WEll hello again to everyone for what may be one of my very last journal entries, for this trip anyway!! So i am currently working on a farm in the Hunter Valley in a place called Gresford which is a very lovely place actually. Farm work is not too bad either, i'm working on a lettuce farm so there is plenty of picking lettuce, weeding lettuce, washing lettuce, weighing lettuce, bagging lettuce....... well you get the idea so nobody offer me a salad when i i get home cause i will be sick to death of bloody lettuce!!!! i am exaggerating of course there is also tomotoes, peppers and strawberries so its all very exciting. It is actually lots of fun, me and anna have our very own hut which is lovely and the scenery around us is beautiful.

Since we hav ebeen up here we have done loads. Made friends with some of the locals down the pub at the weekend which was a good laugh, Mark the farmer took us four wheel driving at the weekend which was fantastic, got some really good scarey photos from that! we have trips out to necastle and singleton and this friday there is a hypnotists on the village bowling club which i am really looking forward to seeing, but i shall not be taking part!! Had a night out in maitland and slept in the campervan in a car park, how backpackery! Its been really good fun and we are going back to Sydney at the weekend and i can honestly say i will really miss it up here, the people are lovely and the work is easy really so all has been good.

So thats about it so far and i guess my last journal update will be back in Sydney to round things off nicely! unless i get a chance to do one in Kuala Lumpa, may hav eto give it a go hey! that reminds me, nic any tips on where i should stay you did go there didn't you???!!

So take care everyone and i guess i shall be seeing you all shortly. Oh and thanks fo rthe messages Polly and april it was lovely to finally hear from you look forward to the catch up and of course thanks everyone for the messages it is great to get them!

anyway best go busy day of lettuce washing tomorrow! lots of luv me
