I can't remember what I put on my application for this place but I'm sure it wasn't 'my name is Jon and I'm an expert builder, roofer , carpenter, goat herder and choffuer,choffeur?? I can't even spell that one so why would they think it? I suppose there's no call for salesmen in the bush.
I've built a bed, a roof, and trimmed the hoofs off a poor goat these last few weeks and drove round the abo's (that sounds a bit racist to me but they call them 'black fellas' which I don't really like!) to some more far, hard to reach places. Including another fishing trip to a place called gun point. That one was more successful with stingrays actually being caught but we were made to wade through a small esturary where we were told again, no crocs, but again, didn't believe a word they said. We didn't get eaten though, obviously, and enjoyed some bush tucker in the form of blue tail mussells. I say mussells but they were more like snails....and I say enjoy, they tasted like s***e.
The caravan is finished now and we have moved in. Looks great and is totally mozzie proof. Thisbe is off on a trip to the desert for a month and a bit so we have a long list of jobs to tackle in her absence. I hope to god weeding doesn't make up a huge proportion of it.
