Enjoyed watching the master at work this morning cantering figure of 8s on a 2m circle!!! I however was able to canter down the track, turn on a 6 pence and gallop back but it's not quite the same!!! Challor is a diamond!

It's interesting out here how you drive along and see the trees are black to 2/3rds of the way up! This is because the council set fires to kill off all the diseased trees/plants etc and the string trees survive and it keeps the forest healthy!

Australia is certainly an astonishing place, here the swans are black, a slight metaphor for the impossible to the British! With platypus' laying eggs and large animals hopping about it really is, slightly upside down!!! Here, each year, the trees shed their bark rather than their leaves, weird and wonderful!!!

Just been offered a 'youth development project officer' interview in gympie, for endeavour project, just north of Brisbane but doubt I'll make the interview date!

Had fun tonight reenacting crocodile dundees famous knife scene with Julie and owen!!! That's not a knife, that's a knife :0)
