Roper Bar ! It really is in the middle of nowhere (I am actually in Darwin now) Anyway so I went there with the agency for a week to do some cleaning?!
It took about 6hrs to get there and I was begining to wonder where we were going, went down some really dodgy roads. They are two way but one lane wide and you have to just get out the way if a road train comes ! We saw wild bulls, huge eagles eating on the road,kangaroos, horses and loads of road kill. We even hit a cockatoo! I am told this is a regular thing.
So the Roper bar store is one strange place its a motel, fuel station, shop and caravan park. It was nice to get my own little flat despite no hot water.I did get a tv with 1 channel!!
My main job was to clean the boses house but I did everything imaginable including making sandwiches, sweeping up cockroaches, cleaning toilets, bagging up sweets etc etc. It was a long week but I earnt some good cash ans was told I did an excellent job.
I even got to go out on the little speed boat fishing for these prawn things. Saw and fed a sea eagle on the river that was really cool!
I went on the delivery truck to the Aboriginal town . That was quite an experience?!
Also witness to some toad whacking! (I did not take part)
So back in Darwin again. I worked at the Footie game last night. I got free beers and a T-shirt! It was really fun just on the bar selling cans of beer about 100 a second! Was working with an Italian called Pablo and a fat aussie called Joe. It was really easy and good money.
No more work for now I am knackered but I had loads of fun too?
