Burns and motorcycles

Rose | July 2, 2009

Hello my “Little Australians” (and beloved others),
Hanoi is a wonderful place – has a million things going for it.
One of these is travel by moto, however I was riding home from dinner the other night on a Xe Om (moto taxi) – as Lily was on the back of Sam’s bike – and as I [...]

So,  I am now writing to you as a wise and experienced 25 year old. Had a great birthday at Moore River with Lil, Mum, Pete and the Cowcher-Guthries. And of course Woody (the golden retriever.) Dad, Chris and Bron also made it up for my birthday, it was a rager- there was swimming and [...]

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Poon

Sam | May 29, 2008

I went with Rosie to see the new Indiana Jones movie, not sure what to expect. I was pretty chuffed that Indi was on the screen again and wasn’t turned off cos he wasn’t 25 and the like and yadda yadda yadda.
I gotta say.. It was so fucking boss. If you were a bit of [...]

Rose’s Graduation

Sam | March 18, 2008

Hola!
Thought I’d put this video up on the blog of Rose graduating last night. I’m sure she’ll write a few words on here about it.
Rosie, I’ll embed this video into your post (if you know what I mean!) when you write yours.

Driver License

Sam | March 10, 2008

Passed my C class license today.
This was one of those pre-requisites that I needed to do to complete applications for work up north as I need the ability to drive a car when I’m being flown in, and walking from my Donga to the cleaning closet and then to the Dongas.
Anyway. Car’s are crap. They [...]

Rose | February 7, 2008

Woah!! what a day, Sam sped us down the freeway early this morning at a rockin’ 5km an hour on his new L plates, while I bravely supervised.

Creation of this blog

Sam | January 24, 2008

Hey,
Going to take me a few weeks to get it setup but I’m setting up this blog so Rose and I can document our travels.
A blog is necessary, because Rose is a noob with no HTML knowledge. I don’t think she’s really that prepared for this whole ‘internet’ thing yet.
