photos are the wrong way round but who cares..... Above is what we picked an hour before lunch and below is what was left to do.......

PICKING

Well ok i better start off and apologise for not puting any photos up yet, i havnt put together the wireless in Alison and Brentons house yet so i am on one computer and it doesnt have the programs to upload my photos, sucky excuse i know. Anyways....... went out orange picking today, Treen and i picked 2 tons of oranges, its something around the $100 mark for that, phew i got scratched to pieces, got a few cuts but nothgin major, was kinda fun but kinda boring at the same time, bit repeatative. Going in to mildura tomorrow to hand out C.V to some schools and stuff see what i can get. Have also applied to work out with some other activity centres out an about around here and up near sydney. should be fun. Still havent seen a kangaroo yet thou..... and ther suppose to be everywhere, I did see a parrot thou, Lou you would love the wildlife out here, think ur camera would be full in a day or two thou, even with ur big memory cards. bloody ants here are teh size of a four leaved clover and apparently treen tells me these are the smegging small ones.

Love you all and miss you lots

Flights and Day one in OZ

Heya people, flight was alrite, not a fan of prop planes thou, coming into mildura was a lickle bit hairy, plane got shook around like mad. Man 24 hours in a plane is a damn long time, glad thats over. First day in Oz has been great, dont wana leave. Walked down to the murray river around 6.45ish and it was beautiful, kookaburra's singing in the back ground. as i sat there i can only imagine that im guna fall in love with this country and with katrina more and more..... it has really been like just coming home, her parents are amazing, dog is lovely, and i cant stop smiling... guess thats good :-D

have arrived at the conclusion that british opinion of australia is completely wrong, as we flew over melbourne  i expected it to be quite barren and brown but all i could see out of the plane was green fields, as we approached mildura it was also very green misconceptions all round by us british i think. I cant wait for 2moro, brenton (katrina's dad) and alison (katrina's mum) cooked a pork joint for us on a webber which is like a round bbq with a lid but without coals all around the food only to the sides.... man it was good.

2moro am going into the town of mildura to sort out my bank and katrina's work etc should be fun... i really cant wait.

will add again soon.

much love to all my family and friends. Xx
