Dear All, so i'm back at pymble, the last rowing camp finished yesterday. I spent a week at jindabyne on the senior rowing camp and then a week at nanabean in sydney on the intermediate and junior camps. It was alot of fun, i'm knackered from 16 days of getting up at 5:30 and i'm straight back into it as tomorrow the seniors start so i'll be up at 4:30. The senior camp was probably my fav camp, the girls are great, i was stroking one of there quad...

OK so i'm on the rowing camp and its incredibly hard but more about that when i have more time. Yesterday we were on a walk when we noticed a big smoke cloud, not that unusual as there are bush fires around but it was huge. So last night the coaches sat around and discussed whether we were going to be able to climb mount kousiosko tomorrow which is the tallest mountain in oz.

My final journal entry from this county. Its my last day and i'm in auckland, i leave early tomorrow morning.

We didnt have our swimmers with us so we had to go in our underware...

We went to a local beach which wasnt so local at 45min drive away. It was nice though all though abit cold so me and rosie didnt swim. That night we had a feast as always and went to some local bars, there was meant to be a grumpy mole around but apparantly it had closed. The bars played loads of hip hop, not r...

OK here goes, we always do so much between journal entries its like a mamouth mission to recal it all a week on. So going back in time, i believe i left you last at queenstown. In queenstown we stayed in the discovery lodge backpackers, which wasn't that nice, really dark corridors, 8man doorms, bit manky, definitly a case for flipflops in the shower and REALLY noisy at night. We were in the centre, with a bar beneath us, clubs to the side and opposite and so...
