POsted it before, but here it is again...
This where Mr B and I spent the first 3 months of our lives together. Living on a bus. It did have carpet, electricity and a wood-burning stove though, so not all bad!!!

This was my stove for cooking for 120 people every night. On my own. In 45 degree heat.

. I'll have to check to see what other pics I have, not too many I wouldnt think, most of them are almost 20 years old & havent weathered too well, or been lost in my many moves. But Im sure my mum had a few from out there, I'll see if I can find them in the huge pile that were hers.
Or what about really old pics of living in the country. Ive got heaps of them from when mum & dad were young, so 60-80 years ago, that I could bore you senseless with
.See what positive encouragement can do? :scared: LOL

I haven't reached 30 yet, but I'd like to be 22 again, the year I met Mr B and lived in Nundle.

what are you 2 waffling on about. My cricket team was frightfully English. None could ball straight, noone could catch, in fact noone could catch a cold.
And Bundy stop trying to get all the glory with your outback tales.
(Sniff). Nice mansion though. I like all your posh stories.

Bundy, all blokes like a bit of posh totty. I had you sussed within days.
;-)
I wrote a ''book'' when I returned from Straya - 80K words. Might even post extracts from the farming and outback chapters!!
Of course, its a page or two of A4, and several thousand pages of "FIGJAM and yadda yadda".

I know you wrote a book - I've read it, remember! This is how I know you have tales to tell. And you should post extracts because it's good. I wrote bits and pieces about my time out there but didn't get far with it and it's not up to much as it is!
FIGJAM is in constant use in our house because noone else ever knows what we're talking about...

Did you seriously like it? People seem to find it an easy read.

I did indeed like it. I read it at work when I had nothing to do but sit here in the office and look busy - it was great, looked like I was proof-reading some vast document!
I don't think it's rose-tinted at all, just a good account of the kinds of things travellers to Oz can do if they put in a bit of effort and get out of the big cities.
