auntie jo,uncle rick and girls hi sweetheart sorry not written for a while but kids off school and life been hectic. your pics are great and i think you a very brave girl cos i wouldn't stay where they were snakes. you really look as if you enjoying it. i am glad you got a job so you got a bit of money fot your hooch. well like i said girls are on holiday and doing my head in, even to the point that i worked bank holiday monday all day. they go back to school next week (hooray) but then charlie there a week and then she got to have her tonsils out and be off school for another 2 weeks. Hopefully her throat will be to sore to talk and she may be quiet(I dont think so). Like your mum said we looked after pub and dogs last weekend and believe me it was easy doing the pub than looking after dogs. Bailey a little sh.. he keeps jumping all over lucy and she dont like it. I found them upstairs on Sat night bailey was chewing the fireplace and lucy was laid on the settee when i told them to go out bailey ran to his cage and lucy just grumbled at me and slowly walk out of room. When we ask lucy where you are she goes mad she starts barking and howling as if she calling you, think she missing you like we are and wants you home. All the kids say hi and keep asking when you coming home, Charlie says now she 5 you should be home. It was her birthday last week and she got a nintendo, so now like the other two i cant get any sense out of her when she playing on it. Anyway got to go and get my beauty sleep cos i up early in morning to clean your mums pub and Uncle rick got to look after it for day so your mum can have a day off. Love you loads and missing you, keep the pics coming and hopefully will see you soon, take carexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Amy Hey again! Well as I was saying!.....I really enjoyed the tour to Ayers rock. I saw the ayers rock and sunset and sunrise and the colours of the rock were sensational my photos just dont seem to do it any justice. I also saw Kata Juta and Kings canyon. Each day was an even bigger hike. The last day we did Kings canyon so we had to climb up the mountain so we cud be at the top of the canyon...it was so scarey cos it was all so steep. Both nights we slept in things called swags which were basically matresses on the ground. They r so cool, even though it was about 5 degrees outside I was lovely n warm inside. Its so nice aswell cos you are literally sleeping under the stars so I fell asleep both nights just starring at the sky, it was so beautiful. I saw so many shooting stars but I tried to make a wish upon them but they r just too fast. The second night was the most remote Ive ever felt. We stayed in the middle of the bush and was given a spade and sum toilet roll for our toilet hehe. It was amazing though cos there was just nothing for miles around us apart from pure bush and we just hunted for good fire wood and set a fire going and placed all our swags around the fire. our tour guide got out the guitar and we toasted marshmellows and sang along to his songs. Ive had such an experience with both tours and wish I was back on them cos I had such a good time. I then spent a few days after in Alice Springs which I didnt like that much and then last monday evening me and stef caught the gahn train from Alice Springs to darwin. It took a full day. We had a stop off in Katherine which wasnt that great just full of abboriginals sat drinking their lives away. Ive now been in darwin a week and I really like it. Its soooo hot and they hold night markets down on the beach every thursday and sunday nights and we go down for sunset and watch the sun go down over the ocean which is beautiful and then have a walk around the markets. I also have a job in a bar/nightclub/restaurant next door but one from my hostel so its pretty handy for me. Im now into my last 4 weeks in Australia and Im so sad that its cumin to an end....I never want it to end, I love it out here so much! I hope ure all ok..keep me updated on what ure up to! Love you all loads xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Amy Hey! Well Ive been extremely busy these past few weeks. After arriving in cairns from working in the outback I got booked onto a tour from cairns to Alice Springs. I sat off on the saturday morning really early..did you know that there was two 6's in one day??? Well I do now hehe! The journey took three days and it was such an experience and I learnt so much along the way. It was so different to anything that I have done b4. The first night we spent in a small outback town called hughenden in a country pub. It was quite cool, we met some fun people there. The second night we spent on a cattle station in the middle of nowhere which was well cool. We ate dinner around the camp fire and we went star gazing at night where I learnt all about the stars and also I saw my first deadly wild snake in the outback, it was amazing! We then arrived in Alice Springs and then we went on the Ayers Rock tour which was so good! We did on average a 7km hike everyday so it was quite challenging for me after eating loads of rubbish on the previous trip. They feed you well. I saw Ayers rock which was out of this world. A lot of people say its just a big red rock in the middle of nowhere but it meant a lot more to me than that, I had a big smile on my face the whole time. Anyway Im about to kicked out of the computer place so I will finish my story later Love you all so much xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Amy Ello everybody! Hope your all ok! Well Im now back from the outback and Im loving being back to civilisation. I think at first when I got signal back I was a bit unsure how to use my phone cos I just sat there starring at it haha. Im now back in Cairns though and Im just sorting my online tax return out so I can fund my travels now. So glad to have left the outback, it was such a beautiful place so tranquil but the owners were so rude and I cudnt stand the way they talked to me and stef half the time, I really dont understand why some people are so arrogant and the lady owner just made me feel so stupid all the time, I do however feel proud that I stayed for 3 weeks and bared it. Jayne my friend left this morning for home it hasnt hit me yet I dont think that she has gone, its sad now though cos everything is starting to come to an end. I will hopefully be updating my pics in the next couple of days for you all to have a look at. Hope everything is ok at home! Love you all very much xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

mum n gary hi amy sweetheart. just thought i'd post this for you to welcome you back to civilisation, i'll ring you as arranged. love and miss you loads. mummy. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Amy Hey every1 just a quick message to let you know that I have made it to the outback and that I am safe! Its a lot different here I have no signal on my phone and no internet so I can't really get in touch with any1 and it is literally in the middle of nowhere there is nothing around but Im ok and will be in touch asap! Love you all loads xxxxx

Amy Hey every1, Thank you so much for all my birthday gifts and cards, I had the best day ever! Im now in Cairns, didnt manage to get any work in Townsville although I did get two days work handing out leaflets, promoting the full moon party which was ok cos we ended up gettin drunk b4 we went out and then just stayed out for half an hour and went to meet the rest of our friends so was pretty good! I left b4 the other girls to go up2 Cairns cos Emma who I met in Brisbane was coming back out to Australia so I wanted to be there to meet her. So I went up on my own and ended up meetin with Potter and his friend from back home that night, it was so lovely to see him! The next day emma came, I'd had such a nightmare with the hostel cos all the rooms were crawling with bed bugs it made me feel sick, I had to even empty out all of my case and freeze it for 24 hours. So we stayed there just for a couple of nights then we were outta there!! We checked into a really nice hostel which Ive been staying at now for the past two weeks. Lindsey and Jayne weren't too far behind me cos they arrived a week later and also did Stef. Whilst I waited for Stef to get to Australia and Lindsey and Jayne to travel up2 Cairns from Townsville me and Emma got a job labouring hehe! It was the hardest work I have ever done in my life, I was sweaty and dirty covered from head to toe in sand and dust but it was fun! But I think they would have preffered guys cos we just got so tired and we couldn't do half of the work they wanted us to do cos it was such heavy lifting so they only kept us on for two days, but it was a bit of extra cash! I went to meet stef at the airport, was so gud to see her again! Ive had such a gud time in Cairns, Ive had such gud people around me and my birthday just topped it off. My birthday just started off so good. I got woken up by my friend Emma at half 7 cos she was leaving for a trip up north so she came in to wish me happy birthday and gave me a present and a card, then a very special boy came in to wish me happy birthday aswell and then we went for breakfast where I recieved lots of lovely phone calls from people wishing me a happy birthday, stef let me have some of her nutella on toast which was yummy :-). I went back and opened all my cards and presents and lindsey, Jayne and stef all got me something which was so nice of them. I then got ready for my sky dive. I was so nervous. The plane was so tiny and was painted like a green monster. I climbed in and then I just started shaking like mad. I was so scared for the take off and then when we were climbing my instructor tied me to him. When we reached 14,000ft the door opened and Ive never been so scared in my life. It all happened so quick, b4 I knew it he was trying his hardest to push me to the front of the plane but I had my feet wedged to stop me from moving. He managed to get me to the door then he had to prise my feet from the door frames haha. I cudnt stop screaming that I cudnt do it then he just pushed me out and said tough luck. OH MY GOD!!!!! It was the best thing I have ever done in my life, it took a while to actually understand what was actually happening but the views of the great barrier reef were amazing and free falling was such a gud feeling! When the parachute opended it hurt like mad but then it was just so gud and I even landed on my feet. THE BEST!!! They gave me a bottle of champaigne at the bottom, I so needed it. We then went back and got ready for our meal, me, stef, lindsey and Jayne went to an italian on the esplanade which was gorgeous and they suprised me by bringing out a cake and the whole resteraunt sang happy birthday to me, I wanted to cry! We then went back and me and stef went to pick up our sky diving certificates and when I got back to the room they had suprised me again by dressing the room up in banners and balloons and streamers, it was so good, they are the best! We then went out and I had such a good night. Ive just got back from a day trip to the heart shaped island in the great barrier reed called green island. It was amazing. I went snorkeling and saw loads of fish and the island is just beautiful. Im now just gettin myself sorted cos me and the girls have got a job in outback australia working in a country pub so we leave for there very early in the morning. Hopefully they will have internet there, but keep in touch and I will try to get to a computer to let you know how it all goes. Love you all loads xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
