Jillaroo school

Well, I'm just back from 11 days of cowgirl school on a farm called Leconfield. It's close to Tamworth which is about 7 hours north of Sydney. It's been good fun, but crazy cold in the nights! This is not what I came to Australia for...And there was no internet connection up there or mobile phone coverage.. Oh my.. Strange to feel so cut off from the rest of the world. But now I'm back at the civilization and it feels good although I feel really dirty. Can't wait to find a room and take a warm shower..

We have just been offered a job picking cotton, but I don't know whaat I'd do, it's really cold here, and I'd really like to go a bit north.. Hmm... I got another job offer making beds at a hotel on the Whitsundays... What to do, what to do...

The cowboy school was fun though. I have done so many funny things I never thought I'd do. I have been hand milking a cow..

Sheered a sheep (that is to shave their wool off), I have shoed a horse! And earmarked a calf.. I can't remember everything at the moment, but I have sent in my pictures, so later I'll see if I can put some on this page..

first time I've lassoed a cotton seed bag..

My mail is fine, it was just some problems in Sydney, so you can keep sending me mails, I'll answer as soon as I can find the time! And I really enjoy reading news from home!!

Gotto go.. Write more again later.
