hello all,

You can uncross everything you had crossed for the campervan job we had our third rejection. But I have now applied for a job as a counsellor in the Northern Wheatbelt so we will see if anything comes of that.

Not too many troubles with the van and we are now old hands at camping in National parks and regular sites. We did think there would be a bit more freedom on where we could park up but what we found were lots of restrictions. However, the van goes off road pretty good, which is useful when you run out of tarmac!!!:D

So we are hanging around WA a while longer to see if anything comes of this new job opportunity. The weather on the South Coast was freezing, cold wet and windy like winter. We now know why all the Perth people were saying that it was cold down there, that's because it is. Seen some really lovely little country towns which are so laid back and some of them unspoilt.

Had an encounter with a large spider at the loo last night, but apart from seeing a snake in the distance this is all the wildlife we have seen. Still feeding the mozzies, you think they would have had enough by now.

Chris split his toe open climbing into the van one night and instead of seeking medical attention he has superglued it together, as he says this is what superglue was invented for:D

Lokking very much like trailer trash, despite washing regularly and even plugging the iron in from time to time.

We will keep in touch with you all when we next get chance.

Donna & Chris
