Well, guys. A bit of breaking news for you.... my work burned down at the weekend. Crazy, hey? Well, the building is still standing, but the inside is completely gutted by fire and smoke. It's such a shame. I can only compare it to a school going up in flames. So much work and equipment, all gone. Vandals set fire to the bins at the back of the building in the middle of Friday night and it quickly spread inside, melting a metal door. The building is unsafe, and...

Hi, just a quick blog as it has been a quiet couple of weeks. I have been working as normal at Northside. I have got the job to do respite care with children and start in the school holidays. I have a week off from Northside at the beginning of October and Katrina and I are going up to to Gold Coast to Surfers Paradise for 5 days from 1st to 5th Oct. Should be nice! And we get to spend Kat's birthday there! I have looked into casual teaching over here too, ev...

I've had a busy week, but managed to do some well-needed chilling this week too which is a nice balance. Work is still going well. This week has gone quite quickly, which is always good.

It's such a beautiful boat ride too, as you go through the harbour and see the Ope...

Wow! Week 2. What a good one! Has been hectic, but I'll keep it short. Taken lots of photos, and maybe that'll help to explain what I've been doing. I have been out loads! Drinks, meals, sighseeing! Excellent. I went into the city on a beautiful day and saw the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House and of course went for drinks in Darling Harbour. I have visited Palm Beach which is where they film Home and Away, and unfortunately did not bump into the legend that i...
