Ahh, its my last week here in Walgett and I will miss this place! The people here are very friendly and I have made some great friends here. But, I will be back here in a few months for the harvest so that makes me pretty happy. 

I did something this weekend that I had never done before, and before your imagination goes wild, I went to the horse races. It was a good time, mostly its just an excuse for everyone to get dressed up and get together. Some of the women did the whole fancy racewear thing with the big hats and such, there were a few hats that made me do a double take and try not to laugh to loudly! But it was a good way to see everyone before I head off to Brissy.

We got another backpacker here yesterday, Mike from England. Haven’t chatted a lot but he seems like a nice guy. He did the same program I did but he came off a lot worse, fell off a horse four times and now has a bruise on his hip that looks a lot like mine did in February after my hockey injury. Good luck to him sitting in the tractor for twelve hours straight! We are going to have to go hard this week to finish the sowing, still have 700 plus hectares to go and its going pretty slowly right now. 

But regardless of how far we get, I have a bus to catch Saturday morning so if its not done, Oh well! 

I really don’t have a plan after going to Alice Springs, but im sure something will present itself. There are a lot of ways to amuse oneself in this country, its just hard to find out which ones you want to do. But anyway, take care everyone and Happy Fathers Day dad!
