that awkward moment when you haven't done a blog in a few mths.

So my last blog i was leaving for Broome to go meet mum and dada. I need to get back on top of these blogs as dallas bet me that i would only ever do 3 and now i am upto 3...... if i ever finish this one!!!

Before i left Balgo we had a blue light disco on friday night which was a lot of fun for the kids. The boys here are the best dancers i have seen and the girls well they need to learn some new dance moves apart from byonce bootiluious shaking!! 




On Friday we also started FUN friday in school. this is Aminda Brain child as a reward systems for attendence for school. The first week we decided to do nail painting and hand washing. This was very exciting for the girls as they love having there nails painted and doing make up.



the girls enjoying some pancakes!

Saturday I headed for Kununarra, this was my first time driving down the Tanami on my own, but i had alex (adrians friend come with me). Everything was going well untill we got just past Billiluna (another community) about 100km out of Balgo, we saw Judy and Vin who work at the parish broken down on the side of the road. With still 170km to go till we got to Halls Creek we thought that we better pull over and see if we could help.  On the Tanami you can't leave a car on the side of the road within hours it will be stripped and set on fire so we decided that we would tow them to Halls Creek. This was a very interesting and long process going 60km instead of 100km an hour made it a much longer trip. However Judy and i got to spend some quaility time together on the road!. Everything was going smoothly until the rope broke and then Vins ute didnt have breaks so him and alex went on a joy ride down the Tanami untill they could stop using the hand break. We decided then to pull out the sat phone and call a tow truck in, although Vin was still convinced that we could keep towing i was over it and so was Judy and Alex. . . So we left them there Alex thought we should had stayed and waited for the tow truck but i thought we would just call them later as i was too hot to wait around in the sun and was anxious to get to the pub!!. 
We arrived in Kununarra at 6.00pm after leaving Balgo at 9am!! I was straight to the bottle shop with 2 bottles of wine!! 

The next day I headed to Broome with Brian and Matt (the boss), we flew there which was great as i had a killer hang over from the 2 bottles of wine that i consumed the night before.  I had only been to broome quickly in Jan when i was coming to Balgo for the first time so i was really excited to see what it had to offer.  Flying into Broome was amazing we had the best view of the cost with the white sand and the blue sea.    




Broome was wicked I would really love to live there some day!! it has the best weather about 31 degrees when i was there paradise.

I met mum and dad at the airport and after a quick teary from mum, we were off to the cable beach club for more wine. Mum and dad got upgraded to the presidential sweat at the beach club which is bigger then my house in Balgo. it was amazing had a dinning room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms a massive verander that looked over cable beach.

We left to go to El Questro,   El Questro is the most amazing place... it is a privatly owned wilderness park located in the east Kimberly, we spent 5 days there exploring the different walks and four wheel drive tracks and of corse bird watching.



My Favourite part was the Emma waterfall but the water was way to cold to swim in.

I am now back in Balgo and will be untill maybe August... but not sure of when i will be back in bendigo.

On other exciting news.... i have made 2 new friends sophie and Jared.... tonight is Jareds Birthday so aminda and I are making him a dinner he will never forget!!!

WE have also all become super crazy about the card game 500, we played it all weekend!!

Dallas mum donna and sister toyah have also been up here enjoying Balgo. Toyah has been attending Luurnpa catholic school and donna helping out in Minda class. They are both having a great time we will miss them when they leave. Me and Toyah have been playing snap like it is going out of Fashion!!
