But by the time we had cooked the squid we had caught in Denham the flies were driving us all nuts. I wanted to phone home as my Mum was due out of hospital from her hip operation.

Early wednesday morning I arrived at the Minilya Roadhouse. Where was to be working for the next week. Tiff introduced me John and Jenny the mangers, who informed me of the unfortunate problem with staff. Apparrently they had had an older couple working for them and the victorian police had turned up a couple of days ago and taken the husband for being a known peodofile. On top of that two other members of staff quit because they didn't think it was fair that the guy had been arrested, makes no sense to me. Anyway I found it quite nice working at the roadhouse.

De rest van de kust is hier ... read more

On The Road Again, Reef Break, Princess Shirly, Muddy River & Johnnie Jump, Top Of The Genocide List, Moon Window. (First appologies, this crap PC does not have USB so i cant upload any pics (will try to another time), It also lacks word or any other typing program to manage my spelling. Think Phonetics, i doo.)

With our cabin feaver reaching its zenith we decide to take Bruces bright yellow Hyundi Getz hire car (from now on called Mellow Yellow) up the coast a hundred and a bit k's. Packed with kite, camp and beach ... read more
