogs, nuff said

Oooops, didnt realise how long it has been since I last posted here. Today has been the only day off I have had in the past 2-3 weeks, and I used it to work on the car and sleep in.

So I last wrote when I was in Byron Bay, one thing, Byron Bay rocks! I did my scuba dive there, and wow! As in, WOW! It was the best dive ever ever ever. Went down to around 12 metres, and was surrounded by sharks, beautiful fish and crazy looking urchins n funny things. There were hundreds of sharks, and they just didn't care about me, a lot were just sleeping on the bottom, was so awesome!!! Ahh! Anyhoo, after taking some advice, I popped to a small town called Nimbin on the way out of Byron, HIPPIE TOWN. Everyone was just outside, lazing around smoking weed, even the police were smoking it. Nearly everyone I spoke to offered me some, and all the shops sell it or products with it in (eg cookies). It was just unreal, no hang ups about it and no trouble, was just fascinating at how they get away with it.

Im at my new job, although I leave here next weekend. It was only a 3-4 week job, but I am making the most of my time here, working my butt off. In the first 11 days I worked 145 hours, buts it is ok, as I know I am leaving very soon. Basically the reason I am here is to spread cow manure, 10000 tons of it. I spread it all over the paddocks, then plow it in to the ground. Once again, spending most of my time in a tractor, but I dont care, only here for another 7 days. The house (may as well be a shed), is a bit run down, but once again, I realise I am only here for a little bit longer. Also, my toilet always has frogs in it, which is a bit un-nerving when I need to sit on it, don't want the lil buggers jumping at me bum :p

Serviced the car, boy did it need it, also had to fix my leaky radiator. Also made some DIY curtains for the windows, basically I just cut up an old bed sheet and jam it in the windows. Ooo, and I fitted a mini fridge and adjusted the back seat to make it more comfy to sleep on. Reason I am doing all this is beacuse next week I will be driving to Cairns, along the coast, over 2000kms. Stopping off and Airlie Beach though for a few days, probably camp in my car, o yea picked up a mini gas stove too. Car is all kitted out now, clean and serviced. Meeting Meike, a friend I made on the training course, going to do some scuba diving, skydiving, bungee jump, paragliding and any other crazy fun thing I can find there. But I am looking forward to the heat in Cairns, as here in Texas a few nights a go, it went down to -3*c, everything was frozen, it sucked! I am not in Australia for -3*c!!!!!

Well, I best be doing my washing and then getting to bed, I hav.e work tomorrow

Bye all xxx
