Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes over emails and posts on this site. It was definatly a bit weird having my birthday across the ocean but i had a great time. I have officially booked a plane ticket to the whitsundays (way up the coast) for this tues and am planning a great trip in the sun! I am thinking of a sailing adventure, should be good. I have about 6 weeks left in Aussie land...so sad..but am having an amazing time!

thats it for now!

goodbye to youthworks

so i officially have finished working at youthworks. i am actually really sad about that. it was such a great time and i definatly miss it already. at this point i havent really organized myself enough to know what i am doing for the next month and a bit. I have an idea of what i want to do but nothing is actually booked. which is ok! i am totally exhausted post camp and need a bit of time to just relax and sleep. so i am half time living at jills and the other half at ash's. so enough my friends i will have an update for you with a plan for my life! easter weekend has been really great so far. Thursday was my last day at youth works so we had a party that night! it was great! there were two of us from the team leaving, so that was sad but it was great to spend time together as a team one last time! Friday went to church, and spent the entire afternoon on one of works punts with Ash and Paul. such a fabulous day! headed to the city that night with Bron, Jess and Ash for a night of good food and laughs. Including stealing a little piece of sydney! hahaha! That story will have to wait until i come home! Tommorow i head to the easter show, this huge carnival thing with livestock contests and rides and concerts and fireworks, and showbags!! its going to be so good! after that i have no idea what i am doing! but i am sure you will hear from me about it soon!
lots of love
melissa

this is team rathane- the crew that i worked with at youthworks.

super swell

yo!
so here is what i have been up to in the last little while..hmmm... well I spent the weekend getting myself a little organized. I have officially started my last week at youthworks...so sad...might cry...but i am excited about what lies ahead.. lots of travellings and general hanging out buisness. so should be swell....speaking of swell....on sunday Ash and i drove to Kiama and Gerringong to check out some stuff... one being the blowhole which is basically a hole in some rocks and when the waves are really strong they push out the hole and splash up..it was glorious..this weekend the swell was bigger than it has been in 30 years so its was insane! so lots of crazy waves and most of the beach was covered..it was cool. also checked out a town called Berry which was also good times...so here are some pictures for you..
peace out
