23 June 2002 It was 9am when I left for my next week's job in Temora, which is a small country town in central New South Wales. Always looking for new roads to travel on, I checked my map which indicated I could head into territory I had not visited before, although it was going to be forty-seven kilometres longer. From Seymour I followed the Goulburn Highway through Shepparton and Numurkah and crossed into New South Wales near Tocumwal. I was now on the Newell Highway; it was only a few weeks ago when I was in this area, working in Griffith. Just north of Jerilderie, the landscape doesn't change much.

16 June 2003 From time to time I find myself in a town that I have not visited before and that’s good. On the other hand because I have been with this company so many years its inevitable, return trips to areas are becoming more normal. The first year is great because I can explore places of interest. Some are worth a return visit but most are not. Once the morning session is finished, I find myself in front of the TV and believe me there is little that interest me there. I still enjoy travelling to these country towns and sometimes stop to capture on film part of country life. On this trip to Kyabram I passed an old deserted hotel near the town of Murchison and got some good shots before getting on with ... read more

hey stl blog team(i.e. Liza) So i have completed my labour on the boat and now i am on my way to being dive certified. Today I learned the basic of the gear, bouyancy and such in a pool.

It looks as though i will be able to have an underwater camera so perhaps some hip pictures may result. Thats all for now. talk to you later(liza). ... read more

holler! welcome to the blog chris! good to hear from ya. so i have had some fun in the last few days. Lara and i, with some newly made aussie friends went to Fitzroy island...which is a sort of beautiful luxary island off the coast of Cairns. We went snorkeling around the reef and saw lots of colorful exotic fish and coral. Then we hiked up to the summit of the island a dandy 360 view of surrounding islands. to finish off the day we relaxed on Nudey beach. Yes, this was a nude beach. no i didnt strip down. by the time we got there, most people were chilled out and no longer nude. apparently that sort of things happens earlier in the day. anywho, it truely was a tropical paradise. The next day was ... read more

yip yip yippEEE SO i have had a splendiferous weekend. It started at a campus bar called Stingers....where all the hot college co-eds hang to get drunk. That night was a special "Rocky horror picture show" evening...with live band and an end of school year crowd. Being the transvestite wanna-be that i am, i decked myself out in one of Lara's hot black skirts, tight black tops, and yummy stuffffed bra...and all the proper goth makeup as well. I was lookin fine. Lara also dressed similar, one could even say, lesbian-like similar. fortunatly there were plenty of others also decked out in full spooky garb. The night brought some interesting encounters for me. First, a sort of butch like lesbian who was dancing next to me and lara took it upon herself to sort of start ... read more
