Back in October/November we were thinking that we would love to work on an Australian outback farm for 2 reasons; 1. Primarily to save some dosh and; 2. to experience the "real" Australia. Mark mentioned this plan to his brother, Simon, who lives in Sydney and in no time at all it ... Read Full Entry

Put that rifle down, Kate!
Nice to see you guys doin' a bit of work for a change, although I notice that the beer is never too far away! Sounds like an awesome experience! I could have done without that reminder of my self-inflicted injury, Kate....ouch, even 10 years later!!

Howeryiz Was just thinking - what are your plans for Easter? We have nothing on, and were wondering if you fancied meeting up for a few days? We could fly up to Queensland and catch up with you on the road. Happy to tent it and leave you in the wicked van. Let us know if it's practical. Hope you're enjoying Uluru and had a good time in Melbourne. Been smoking hot in Sydders - spent all day on the beach today - Row very impressed by the sand-hole. Also got some favourable comments from some passers-by (also regarding said sand-hole!). Kate - hope the hangover's finally cleared! xxx Simon
