Hello all its Luke,
I thought I would give this a bash but bare with me because it obviously won't compare to Chris. He has the writing talent and I have the charm and looks.....!
Right I am currently in Innisfail at the mo and have been for the past 6 weeks. It's about one hour's drive south from Cairns and basically like Bracknell but more inbreds and fewer pubs. I am working on a banana farm humping banana's and for all you sick minded people its not humping them its carrying the bunches from the tree to the trailer. They each weigh between 50-80 kg's which makes them pretty darn heavy. It's a good crack thou and we have a good time, only today my manager found a snake in a bunch so he thought it would be funny to pin it down then pick it up and chase us around with it. I was not amused and even more so when he sprayed my hair with blue spray paint. I am guessing as this is my last week it's going to be a long one with many pranks!
Thank you for all my birthday messages, cards and text's. I was aloud the day off so we started early and finished late as you can imagine. Some girls at the hostel brought me a cake but it didn't last long as my good friend Paul who I met on the bus here pushed my head into it. The girls went to get some plates and forks but when they returned it was sprayed and chucked over the whole front porch......at least I had one good bite! They also made me a cracking DVD with all our photos on it with music in the back round which was really cool. The following day we hired a car and all drove up to cairns for a night out which was even better than the previous night.
If you have seen my photo's you will also see we went rafting for the day at the Tully River. The rapids go up to a level 4 which was quite daunting but we took them in our stride and came out unscathed. It was only after our tour down the 16km stretch of river that our guide told us that two people had died on the river in the past month and we done really well. Phew!
Paul and I also went to the croc farm that Chris mentioned which helps me out in this section as I don't have to write about it....... Wahoo!
Other than that it's been early nights and lots of poker being played. I've cleaned up a few times but have hit a dry patch at the mo so need to get into shape. It's been a great experience and even thou the work has been hard I have met loads of good people and ill be traveling south with Paul to meet Chris in Sydney for New Year. My next stop is magnetic island which from the picture looks very nice indeed so roll on next Monday!
I Hope this has partially satisfied your blog needs from the amazing adventures of Chris and Luke so for now.......over and out party people!
Lots of love Luke xxxxx
