The lake
This is where i work guys..nice? Rocky Mountains here i come...
Well the time has come where i must work. After a few weeks travelling around my next destination is Jasper.
Almost missing the shuttle because of useless cab/bus drivers, and mind you it wasn't the first time it happened, I leave Edmonton. It was a nice drive with plenty of scenery but before long darkness crept up meaning no mountain views until tomorrow. Met a few fellow Aussie's on their way back to work along with a German and a few Canadians.
Arriving to meet my roomie, I was offered a 'complemtary' beer and fell asleep soon after. The next day i woke to find i was surrounded by huge mountain peaks. We had a few things to take care of first but then had a chance to walk outside and take in some of the scenery.
Orientation was 2 days and involved a lot of blah blah don't shoot the animals your in a national park talk. Oh and the whole watch the Elk they will charge you down... hehe yep, they were right. We then got shown around the lodge and honestly i still ask where things are now!

Across from the lodge at the other side of the lake Since then I managed to get promoted into bartending on my second or third week since there weren't positions when i applied.
Always lots of partying here and then when you have time off, boy oh boy its time to explore and do things! Currently I have moved into an apartment which you can see in the photos and as for the lake, below zero means it's frozen! Winter has only just begun, here comes the snowboarding, icewalking in canyons, dogsledding, scenic plane tours, ice shoeing skating sliding and diving, and thats just another mouth full for you to read in my next blogs so don't change the channel just yet!...
...I'll keep you posted from Canada ... eh?!
