old man look at your life i'm a lot like you were.

So,

hello again. 3rd woofing farm was a bit weird to put it politely. people lived by some biodynaical bullshit laws where the only plant food when the moon is down and drink milk that hasnt been produced during these times. all very weird.

anyway Jackaroo school was great. pretty much learning natural horsemanship techniques and riding a horse. pictures will follow at some point. did loads of stuff too much to explain the details but we met dan and joanna there who we have now travelld to byron bay with, via a lift with tim, an aussie guy on the school too. Tim very kindly drove us for basically free for 6 hours to byron on his way to brisbane. we have since met up and been out with him for a few drinks and we shall keep in touch and meet again next week in brisbane.

his friend who came out has offered us a place to stay so we are hoping to take him up on this offer.

the plan for brisbane next week (or from thursday) is to go to australia zoo and a theme park and then generally hang out and see tim again.
will be cool if we are still travelling with dan and joanna but not sure when our plans will make us part.


some photos have gone up on Fb but more are to follow, a couple of silly vids are also on the blog.

see the local lads a fighter, loves a winner to fall...

so hello,

im writing to you all from bellingen, small cool relaxed little hostel. decided to just do a week at the bee farm place. not that it was bad or didnt enjoy it, did loads stuff, plenty of swimming holes and climbed the local mountain and the people were great.

also had australia day ( a little american for my liking) pretty standard not alot but community get togethers.

had 3 dayss in coffs harbour, small tourist town basically nothing there and it rained. last night we did get horrifically drunk on the 'goon' with a couple of workers and other travellers which led to a day of pretty much nothing but travelling for 1 hour and feeling like death. (missed our bus in the am too).

in bellingen booked a deal to do a canoe trip, which was great last night. and today did an 8 k hike through rainforest ( imagine the sweat leavels guys) but also some great sights and lunch under a waterfall. pictures will follow.

also swam at another waterfall after this and it was pretty sweet swimming through it too.
our surf lesson has had to be cancelled though as waves and swash are pretty dangerous (  if they are anything like coffs were then im not too disapointed as it was mental).

one farm from monday to friday nxt week the tamworth for jackaroo school. thats about all.

manning.
ps ed and tom ur phone calls were at the end of the goon drinking night. im sorry.
