yikes!!! oh darn.. $$!! need more!!!
We're still a bit broke from Singapore, and I suspect we'll be broke for a while yet! That's not a good start to any possible commonground plans
So yeah! We're back from camping. It was heaps of fun, but I got a bit sunburnt. This weekend we're going up to cedar creek, although after consulting a very detailed map belonging to a friend of ours, we are going to drive to a different area and follow a different creek down to the falls (coming in from the opposite side) Exciting!

Yeah last year we looked into it, it was going to cost upwards of $550 each.. for just a weekend. Flights were fairly high at the time and ry also had to come back on sunday day (and miss the big twirl on sun night) so made it made it a very expensive and short holiday. That's why we ended up putting that potential money away for the bigger trip - Singapore.
But yeah.. bit of a $drought now..
Oh well! things are great anyways!

mm, i can see the logic there
mm, tis a fair bit of a $drought here too. got a gig lined up for march 16, and one days work lined up for one day in late march, apart from that, nothing else in sight though, but, im working on it.
also, my puter has died again, much worse this time it seems. harddrive should be ok, but it might take a while for me to sort it out
good to hear things are good

*nods enthusiastically* Yes, I can't wait for the weekend! Although this will mean that I have been back in the uk for two whole weeks. TWO WHOLE WEEKS since I was in South Africa. Oh dear, time goes by so quickly...and yet not quickly enough.

Try having a weak currency like us. Then it's really expensive to travel.
Is it true that there's a lot of South Africans in Perth?
