Two Weeks In Mitchell

We have come to the end of our two weeks in Mitchell, but - it's not over yet! They want us to stay! I've been offered more work and so has John! We have decided we will do TWO more days next week and THEN we will LEAVE! John will have cut out all the sheep by then so the kids & I will have another two days at school. Anyone looking for work just need go West and you will find it! We plan to go to Charleville to the Cosmos Observatory and then head North!
We have very much enjoyed our time here - I have taught a lovely class, Nic & Catherine have 'sort of enjoyed school' and poor John has been working physically hard!
It is warming up a little here, so by the time we reach Darwin, it will be HOT!
Last weekend we went to Roma & saw a light show about the Oil & Gas Industry - very interesting! John went to the sale. Roma has the largest cattle yards in the Southern Hemisphere! We watched the Chiefs beat the Sharks at the Irish Pub. We went for morning tea to a Station that the teacher I am relieving for owns - very different scenery than what we are used to!
The only thing we have missed is watching the Olympics (but Aussie TV doesn't air Kiwi prowess, so it doesn't matter anyway - jokes!). Oh, I have missed my bed!
We are looking forward to getting 'on the road again'!
Hope you are all well & happy!
