woo.

July begins with me signing a new job contract with Paspaley Pearls. First thing sunday morning I will be flying on a Mallard water plane bound for the coast off the Kimberlies in West Oz for a month of straight work (No Weekends) on the pearl farms out there. It will be a welcome change from the labouring work I have been doing at the shipyards here in Darwin, although that work was actually pretty good. Good crew of blokes and lasses I'm going out with too, so my nuts are pumped. 12 hour hard-workin, He-Man days, but the fishing is amazing apparently, and there is a distinct possibilty of getting eaten by sharks or giant  crocodiles, or killed by box jellyfish. Can't wait! May be out of contact for a month, mabe not, will keep you posted. Oh by the way I am going to be mega rich after 2 months of this. Oprah rich, yo. Cant wait to buy a motorbike in asia and a plane ticket to Bali. And one to Canada. Look out world, here she comes.

Darwin Begins.

So pretty much all the goodbyes have been said, and here I am. I have a lot of awesome people in my life. You're all pretty rad.
I made it to Darwin. Dirtiest, mangiest person on the plane by far, with a head full of everything and a wallet full of nothing. Sydney was mind-blowing, and Newcastle was too short-lived. Manning Point never changes and Brisbane saved my life. All things considered my Goodbyes score 11/10. Love.
Darwin is pretty cool. So relaxed here and there are so many babes its ridiculous. I have never seen any of the birds here before, the pigeons are tiny. Beards are popular. Too many Europeans. I'm staying at the YHA for 30 bob a night, got myself ready to go out and find myself a job tomorrow. If not pearling I'll be going mining. See how we go. Pretty optimistic. Ill be here a month and a bit before I say hoo-roo to OZ. Sweating. It's already been a long, long journey, but it has only just begun.

Positive.
