Sydney!

So, in spite of the keyboard upgrade, the promised updates just never happened. Sorry about that!
Between then and now an awful lot has changed! I finished my time at Walhallow in mid August. I flew to Brisbane where I met up with my sister Lauren who joined me for a 2 week Brisbane-to-Sydney road trip. It was amazing.
At the end of August Lauren flew back to Florida just in time to start her senior year and I started my new job! I'm working for Macquarie Bank - the company that owns the cattle station I worked on. So now, in an delightfully cyclical chain of events I am still working with Walhallow (and the company's 13 other properties), but this time I look after car insurance, account details, employee records and the like - basically the other end of keeping a station running.
Soon, I will write real updates of all these things (right, like you haven't heard that before...). I will tell you about pig hunting in Brisbane, petting with sharks in Port Stephen, the Opera house, dodgeball, and, best of all, my new apartment! But at the moment, I have to go to work!
For those of you who are interest, my new mailing address is

As Gus learned the hard way, you do in fact have to write "Australia" because otherwise your letter might end up in China.
