Hello all Have been rubbish recently by not updating the site, but i had a week off last week, so had the chance to have some adventures, and now have some more interesting things to show you all. As most of you will know, i have been working and saving money, so there has not been much opportunity to do anything exciting, but there is just one more month of work now and i will be back on the road and will be able to show you a lot more of australia. Last week i went to my first Aussie rules rugby match, its a strabge game, and not one i could really get into, there are some bizaare rules, and though it was a good experience, i dont think that i will watch another one again. Spent a day in the blue mountains, which was beautiful. Unfortunately the weather was not great, but at least it did not rain. I had a walk around the mountians; i walked down the 'giant staircase', and when they said giant, they certainly werent joking (mike if you remember the amount of steps to walk to the top of the vatican, then there was at least twice as many, if not a lot more), then i did a nice long walk around the mountains, and through the reserve, and by the time i was finished, i was about dead. Apart from that i relaxed a lot during my week off, and otherwise just explored some of the local nature reserves for some overdue excersise. Take care guys lots of love Scott
