Designs Sheet To Draw

Finally a new entry!

.... You have waited a long time and now the time has come, I write again.
I wanted to wait with this blog entry to Janna has her Valentine's gift that otherwise would have even a part of what I have written to her previously stood on the blog and I did not find any good. So I started first here and now.

on Monday after my last entry in the Australian National Day, the Australiaday (official holiday) was the weekend before is called Australiaday weekend. Said Australiadaywochenende had been previously published in the media already large and promoted. Every Australian should show the flag and offered the many special events, pubs and shops this weekend, take advantage.
Primrose, which brings me here every day the newspaper had drawn my attention to a page where all important events were listed. For example, the bot
Melbournepub on Sunday a FreeBBQ (grilled meat and salads for free), a flip-flop-exchange operations + + and competitions for children to good live music at.
in particular the prospect of a free lunch appealed to me so I went with a Australienhut on the head, one of Australia towel around his hips, Shaun as a companion and two old flip-flops (I had worn these type of shoes never in my life and therefore did not get the old flip-flops, luckily was able to give me the 91-year-old Edgar his rather old-looking flip-flops) in the luggage going to calibrate cell in the middle of Australians in the sea of flags so pompous been announced national holiday.

The buffet was the Preisleistungsverhaeltnis accordingly, the music really well, I had my ertauschte Australienflipflops and competitions for children-uh-containing times, there were no children there! Even the otherwise empty pub was packed:) and I was the only outfit in Australia. Minimally frustrated in the evening we went to Tracy to the beach, land development Handstaende and also had a lot of fun otherwise.

The next morning was then also have the Australiaday! And again, no flags, no Nationalhuemne, nothing! AAAAB I had done so smart in the paper and lo and behold: In the afternoon took place the great Australiadayfestivitaeten.
I was now more skeptical than the day before, was wrong (the Maeddels knew the way to precise) but still determined to fairground.

tug-face painting, a few teachers, with almost the supernatural precision and experience throughout the day, the same Song played and that's it, no sausage, no fireworks (I think I have missed). My relationship to
Australiaday was so damaged that I forgot to have to make a photo of me in my costume.

gave me comfort on the way back, only one of three half-hourly Bowen Mangobaeume (very good mangoes), which I found in Bundy and for me, partly because I have asked the owners in part because they are publicly and freely accessible. Mangos for free!
On the way back I met Tracy and took me to Siedlersbruecke, with the one from when the right time in the water aufkommmt, passing cars can bomb. Such a thing to me is, despite ausgezeichneterArschbombenkuenste, of course far. : Could P

In the following days I'm here from fishing boat went to fishing boat and asked for work, because the job situation in Bundy is currently really miserable, but won no ACHIEVEMENTS . Instead, I worked with Shaun in Primrose in the garden, dragged around boulders and arranged them, got out of tree stumps, weeds and weed with Shaun built a new fence made of old boards. With Tracy, I ran the household, went for a walk with the dog, was preparing my Valentine's package and played Lego with the children.

day I visited with Matthew's Primary School to get an insight into the Australian school system. Morning, the national anthem was sung, the grades 1,2 & 3 were taught in a room once a week were diligent Students honored, and I got a birthday boy of the month January, congratulations, and was photographed.

Matthews very friendly teacher ...

.. and auxiliary teacher Timm

It helped me a lot of fun to teach the children something, especially those children who were unable to cope not with the teacher asked soon-stop for me:).
Wonderful, what more could you want!

I had always something to do and yet I had to get to the real purpose of my trip besinnnen: Travelling!
So I contacted the Nelson family in Rockhampton, me on my way to Rainbow Beach Bundy had taken and to be invited. Of Rockhampton from then I wanted to Uluru and then to Perth ...

So I set out last Monday after I had once gone with Primrose and Edgar at Szissler food, according to the way Rockhampton.
Edgar sat down by mistake at the wrong end from the city, provided that my sign saying "Rockhampton" in most drivers for amusement.
A song in my head and a smile on his face I was happy about the ueberdurchschittliche gaiety of drivers on that rainy Monday morning.
An already delayed by a teacher explained to me and finally brought down at the other end of town, where I was after a few minutes on the roadside a real estate agent junior recorded. This brought me to the highway in Gin Gin. Near the point where I had We slept a few months ago with Arttu in the tent behind the gas station, I waited for the next ride.
A horse trainer, who studied at the wheel of either horse magazines and websites have mercy on his mobile phone, showed and we stowed my luggage in the trailer together in a separate area of the horses.
It was difficult to keep this quite interesting, but rather silent contemporaries in good spirits and as soon saw only the defective super shift knob (with which you can access despite fuenftgaengigem shift gears on the 6-10) for entertainment. The horse trainer wanted do not have it true that the 10th passage was not available (which naturally cost of fuel) and Improvement in helpless and angry outbreaks, with his fist on the little button. This was largely unimpressed with these regular "repair attempts" the good-hearted horse trainer kahm but each time against the lever for the windshield wipers so that they reflect the other road users also receive waved during the rain-free minutes of our trip cheerful.

arrived in Rockhampton, I moved my pieces of luggage from the shit. The partition between the horses and my luggage did not quite reach the floor. The roller coaster ride did the rest and so I saw after a short forced adoption, the nearby be gas station to pay a visit and grab some toilet paper. purified Provisionally, I waddled with my 3420 things towards Wisemanstreet 38, uphill in a wealthy residential area. A taxi driver saw me suffer, I got a free ride to the house that his Navi beautiful as Wisemanstreet anzeigte.Sehr 38. The prospect perceive as sensational and Ann-Maree, my host mother there, even when shopping, I made myself comfortable with a book on the terrace.

Wisemanstreet 38 - I thought!

little later, I was involuntarily overheard a dispute in the neighborhood, but thought nothing of it to me a completely dissolved Aboriginefrau therefore, asked the police to . Call She could barely talk, her body was shaking - I did as I gehiessen.
First, I was, and then I sat next to her, offered her cookies (Primrose) and water (from the tap in the house, calmed her down and let me tell what had happened:
your husband are habeie terrorized eight years, beaten, its so threatened that they killed in their sleep with a metal rod or to kill during the day, apologized on other days but for that and her birthday present even a car.
In my said first minutes in Rockhampton, he threw stones at her, that barrel was Aborigiefrau over and wanted to finally draw a line.
The police arrived, I did not have to answer too many questions The man was detained to ensure the weapons and they told me to stay with the troubled woman and reassure them until another police car came, they would bring in a woman shelter. (They wanted to spend the night out of fear not alone in the house)
So when I sat there with her on de sidewalk, drove Ann-Maree over by car and called me seconds later, where I was then.
"In the Garden!"
"No, I'm in the garden and because you're not!"
"But, on the curb, on your doorstep"
"You're sitting there not by chance with a woman?"
"But"
"Timm, this is not our house! (But that was tricky, the house from I was sitting, was number 38 and was on the Wisemanstreet, but belonged to another street, Wisemanstreet 38 was only 20 m away) Aehhm and please come home, we do not talk to these people! I do not know how you call it, but we do not have anything to do with blacks'

Even against the background that the friend has lost her daughter by thrashing Aboriginal his eyesight, I think this generalized setting but for - repulsive? !

The house is the most beautiful in which I have ever lived, all were nice and accommodating, the food was q ualitativ first class, you showed me some sights in and around Rockhampton and yet remained a bitter aftertaste.

would not stay too long and the Nelsons wanted me to Friday afternoon "out of the way this one!"
I learned in the tourist information center, that all roads were flooded to the north and west, my way to the Outback was so inaccessible, so I decided this weekend to drive back to Bundaberg and then with Tim in coming to the Gold Coast. From there I will, as soon as my application for a grant is completed, about Brisbane fly to Uluru.
to the extent of my plans, which go back to what is happening ....
Nevertheless, I am not very wohlfuehlte in Rockhampton, there are two events worth mentioning: First, my

buying shoes. Jack my leather shoes were in sub-optimal State and no longer fit to work, I was glad so much, as I discovered in a business set down leather boots, so pretty much everyone wears Australians to work.
I have not had enough money at it and asked the saleswoman if she could put the boots back up the following day. The nice lady said apologetically that it was unfortunately not possible goods for longer than zumFeierabend to hold back, she had just received instructions from headquarters.
I put on a bedroeppelte face and she added that they even provided the shoes could be deposited in a poorly einsehbahrem site.
I grinned: "Yeah, probably has some funny customer
Maybe they hiding there! ! I'm even this customer "
shop assistant." I just close my times for 5 minutes, the eyes "
... and hey presto I had hidden the shoes came back after 4 hours and bought it

day I visited. botanical garden, to me, the tropical garden and the Koalafuetterung to look at the free zoo, which I had previously missed.
the end I got neither the one nor the other to face, because I discovered a part of the botanical gardens, the me much more interested.. The tropical fruit garden
where I discovered quickly that I knew almost none of the fruits I wanted to try it, however, and so I wandered through the orchard and took a photo of each fruit, went with my camera to the professor and let me explain what is edible and what is not. Back in the orchard I was using my photo list of the edible fruits and including 10 Sternfruechte took home with them. I had to run this time, because the professor of tropical horticultural not let it take to drive me.

edible, but very sticky

nutty, I brought this fruit, but not yet tried

berry-like, but not really tasty

Sharonfruechte grow-on shrubby trees

smelled quite delicious, but was then somewhat sour

Sternfruechte grown-up trees, the remember due to the hanging branches of weeping willows, I've even briefly diverted dozens of:)

I made a lot more photos of fruits, my blog entry now, I think, but long enough.

Yesterday morning I hitchhiked now back to Bundaberg and by chance I took Shaun's former kickboxing instructor with you GinGin, where I, after I had waited 45 friendliest in Australia's settlement in 2005 in the rain on a ride, was noted by a police officer that I committing a crime. Hitchhiking is not erlaubtIch I was clueless, Tracy called and asked if she could pick me up and then went to Shaun's mother in her bakery. To Tracy, who is currently ill, was finally here, I helped in the bakery when wearing Mehlsaecken, decorating Valentine cakes, but especially in the leftovers. I was rewarded with a couple of pomegranates, which I was allowed in the garden Picking.
