After Brisbane i went down to a place called Maroochydore which is one hour north of Brisbane on the sunshine coast. I spent 2 weeks there doing work on a ginger, pineapple and strawberry farm but the work was too on-off and my money was getting lower and lower. The strawberry work was not great, it was planting and we had to work in amongst the sprinklers so you got soaked!!!!
I made quite a poor error of judgement when working on the pineapple farm one day, it was very hot and in the afternoon i decided, like most, to take my shirt off while working, as you can imagine my back got roasted for 3-4 hours and i ended up with severe sunburn for 4/5 days where it was difficult to move my back much or even put on a shirt. although after constant cold showers and applying 'after sun' it got better.
I had little money left and alot of people there, like me, where very low on money and i decided to go to Kuala Lumpur for 3 days before heading home. KL was fantastic, i do prefer southern asia and i did the batu caves, templer park and chinatown, etc........ i did get played once where i spent 7-8 pounds on some 'peace' beads but that happens sometimes, lol
I had a few problems with flights but eventually got back to England the other day and its nice to be home. A shame to cut it a little short but i had a great 5 months and saw/did some great things.
This blog was pretty good and if i travel again i will do something similar, anyway, thanks to everyone reading it and that is that.
Goodbye................................ :)

the napier test
ive been in napier almost a week and its a fairly quiet place, however it was a very good test and we came away with the win when at one stage we were 4-3.
the presentation was good with vaughan and the team coming up to all the english fans at the end to sing some of the songs with them (rule brittania, etc........) and collingwood gave his batting gloves away.
i get the coach to wellington tomorrow and then fly to sydney on saturday morning and from sydney - brisbane on saturday evening where i will be for 4-5 days before moving up the east coast and seeing what queensland has to offer.

into rotorua
well the test went well, a good win on the morning of day 5. on tuesday i got the 8hr coach from wellington to rotorua, the place is known for lots of geothermal activity in new zealand. it has been nicknamed 'sulpher city' because of the rotten egg smell which is not very nice when you're walking around the town. i went on a tour this morning to Wai-o-tapu - http://www.geyserland.co.nz/index.htm which had the boiling mud pools, geyser, craters, etc........ that lasted about 3-4 hours and was very good to see, one of the best places i have been to so far. anyway, its thursday night here so i'm about to go to bed, i've got the coach to napier tommorrow which takes around 3 hours (a little longer then i thought) and the test starts on saturday.
happy easter to everyone and good luck to emily with the parade, it should be a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

day 2 at the test
day 2 was fantastic for england, we could of got more then 342 but its a pretty decent total in all, ambrose got his 100 which was good but the bowling from anderson was fantastic, given the new ball he took 3 early wickets and 5 in total. (i have to admit i thought broad would do the damage and anderson would'nt be much of a factor.......although i was'nt the only one who thought that, was i paul????? lol)
if we can get 250-300 then i think it will be to much for them but theres still a long way to go so we'll see.
i had a chat to a kiwi fan in the afternoon who was pretty kool, he was interested in seeing england in the future.
i was standing with the barmy army through most of the day and its a fantastic atmosphere, they really get going in the last session (we even got a wave and smile from sidebottom when his song was sung, lol)
its a good ground as well, 70% english and loads of flags, you can go onto the ground and near the wicket at lunch, it has a good feel to it, like a county ground but a little nicer, alot of people but not packed and a nice backdrop with the rolling hills)
roll on day 3........................

wellington
ive been in new zealand for about a week and its a lovely place. wellington is more like a coastal town then a city (think whitby/york) with the harbour and rolling hills/mountains. ive been to Te Papa museum, wellington zoo, upper hutt village, etc.................
i went to day 1 of the 2nd test today, it was going well until the collapse but a fantastic unbroken stand between ambrose and collingwood has put us in a good position, hopefully ambrose will get his 100 in the morning, he was quite attacking and looks to be very promising. the barmy army was quite loud in the afternoon and i was close to them so that was pretty kool, in the morning i was sitting right in front of the players wives which i did'nt realise until they started chatting (there was pietersons, bells, sidebottom and a few others there) and i heard them talking about there evening plans and pietersons wife was saying he gives her a special signal when he comes out to bat (which he did). i also got handed a free barmy army programme from the leader (the bloke who always see's england, st. george vest, top hat, flag and long blond hair).
i also saw the nets yesterday which was interesting.
there was a small problem at the wellington hostel where i booked 2 weeks accom. in three blocks on the internet (6/6/2) but did'nt realise there was a 6 night max stay, the receptionist said i had 'worked the system' like it was some great devious plan but they said its ok for this time. i have found somewhere in napier to stay at last for a decent price.
i also sent a package home which should arrive sometime towards the end of next week.
the rest of the time ive just been on the internet - here's 3 good things to look up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXcIEcA0m_Q - remember this scene kev? classic!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5esB_hqusg - fantastic song!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHrkJCzf8C4 - lets get back to this next year!!!
talk 2 u all soon

barmera, renmark and the farm.......
i was in barmera for a few days, nice lake (bonney) and small town, not too much there, the manager was quite helpful in trying to find work and i moved to a town 1/2 hour away called renmark. i was there for 1 day when i was told that someone dropped out of his job and they needed someone for 2-3 weeks to work, the only problem was it was about 35 k's away so i would need to stay there as i did not have transport, i needed the money so i just took it. the next morning the manager drove me to the farm and we rolled up about 7am, it was in the middle of nowhere, right in the outback and surrounded by 1000's of acres of farm that grew armonds, citrus, oranges, etc....... - we drove to the top of a hill where i met the farm owner, had a chat for a few mins then he looks over at his tree's and shouts 'FLAMING GALLAH'S!!!' and pulls out a shotgun and starts firing into the tree's, the manager wished me luck, lol - he said that he might have a daughter staying here that i could meet, i told him i was'nt interested while her dad had that shotgun on him!! lol
anyway, i started work that day and did 16 days straight, around 10 a day and blew armonds, walk up and down the rows of armond tree's with a big blower that shots air out quickly and move then into the middle of the path for the machine to collect, it was pretty tedious but paid well and i collected just over $2000 at the end of it (with 300 more to come when i leave australia (in tax) - very basic accomm. in a big shed and the toilet/shower block was a short walk away, not convenient late at night!!!!! i saw a emu and kangaroo in the fields though which was good!!!
i got back to renmark on the saturday morning, made a few phone calls and headed to the hostel where the manager said i could stay until the coach arrives and he will give me a lift to the stop, i was sitting down to watch tv when 2 japenese girls came out and started chatting to me (there english was good, a little broken but much better then my japenese!!! lol - i asked them if they wanted to go out for a drink and we spent a few hours just drinking and talking which was really good, they said they had never had strongbow but really liked it (they asked me to write it down so they could order it in the future!! lol) we took a few pics, i shot a small vid on the camera and we exchanged e-mail ad's ( i just received an e-mail from them actually saying that we could maybe meet up in may somewhere which would be good) - it was really nice as they were 2 of the nicest ppl you could meet, always smiling and laughing and had a really good heart, when they knew i was travelling to sydney and got back to the hostel they said can i wait there for 10 mins before i leave to say goodbye as they wanted to do a quick shop, then they came back with a bag of food for the journey!!!! they also taught me some japenese
hello - Konnichiwa
thank-you - Arigato
good-bye - Sayonara
cute - Kawaii
Terumi and Nayumi from Osaka and Tokyo
the journey to sydney was 19 hours!!!! very long but at last i arrived, sydney central was full so i booked in too a place nearby for 1 night then to central for 1 night as they are pretty good and have laundry and internet
i saw india win the ODI at the SCG - the first time i saw Tendulkar he gets a century!!!! alot of indian fans and a very good atmosphere!!!!!!
just got into wellington last night, went out for a quick bite to eat then had a sleep until almost midday - hada walk around and a meal at mcdonalds (double cheeseburger, large fries and a large coke (in case you were wondering!!!) lol
wellington is a beautiful place, quite small but on a harbour and had big hills and mountains surrounding it, i will explore alot more in the next few days, i will probably be taking the lord of rings tour early next week
talk to you all soon

mildura and work......a bad combination
ive been here for a while but the work has been very on/off - i'll have enough money for the nz trip in march for the 2nd/3rd tests and then off to either WA or South Australia but i would of liked to earn some more. i'm leaving for barmera tomorrow which is 2 hours west of here in SA where there will hopefully be a little more work - i'm just looking forward to getting back to sydney on march 2nd and going to the ODI before leaving for NZ on tuesday 4th - 29th.
alot of the work has been putting the covers on the grapevines or fruit picking (which is really bad money, even less then i got at mitie!!! lol, j/k). i had a good job for one day where i earned $140 after tax doing carting (collecting all the boxes of grapes and stocking them) but that stopped. ive been told that alot of the work and harvest is unpredictable as there has been a drought for the last few years.
anyway, there's not been too much to do in this little outback town, just a small mall, a supermarket (cole's), an irish pub that charges $7 a pint (although ive had to be tight with money so ive only been there once) and lots of harvest fields. maybe barmera will be better (only 3 weeks before i hit fun again!!) lol
hows everyone at home?
i managed to watch the SB, good game and the giants pulled it off, NE finish 18-1 lol
also announed that the uk has an nfl game the next 3 years with san diego-new orleans in october which should be really good
i just saw that we got crushed in the OD - typical of england to be so negative and defensive (although its a rare quality to only score 130 and STILL almost bat the 50 overs out LOL) - they never should of took dimi out and cooks not really a one day player. i'm more interested in the tests but we should be able to win the one day series against an average team (unless we keep playing this poorly)
anyway, i'm heading off now
take care

into melbourne..........
hello hello hello
i got to mildura last tuesday morning but the work was'nt quite ready to get started and the temp. was 42 degrees which was too hot to work in anyway. me and 5 other ppl got to stay in this little guesthouse which was good as i got my own room and there was easy access to the kitchen to fry up stuff or whatever else. however, there was'nt too much in mildura which is a small town a long way from anywhere so i decided to comedown to melbourne for a week which is 9 hours away by coach.
i got to melbourne on friday 11th jan in the morning and spent almost 2 hours walking around the city with my suitcase trying to find somewhere, eventually i found a small backpackers place on elizabeth street. Melbourne is a pretty kool place to be in, there is alot going on in the city centre but around the centre there are lots of big parks or botanic gardens (one has cooks parents cottage they built, i took a photo of that), lots of churches and a massive square called 'federation square' which is like a meeting point and then you walk past that across a bridge by the yarra river that leads to the MCG, the rod laver centre is next to it as well which is where they were having the australian open, tennis, which is on at the moment.
i have done a tour of the MCG, explored the city and surrounds and bought some new trainers. ive booked the 'neighbours' tour for 5.30 tomorrow and this week i will be going to melbourne zoo, st. kilda beach and a cricket game on friday afternoon at the mcg between victoria and tasmania in the ford ranger cup before getting a coach from melbourne - mildura on friday evening at 9.45 which gets in around half 7 the following morning. i have been told that the work there has just started and it continuous so i hope to work 6 weeks, 6 days a week and save around $2000 which will lead me nicely into march where i return to sydney for the march 2nd one day final and then leave for wellington a day or two later to spend 3-5 weeks in NZ to watch the wellington and napier test matches in the north island.
after that i plan to go to WA and work 4-6 weeks then spend 4 weeks touring the area, a week in perth, broome, monkey mia, etc.......... but its a long way off so i'll see what happens.
thanks for the birthday cards and e-mails i received.
nicki - it was great getting that comment from you, they are always appreiciated and you can e-mail anytime as well - nfl202020@hotmail.com - do you and paul drink red or white? i'll try and bring a few local bottles home.
paul - i know your probably glad to see SD win so i won't say too much about it, lol except that i never thought i could cheer for NE to win this season but i sure will be this week!!!!
oh, i sent the post yesterday to my home address so there should be 2 parcels arriving sometime next week.

moving on
hi everyone, hope your all doing well.
i went down to sydney harbour on new years eve, i got there at 1.30 pm so it was quite a long day but the weather was good and the harbour was beautiful so i had a good time. they had a big firework display at 9pm and then the main one's at 12 which was fantastic (i got a little video of it on my camera).
the surfing was really good, i was impressed by bondi - i can ride a board all the way to the shore from quite far out lying down and i know the technique to stand up, its quite hard but i'm getting there.
there was a fire evacuation at the hostel the other day at 2am, all the alarms went off and we had to just evacuate ( i managed to get my trousers on but not my top, good job it was'nt cold!!!) Anyway, it did'nt come to much, the fire brigade arrived and i think it was just a small fire somewhere in the building, its a pretty big building so i'm not sure where it was.
jamie - glad to hear things are going well for you, the kestrels are top, arsenal are top, the jags are in the divisional rounds and your fantasy team won the trophy, your on a roll.......................
paul - thanks for the comment, they are always good to get, hogg looked good playing his shots but i don't think he's much of a spinner, take lee out and they are a little blunt, although why tait does'nt play is beyond me, BUT more importantly what happened to vince young?!!!! i was hoping the titans would win (i did'nt manage to see the game as it was earlier then i thought) but i saw the highlights and the D was really good but the O was a disaster!!! i was dissapointed as i despise SD but at least i know they are going into indy next week where they will be crushed!!!
lee - how you doing? the e-mails are great and i will catch you on the phone soon - what happended to basingstoke? i saw they lost away to lewes 4-0 or 4-1
kevin & mitie - how are you all doing? did you get my e-mail i sent around xmas?
i'm going to mildura in victoria in a few hours, its 17 hours on the greyhound and i get there tuesday morning my time. i have been looking for work and the only work is fruit picking but the pays decent and i can start straight away, i'm also ready to leave sydney now for a while. my plan is to work for 7-8 weeks then get back to sydney on march 1, watch the SCG final on march 2 then go to NZ for 4-5 weeks and see englands test match in wellington and napier at the middle/end of march, see the barmy army, lol
although plans seem to change alot so i won't say its a definite yet.
i have moved some of my money from HSBC to westpac as well.
oh, i had to sell 2 ODI tickets i had in feb, i had trouble selling them so in the end just settled for 50 bucks the pair which is a small loss but its better then nothing and it will only take about a days work to make up the difference, these things happen sometimes, once i can get working and some money i can move around the country more.
right, i'm off now - take care and talk to you soon - the comments are great as are the e-mails - nfl202020@hotmail .com
also a shout out to dad, sharon, leanne, richard, emily, sophie, nicki, nan, grandad, julie, david, katie, ashely and eveyone else.
there you go mum - the blog is updated, lol
take care all, byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
