Sounds amazing! Wow! Jasper, your writing is so expressive! It made me want to come straight up there and watch the sunrise of happiness at dawn. Pity I'm on the other side of the country in NSW at the moment... when are you back in Perth? Will I see you before I go? Hope you're playing lots of uke! Love Charlie
Your Haiku Hi Jazzy Jasper,
The photos are wonderful and I really LOVED the haiku - everything from sore legs, to the heavens, to the pleasure of new discoveries. Wow; isn't poetry great? A few small lines like the Tardis, bigger on the inside!
love from Gail
hurry back missing you Yes indeed another journey and very impressive thus far.........the modern day Christopher Columbus!! We had a long weekend this last weekend, I tutored both Saturday and Sunday. Ned and his mom came over for my birthday August 9th.......they say 70 is a special anniversary. I am at school now and it is so peaceful. Sito is busy with new house, painting, new kitchen, new laundry, new bathroom.......everything new. Take care and I look forward to next entries. love you amo. Hi to dad for me
Miss you! Hey Jasper! I love hearing tales from your adventure. Miss you heaps! It was so lucky that we got to catch up at Karijini. Good luck with the busking and give dad a big hug from me xoxoxo
well done :) welcome home :) ...feels like my journey has just begun! 2000k's down and at least 4000 to go! Better get my veggie system up to scratch! aaaaghh!!
We've been there! Hey Jaspa,
Uluru is a special place isn't it? Mark and I went there about 10 years ago. We didn't climb the rock out of respect for the aboriginal people. You have been doing lots of exploring and learning so many things. I hear you are in Adelaide now and I look forward to some photos from there too. We just got back from our holiday and it is 8.30pm but it feels like 11.30pm so I must go to bed before we head back to Pemby tomorrow. Keep telling us about your journey and I will show the kids tomorrow. We are doing Kitchen Garden this term.
Enjoy Adelaide,
Mrs Schmidt
water everywhere I have heard that there is a lot of water in the area you are going into so perhaps it might be worth asking around if lake eyre has enough water in it to make a trip worth while, its very rare and attracts a lot of birds and wildlife. We see a lot of caravans on the road lately as all the eastern state travellers are coming down from up north and are heading back home, they will get a shock when they see all the floods over there. how is the swag going ? keep the news coming!
great photos glad you managed to get the camera going again! the ones of the mobfest are very good and now we know what the wicked van looks like that you helped paint. they have had a lot more rain than us at Alice Springs this year and it certainly shows just how nature responds to a good season. Keep the photos and writing coming because its great to hear from you even though we sometimes dont have the same exciting news that you do.
Hi Jasper,
Its good to get another blog from you. What a lot of adventures you are having and seeing interesting places. Lucky the goanna didn't mistake you for a tree or it might have ran up your back to your head. Its starting to warm up here at last after a really cold winter. Where are you now?
Lots of love to you all
Back on the road again Hi Jasper,
Wow your writing is so descriptive. I feel like I am there. You are back on the road again I see. More journeys ahead. I enjoy seeing the photos, especially those amazing rocks and the lizard (good spot!). I will show this to the kids tomorrow at school. We have our Learning Journeys tomorrow night. Last week of school and we are heading to Melbourne and Sydney for our own little adventure. Speak to you when we return.
Mrs Schmidt
Hello Good to get your blog.Whats in the garden Kev?not much by the look of it. Watch out for the Crocs, Jasper. Bianca, I've nearly finished the Girl Who Played with Fire. Found it easier to read than the first one, probably more familiar with the characters and the Swedish names. Hojo has almost finished translating North to Matsumae and has applied for a grant for publishing it in Japan. I thought he had given up the idea.
Love to you all
What a nightmare! Here I was thinking you were having a drama with your wallet. Little did I know what was ahead of you. I am glad you found it as we all discussed who phoned who on Monday morning at work. I gather the Thai food have you the gastro? It almost warrants a phone call to the health department. I am glad you are both feeling better if not a little shell shocked. Sounds like Jasper is enjoying his home schooling. Cool stuff too. The Arts Festival went off without a hitch. Great night on Friday with all the winning acts and the bands did a fantastic job too (if I do say so myself). The guys doing the mixing (Jeremy mainly) did an awesome job. Marj organised a samba style parade with us teachers banging on stuff and making fools of ourselves in lots of colour and wigs. Good fun. Went to the Gloucester after that. Great night of fun and merriment. Feeling very average on Saturday as a result. A fundraiser for the Ambulance (all for a good cause). Swimming this week. Not my class but. I have all the left overs. I guess there has to be some repercussions for having such a small class. Keep me posted. Enjoy the sunshine and tell Kevin not to work too hard.
All the best,
Michele
Kevin on walkabout G'day Kevin, I've been following the travel blog,even when I was in Vietnam.
It's good to see the photos that you all include in the blog as it shows some of what you're
seeing and doing on the road.
Your time at this school looks interesting and I'm sure they'll want you to stay a while.
How long will you work there?
When will the wet come and trap you in the NT?
All the music happenings do sound exciting. Catch a big barra for me. Enjoy. Kim.
Borrrrn in The N.T!! WOW! Looking at those photos makes me happy :) Very N.T. Stirs something in me I think... How is it to be working out bush again? Must be a contrast to 21 years at Pemberton! :) They put you up in a house or do you have to rent? You should just keep gypsying it in the bus! haha! :)
Lots of Love,
Charlie.
