Craig & Sam Down Under

Hello all,
First and foremost this will be the last blog that we write if no comments are left within 24 hours of this post, this is not a threat it is a promise. C’mon people we have written two blogs and NO COMMENTS! Do you not want us to come home, do you not care to keep in touch. Now with that out of the way……. we left the red centre to go to Katherine. The farm that we worked on in Dimbulah gave us the phone number for their sister farm in Katherine, however when we got there we rang Murray the farm manager and he told us there was NO WORK, DOH! So we went to Grunt labour who were very enthusiastic, they had work for us to start the next day……. picking lemons! We told them no and explained about Sam and the Mango episode and explained we didnt want to take the risk again. They were very unsympathetic so we decided to look for work in Darwin instead. They had a job for us to start on tuesday. We dont really have much info on the job we know its working in a tree nursery, we know we are working for a guy called Greg, we know its in the Douglas Daly region and we know its all food and accomodation paid for, so we are convinced. We are meeting Greg at four this afternoon (Monday) and he is leading us to the place where we will be working.

In the meantime we went to nearby Litchfield National Park, which was beautiful. There are plenty of waterfalls and bush walks to go on, which we did all morning and then in the afternoon we bathed in a beautiful natural spa. Buley Rockhole, it was B E A utiful. We just lazed around in the sun and then sauntered on over to the waterfall and lazed under that. It was fabulous crystal clear, cool drinkable water. Paradise. I even managed to get use out of my mask and snorkel. I lost my ring under the water and went snorkelling in three foot deep water to find it. People thought i was either (a) mad or (b) a perv. We took loads of pictures around the national park, and then spent the next day by the pool at a lovely caravan park.

Not really anything else to put so will wrap this one up. Congrats to Donna who finally dropped, hope you and bubs (sams word not mine, we dont know the name yet) are safe and well. Everyone else get leaving comments you lazy gits.

Love to all

CRAIG and SAM!
