  • Finally a Holiday.........

    For me that is.  My husband is a teacher so everytime the kids go on holidays so does he.  Me on the other hand dont get the regular holidays.  I cant actually remember when i last went on holidays.

    Working at a strip club i earn my holiday hours but i really dont take holidays, i really dont need them that often.

    Anyway, i am abandoning Ali and Garth and leaving town for a week starting tomorrow to go to Lawn Hill with the family.

    We went there about 3 years ago but only go to stay for 2 days.  This time we are staying longer and we have rented a camper trailer.

    It Should be fun......................I will let you know.

    My latest camping trip

    We all went camping 2 weekends ago with our friend Andrew "The Bushman" Neumann.  If you need to know anything about camping, 4wding, rocks!, anything to do with the outback he is the man to go to.

    His car is the white nissan in the background of the first picture.  Its a bloody tough car, the shit i have seen him do in that car just scares me.  On this camping trip he had a "few" beers, jumped in his car, drove over a rather large dead tree and bent his side rail and dented the door of his car. Just because he felt like moving his car and the only way to go was OVER the log instead of around it.

    In this photo is Mike and Ethan holding pepsi.  It was her first camping trip, she loved being outdoors but every once and a while she kept disappearing, we eventually found her fast asleep in the tent.

    She is so tiny i was worried a Hawk was going to take her for a snack and believe me we have lost ducklings and chicks because hawks saw them and felt like a snack.

    This is my eldest son Sebastian, wearing his ipod in the middle of the bush because he would rather listen to his music then talk to his family.  He is so emo, i recently dyed his hair black because he begged his father and i to do it.  He says at least he doesnt get called "ranga" anymore.

    This is Andrew, my favourite bushman.  Doesnt he look so country?

    Here Andrew is teaching gun safety to Ethan and Isaac.  Oscar took so much notice that he
    he walked in front of the gun just before it was shot.....good listening Oscar.

    The views of the outback.  This photo might look good but its so damn dry out here.  I didnt include the photos
    of the dead cattle because they just dont look pretty.

    One of the many abandoned mines in the Mount Isa outback.  There are literally giant holes everywhere.
    You could fall in them and no one would even know.  We have taught the boys to keep right away unless
    we are with them.

    Andrew trying desperately to recover from last nights drinking binge.  It didnt work, he had to go
    home and have sleeps that afternoon.

  • More of me...........

    Thankyou "me" for your comment. It would be nice to know who you are?

    You will certainly being seeing more of me around, especially more photos.

    I am going camping with the family this weekend so i will take the camera and go photo crazy.

    Im not sure if people will like photos of where i live, its pretty damn dead and brown at them moment.

    Living in the outback can be pretty hard sometimes and we miss the rain a lot.

    Last year was the hottest, driest year on record with absolutely no rain and our damn down to a trickle.

    We need a good flooding but it seems the other side of the world is drinking up all the rain.

    You can see from these photos how damn dry it is.

    Lots of lovely bulldust floating around.Playing footie in the bulldust Camping in the outback 4wd and camping

    My male kitten is madly in love with them and spends more time with them then their own mother does.

    Aint they cute?

    I have 2 left to find homes for.  Three leave this friday and i swear i will have a tear in my eye when they leave.
