I'm home again

So after a hectic three weeks, I'm back at home...for now!

My last trip took me upto Mackay then about 2.5 hours drive west of Mackay to a coal mine site. I didn't manage to get many pictures of the coal mine, but you can imagine what it looked like...black?!

We lived in the "village" with the miners. It's basically just accomodation for the miners, but apparently it's the best mining accomodation in Australia. And for the first day that I was there, I didn't see one girl! But slowly, during the course of the week I'd see ladies around.
Here are some photos of where we lived for a week:





We were stranded an extra day due to the storms and almost had to stay in the miners' village for a whole weekend. The rains eased a bit however on Friday afternoon and that's when we made our escape.

I dropped into the Gold Coast and spent some time with Sally, Siamak and Yasmin. I'll have to find the dvd's we watched and upload them. Some absolute classics - dvd's of our weekend's away when all the gang used to live in Melbourne. And some even funnier ones that will have to remain a secret until you see them for yourselves!!

Anyway, back to Melbourne and back to work straight away.

We had in influx from Perth come in - Ms Ruhi, Mr Baz and Elmo have been in town for a few days. Lovely to see the kids and can't wait til they come back.



Some fun news is that Bita is back in town. I went to get her from the airport, we had some dinner and did lots of catching up, then went over to Caroline's for more catching up.

And so that's it...this weekend has a lot lined up, so hopefully the camera will come out and the stories will get posted...
