Leaving for New Zealand on the 17th

Hello all you lovely people,

It is nice and warm here wish I could send it on to you all. I'm leaving the place of work where I am now on the 13th heading back to Melbourn and going to New Zealand not because I wantto because I have to leave the country every three months even though I have a year visa. I don't have a work visa that is why. I got a pretty cheap flight going to Auckland. I have many friends there so will plan on seeing them all. I have never been to the bay of Islands so plan on heading there asto.k here has been great. I'd still be here if it wasn't for that law they have here in Oz. I ride alot during the afternoons when I'm not at the beach. I only work 6 hours a day make breakfast like I'm really good at it. Ya. I can cook egss now better than I ever did before. I make lunch as well. There are 35 people staying here so that means when on leaves I have to make the bed they left. It is an upgrade hostel that offers alot of adventure tours. It is mostly a diveing center which I dived last week with another guy who also stays here. They have sea horses that are incrediable they hang out in the weeds below the pier in Portsea two towns away from here. I also have seen the sea dragons only here at this place in the world. They are awsome as well. Have met so many people coming through this place there isn't hardely a place now I don't know some one. I start my next job in a place called briarwood in Canberra which is between Melbourn and Sydney when I comer backfrom New Zealand. It is a cattle property consisting of 2000 acres. I shall do alot of riding chedking fences ext. It is also a bed and breakfast place the people soundreal nice and looking forward to being back in the country again on a farm. After there I will go to my friends farm in Kemps Creek and also visit Jason and his wife in Sydney myCanadian conection. From there I'm going to Broome which is a long way from everything and back down to Darwin again before I leave for Maylasia again. For those who are afraid of bugs this is not the place to be. I hang clothes on the line everymorning and make sure I don't putmy hands too close to the post as a nice nasty spider lives in his funnel web there. This am I was hanging out clothes when a bug I don't know what kind crawled in my shorts and started biting me cropped down to my sandles and started biting there as well. I have seen snakes, jelly fish everyting and anything that could kill you but doesn't. Alot of possums live here as well. They keep you up at night running over the roofs and fighting. I go to the pub for entertainment in Sorrento with the group I work with by Taxie listen to good music meet people and have a great time. Life is good and hope that all \your lives are as well. I'll write again when I get to melbourn I am invited to stay the 5 days with a family that is here now at the hostel nice EY? Enjoy the storms and for those the golf.
