A little view of Broome

Another day at the beach

The pool at the resort

Our beautiful car

Hey everyone! So, since I updated last we've finalized our plans for Bali! Our last day of work will be the 9th of October and we will leave the next day for Darwin. I believe it's about 1200 miles from Broome to Darwin and should take us 4-5 days. We will be staying in campgrounds when we travel and will sleep in the car and in a tent. We're traveling with another couple that works at the resort with us. They are really nice and have been to Bali many times before. We fly out of Darwin on the 15th and will be there for 10 nights. We're staying at a nicer hotel for 7 days called the Bounty. It's a popular hotel for younger people and it's close to most things. We'll also be staying for 3 night in a budget hotel. We did this so we could save some money and still make sure we saw as much as possible. We'll fly back to Darwin and start making our way to the East Coast. The first place we want to see is a town called Cairns. It's a popular town and is supposed to be beautiful. It will be the beginning of the rainy season by the time we get to cairns and hopefully it won't affect us too much. From Cairns we are hoping to head south and work on a banana farm. We know a guy that owns one, so hopefully we'll be able to work there for a couple weeks and earn some money. After this month or so worth of travels and adventures there's no telling where we'll end up! I've heard the area around Aerli beach is a good spot to find a job and it's high on our list of prospects. Recently in Broome I've seen some pretty cool things. This morning I saw a Japanese fighter from WWII that had crashed in the ocean right by our resort. You can only see it a couple times a year because of the tides and this was one of them. Also, we saw some fossilized dinosaur prints. They were pretty cool but I'm still a little skeptic if they're real or not. Also, a group of us went on a cruise around the bay on an old pearl lugger. It was a relaxing day capped off by a beautiful sunset. Ill try to upload some photos for everyone to see as soon as possible. I hope all is well and everyone is enjoying life.
Much love,
TJ
p.s. Go Pokes!

Work... at 4 a.m.??

Hey everyone!
Sorry it's been so long since I updated last... but life's been pretty busy lately. I've been working the last 8 days and I have to go into work at 4 am tomorrow morning. It's gonna be a rough day especially since I probably won't be able to fall asleep until 10 or 11. I have to go in so early because another guy didn't show up for his shift yesterday and so he got fired. It won't be much fun, but it'll be nice at noon when i'm done with work. In other news, we will be heading to the Indonesian island of Bali in a month. We're gonna spend a week there and then drive to the east coast once we get back to australia. It's gonna be around 3000 km from darwin to the general area on the east coast we're gonna go to. Needless to say, the three of us are going to be very close after this trek! It'll probably take around 2 weeks to make the drive and then we'll start looking for jobs wherever we stop. We're heading to Bali with an australian couple and some of there friends. They have been there before and know the places to do and see. I'm looking forward to being able to have a week of rest and relaxation before we make our voyage in the car. I have two days off on saturday and sunday so I'll hopefully be albe to upload some photos and I will probably be on Skype some. I'll try and get on in the morning time so if you'd like to chat it'll probably be saturday or sunday night around 9 oklahoma time. Hope all is well back home.
