Wow! The view from your desk is absolutely amazing. You could sit and look at that all day and not get tired of it, it almost doesn't look real. The views from the oz tower look amazing too. I would imagine that working in oz is very much different to working back here, no comparison i'm sure!
Keep in touch
Lots of love Jennie. xx
The Monkey Mia tour sounds amazing. I think i'd have enjoyed being the girl who got made into Rambo with all the snakes! just my cup of tea! the pictures of the Z gorge look absolutely amazing.did you feel a bit sick looking down, looks quite high up where you were. I bet feeding the dolphins was amazing, i'd love to have a go of that.
Lots of love

Hey there Hi Catherine, still reading and enjoying your amazing travelblog! It sounds like you are having the time of your life. Im glad you decided to explore the outback a bit and saw Uluru, it would definately be on my list of things to see.
That lovely lantern lit art display sounds beautiful, too, I was in Cornwall a few weeks ago and saw a similar thing in St Ives (not as exotic as where you are, though!!)
Im not going to be around on Friday but I hope you have a nice time waving to everyone on webcam!
Take care and keep having fun

Hello Hello Catherine, Thanks for the pictures and news. I think that you are very brave going through all that you have had to endure. Some of the places that you have been to look amazing not to mention the experiences aswell. Take care of yourself.
Bye for now. Charles X
Ayers Rock?! If that's the first time you've cried, you are amazing! You've been on your own for three months - well done! And how come you're thinking about Ayers Rock? You were totally uninterested before you left! Make the most of every minute. Love Sian and Stuart x x x x

Grubby pic of you was funny too, bet it was agony for you being that grubby! keep the updates coming! missing you loads, Louise xx
I've finally found you! Hey sweetie! Okay so my email address has totally bombed on me so I have to use my crappy aol one so this is where I am! That's why I haven't been able to get in touch with you, so sorry! Oz looks amazing! Love your blogs! Hope you ok! Baby says hey! Luv you loads x x x x
G'day Hiya Catherine.
The weather here is pants. Your dad's bought more sand bags and a rowing boat "just in case".
Sounds like you are having a great time. The latest pics are great. The sands could easily be West Kirby beach though and the ferry could be Seacombe!!
Callum finishes school tomorrow for the summer. He has made friends with some hippies who have a shop selling weird rocks, so he is collecting rocks now. If you see any unusual rocks, can you send some home as it will save him about thirty quid a week?
Georgia is playing Sandy in the school's "Grease" play and has to sing three songs solo i think the audience will need earplugs.
We haven't seen much of the old buggers as they have been away in the caravan of love. They are on the classic car show this weekend and have to get dressed up in sixties clothes. They are no doubt looking forward to the OAP's special lunch.
Have you met any celebrities from Neighbours or Home and Away yet?
Take care. We look forward to the next blog.
PS Are you not supposed to be looking for a job?

Hello There Well you seem to be having a fantastic time. You survived the desert and then the fall down the hillside! At least you could get washed later. Work is going o.k. and I have an appointment in September with the specialist to see what they will do about the hernia. No more news at present. Keep sending the news and funny stories and of course the photographic evidence to back it up
Bye for now. Charles X
Wow we are amazed !!!! Hi Catherine, we have just got home today from our weeks holiday in the Forest of Dene, which was lovely, total chill out, but nothing. like the experiences you are having. You look great on the photos, lovely and brown. We where lucky with the weather it was great only rained one day. The cat has missed us, anyone would think she lives here. Missing you, very quiet here says your Dad. Back to work Monday for me your Dad has a couple more days off. Bet work is the furthest thing from your mind. Keep on enjoying yourself and keep the blogs coming we really enjoy them. Love and Hugs from us both xxxxxxxxx
what can we say but we wish we could see dolphins at home and not in the zoo . i swam with them in the dominican republic on my 21st birthday . love sharing your trip of a lifetime much love pam and alex
Looks like your having a whale of at time! Just read your last 2 blogs.You've done so much and seen so many things.Can't believe you held the snake and crocodile, i'd have been crying at that point! We got back from Dominican last Thursday.It was brilliant, so hot and just how i'd imagined, didn't want to come back to the crap weather back in UK.
The pictures you've put on are amazing can't wait to see all the others that you've taken.
Keep having fun and stay safe.
Lots of love
Jennie and Steve
After a quarter-life crisis I have decided to explore the world a little and take a career break to go on a working holiday in Australia. I have set up this journal so you can all keep up with my adventures and will try to update regularly and add photographs.
To receive updates each time I add a new entry click the subscribe button next to the map of the world. I look forward to reading your comments and emails to keep me updated on life back home (hint, hint - keep in touch!)
