hey everyone.

  well this will be a quick one but just letting everyone know that were still alive.   well last weekend we went up to a place called oreilleys.   its a family owned park and you can walk along in the rainforest and check out vines growing sideways and weird looking plants that don't need water or soil to grow in, they just grow with air off another plant, crazy stuff.   from one side of the valley there was a balcony where you could see across it and check out a wicked waterfall coming out the side, and when you walked around the other side of the waterfall you could see out for thousands of miles over heaps and heaps of mountain ranges, yes mountain ranges, its good to see some big hills around here, it was utterly amazing.   courtesy of our boss the whole trip was, she bought us lunch and a couple of beers as well as a ride up there.   sometimes you put up with some shit but in the end its worth it.   these last couple days we have been trying to keep ourselves busy, we got a new mate up here names Aaron.  he came up from Jolong, VIC and is totally stoked to cruise around with us and just live a travel life.  we've been surfing more and that's goood, we want to get good at this crazy water sport anyways.   Travis quit his job and is just chilling out enjoying unemployment, I got about a week left before I have to quit because of my visa.   I cant wait to try something new and keep on going.    I hear that the snow this year sucked pretty much so I'm glad I took this year off, I'm looking forward to some snow this aussie winter and whistler when I come back in oct, but in the mean time I'm going to enjoy what I got here and I'm going to tell you all about it don't worry, talk to you soon and miss all of you....

cheers
