cold yet sunny??

Hello all yes i have pictures ... YAY!!!
This is a pic of the closest actual beach that people can go to near town however to get down there you need to either walk or have a 4x4 ... it's really pretty though.
My bro and i went for a drive the day after i got my car just to get a few pics ... it's cool. I love it here cuz it's so peaceful and serene. It's not polluted with people like u get at the Gold Coast. Although it is freezing ... well it is at the moment anyways.


Yesterday we decided to go out to i think it's cape bridgewater. They have a really beautiful swimming beach as u can see in the pic and they have a seal colony further round the beach but u can't get to it cuz it's protected but they have a platform where u can see the seals but it's a really long walk so we didn't go there ... we went to the petrified forest instead ... it sounds funny but it's not really that exciting.

It was really windy yesterday so i got some really good photos from off the cliff ... it was really cold too so i was rugged up nice and warm while we were walking around.


so this is the petrified forest ... and below is the sign they have to describe wat they are and how they are formed ... i'd have read it and described it to u myself but that would have required too much effort and i'm still being lazy cuz i don't have a job yet =)







the day was goin pretty well with all the beautiful ocean views and realising how close we were to being able to see seals ... even though i saw one the other day in town when i picked mum and dad up one night when they went for a walk and it started to rain and it was only about 3 or so metres away from me =) it was so cool ... we decided it was time to head home but we were goin to drive the long way and go past the smelter and check out the ganet colonies that they have (yes there is actually alot to see in my small town).


just so u know i had to go put my slippers on cuz i'm getting really cold.

this is only a part of the ganet colonies ... there is an island that i didn't take a pic of that is totally covered in these huge birds. It's so cool.


Well we stayed and had a look at the birds for a little while then we decided to leave ... and dad has a 4x4 ... and there was a big puddle ... i don't think i really need to say anymore ... all those who know my dad would know exactly what happened next ...

Yup ... u guessed right ... it was Australia day and dad decided to get us bogged in a puddle ... and he had to call someone from work who had another 4x4 to come and get us out ... BRAVO DAD!
Actually it turned out to be really fun ... u can see how dirty my bro got ... we both got out to see if we could push it out but that didn't work then we tried getting wood and putting that under the wheels but that didn't work either then it started to rain so we got into the tray to stay dry and not to dirty the inside of the car ... yeah ... it was interesting to say the least.
today we drove an hour to the next bigger town just so we could have MACCAS cuz we don't have one here ... we have KFC but i don't like their burgers cuz the mayo is really gross. Next weekend we're heading over the border to Mt Gambier in SA ... yay more maccas =)
Well it's time for me to sign out and get ready for dinner ... and possibly unpack some more boxes.
Take care all and i'll let you know when i get a job and when i can come back and visit you all =)
Lots of Love ... Kita xoxo

GONE!!

Well i'm finally here ... in Portland Victoria and it's weird here. It's only a small country town with little to do ... there is no Maccas and KFC down here isn't all that nice so expect me to be really thin when i see you all next. We have a really nice big house here. The kitchen is all pretty much new and there is a big bbq outside on the back deck undercover with a bench on both sides and a sink. We're in water retrictions here too so i can't go back to my half hour showers but i'll live. Mum has been working all week but i still don't have a job mainly cuz i have only been here for 3 days so i haven't started looking.

My car arrived today so i got to go around town a bit ... not that there is much to go around ... there are 2 traffic lights here ... just to give u an idea on how small it is.

Well i have to go make my room presentable cuz our house is on the market and we have people walking through to check it out in about 3 hours. I know we've only been here a few days and we'll be here all year but they still want to sell it ... all those who look at buying it will be aware of the contract we have untill the end of the year so it's all good.

I'll look at posting up some pictures when i get time to go take some which shouldn't be too long.

Cya's

XOXO Kita
