an exciting few days!

Its been a really random few days, loads has happened, and its been relatively positive.

We spent a night in a school in a place called Kambalda, which was slightly weird, but awesome, but a bit weird cooking and then waking up in the home economics class! The team enjoyed the use of the sports hall and Bev has perked up since getting in a game of hockey too!

The following morning we did three different school assemblies, which was really cool but slightly weird to be back in school again! Later we were offered a place to stay in the miners camp. We were given food and beds, and did a collection in their bar, all the guys were all really nice, and we even went down the mine the following morningwhich was a fantastic and once in a lifetime experience!

Later that day we stopped for a break and the boys were playin with some dangerous insects called Spider Ants, one of which bit holly but she was real brave!

This morning one of our vans wouldnt start, and we'd spent a night in the bush, and it was raining, which was a bit of a nightmare, but one of the miners we met drove out and helped us out as he was a mechanic - paul - thank you!

Tonight we are in Norseman which is the last town before the nullabor, and we've managed to get two free nights accomodation in a best western motel, which means we'll be well rested and sleeping in comfort before a month in vans and desert - thank you to the best western!

Right, got to dash - we got three vehicles to get ready and a hell of a lot of food shopping to do!
