murraes post

Hi folks its Murrae,

this story starts with mum waking me up at 05:00 Monday and dad driving us to the east perth station. i was on the train for 6 hours listening to music and watching movies, kind of boring but ok. when we arrived at kalgoorlie it was boiling. at camp i had to make up my bed and then i played games.the two boys you see are james and harry my friends. for supper i had beef which was really hard to chew. i had to do a chore as a wash wiper. on tuesday i had breakfast and walked down hannan street, now patty hannan was the first australian to ever record finding gold. then we (meaning my school and i) went to kal museum. the pic of the huge rig thing was moved to the museum for show and i was up there. in the museum i saw all kinds of things like a old bank. for lunch we went to hannan park and i talked to cockatoo it can say scratch scratch and hello .after lunch we saw kcgm its the mining company and the super pit. We came back to camp, had Aboriginal studies and then had supper we had macaroni, then went wall climbing, i hate it. bed time. wednesday we had breaky and we played miner gambling as you can see we got fake money i lost it all. then we walked up mt charlotte and saw the super pit close up. we saw the goatcher curtain(painting) and down a mine shaft from a hotel. you see the miners stole gold using these tunnels on weekends. we had lunch at the mining hall of fame and guess what i got? gold! I had supper and quiz night. thursday,breakfast,prospecting got more gold,bbq.we had tour of coolgardie near kal. when we got back to camp we had supper and went swimming, had our skits(small play)then, lights out. friday had breakfast at 5.30 am and got the train back here. dad took me to pick up mum from work. i hope you enjoy my report for the blog. see ya.

the red bull air race

hey folks, not been up to much but on sunday we went to see the red bull air race. it would have been great except we thought it would be a good idea to go to kings park to see it!!! yes us and 150,000 other people!!! we had a good view of the river and of the city but the planes were dust specks in the distance. we did think of moving down to the south perth shore but we could see the freeway from the park and it was nose to tail all the way down!! so we did what we should have done in the first place....... went home and watched it on the telly!!!!!!! well i did!! michael and stevi promptly fell asleep!!! murrae went to camp yesterday, off to kalgoorlie prospecting for gold!! it was an early start, up at 5 to get him to the station for 6.30. now had we known that it would take us only 10 minutes to get there we would have gotten up a little later!!! we arrived at the station at 5.55 and the train didnt actually leave til 7.15!! he was all smiles til it was time to leave us!! there were tears in his eyes as he gave us a last hug, once on the train he was ok as long as he didnt look out the window at us!!!! what can i say i have a real mummys boy there!!! will up date and post some of his pics when he comes home on friday!!!!

birthdays and new pets!!

this week i havent done much, we have been trying to recover our energy from the busy weekend away we had. i did however go out on friday night with girls from work and ended up getting bitten to buggery!!! and no surprise but i am allergic to mossie bites, i have 10 in total. 3 on the soles of my feet and couldnt walk yesterday!!! i have one on my upper arm thats the size of a tennis ball!! its not good. they are itchy and sore!! i can walk today so thats a weight off my mind, i was shitting myself that i wouldnt be able to work on monday!!! today they are more itchy than sore so

its a start to recovery!!! the pics are of my birthday pressies sent from home and my bag from nat and joe and my pink i-pod from michael and the kids! i waited for ages for my parcel from home and was disappointed when day after day it wasnt here!!! i even got excited when we got a ticket from the post office telling us to pick up a parcel. alas no it wasnt for me. murrae won a competition and it was his parcel of prizes!!! i have never been so gutted!!!!! it did arrive in time for my weekend away however and the cocket hat t shirt and my card from morgan made my day!!!!! the other pic is of a new pet we found on the back wall this morning!!! its so much better than finding the crappy horrible creepy crawlies of aberdeen!!!!
