Meanwhile last week Mark went on his travels again with work. This time he spent the night in Sydney. His meeting was held in the grounds of the Australian cricket ground and his hotel room had a view of Sydney harbour. Well you can image with his meeting in the cricket ground he was like a child on Christmas evening. He got to walk through their changing room and on their cricket pitch. Getting back to the really reason he went to Sydney, I think from the feedback and the amount of work he has come back with the meeting went well and Mark has by now nearly met every soil scientist there is in Australia. His next work trip is to Perth in the middle of October.
This week’s weather has been unbelievable. You would have thought we were back in the United Kingdom with the amount of rain we have experienced and yet again it is raining whilst I’m writing this. Though we can’t moan as we got some great weather over the weekend and the sun cream has come out again. We have finally found some great places to walk and this weekend we have enjoyed two of them.
On Saturday we attempted to walk around an old ore mine, through directions were poor and our observation skills were terrible so we got very lost. Though we retreated our steps and we were back by the car just before the sunset. On this walk we met our first wild kookaburra and he sang for us. On the Sunday we went for a walk in Belair National Park, we walked past water falls, which were running for the first time in years. On the way Mark disturbed an emu.
We are loving our new communication method and have been really enjoyed catching up with people. My parents surprised me with a call on Skype when Mark was away and seeing them was fantastic. Marks parents joined us on Skype on Saturday evening and it was lovely to catch up. All I can see is if you are not on Skype yet, WHY NOT ITS FANTASTIC.
