I intended on starting this when I first left NZ on my journeys. Didn't happen. All good though, the year has trucked on and it is July and I am just starting a really exciting part of my year.
From March through till the beginning of July I have been staying with my parents on Groote Eylandt to earn some cash and check their world out. Groote is in the Gulf of Carpentaria up in the Northern Territory of Australia. I worked for a local freight company which included helping with Vincent Aviation at the airport and also at the local club called Alyangula Recreation Club where I spent many hours kicking it in the bottleshop. Both good social jobs which meant I got to meet a lot of good people.
A sure highlight of time on Groote was my first dabble at playing AFL footy for the local team, called the Alyangula Swans. Although many games were canceled due to fighting and tension on the field, when we did play it was awesome! Great team of lads too.
I am now in Singapore staying in Little India at a hostel called the Inncrowd. Very cool little hostel and Little India is a magic area. I am only here for three days but have managed to check out the zoo, the shopping up Orchard Rd, and Sentosa Island. Highlight would have to be the man made standing wave on Sentosa Island. Not easy but stacks of fun.
Tomorrow I fly to Toronto via Dubai and will be meeting up with friends from back home for Mike Butwells wedding at Niagara Falls. Gona be a massive few days!
