Re: i'm back

Re: i'm back
SNAP!
Caroline and I have just taken over the Wander Inn Backpackers in Bunbury (south west WA). We are just managing it but have long term contracts which is good. Our first week was an eye opener with a pissed Welsh bloke screaming in his sleep at 2am on our first night, the mother of all storms on our second resulting in 6 power poles being blown down and us being without power for 19 hours and a third night where we were woken by a fight between the same Welsh bloke and a Dutch guy. Needless to say that they weren't staying with us the following night. I almost forgot I wasn't in the RAF anymore and didn't have a big police dog when I tried to pull these two 6 foot + blokes apart. The owner reckons we were very unlucky and that sort of thing rarely happens - here's to hoping. Since then we've had no problems or sleepless nights which is good. The main perks should start kicking in next week with a scenic flight, some kayaking with dolphins and maybe a wreck dive - all for FREE! If you need any help or advice from someone who has been in the industry for 5mins feel free to drop me a line. I'm sure you'll both have an absolute blast doing it - the best thing is you actually get to spend time with each other (our jobs in Perth meant we only had 2 hours a night together). Our website is www.bunburybackpackers.com.au The site needs a good revamping but the general idea of it is there. Anyway I've wittered on enough - GOOD LUCK and hope everything goes great for you both. Tony |

Well, I can't say we'll every stay with you, cos we have good friends in Bunbury, but we might drop in some time. And if anyone ever needs a place to stay in Bunbury I'll know where to send them ;) Good luck! and have fun with those activities!!! :) |
