Goldfields of Mt Magnet

Hello, sorry I've not written much lately but been working extremely long hours and internet here is ridicuously expensive! Don't worry mum; I am still alive, no horror stories in this part of the outback as yet (though I would avoid watchin a horror movie called Wolf Creek that was filmed not far from here, until I'm home!).
Been working in a bar in the goldmining towm of Mt Magnet, in the outback of western australia for about 3 weeks now. The time is just flying - working 10-12 hour shifts everyday as we are short staffed. Its a very sleepy little town with not much to do other than drink in the 3 pubs, so most nights are fairly busy for us when all the miners finish work. Seen around a few of the mines and hoping to find myself a little gold nugget as a souvenier! Everyone is very friendly and I'm enjoying my time here. Think I will be more than ready to escape and get back on the road again in another month though!

Hi Jen,
Sounds amazing, SOOOOO jealous!
Just thought I' d send you a wee note to let you know that Lucy has been a bit poorly, i went out to see her last night and thought she'd benefit from IVFT (she was quite dehydrated and off her food) - but now she's doing really well since one day at glenbrae. Mr and Mrs Love are looking after them so well, try not to worry and send me an email if you need further info, have fun, don't work too hard tho...
Love Jen xxx
