Day 50 Friday 27th August 2010 & postscript

Hi folks.

A breezy sunny morning at Lawn Hill with lots of sun, great for battery recharging. An early morning loop walk up to the lookout where we discover yes it is possible to get phone reception just. If you had to run up there to make a phone call you would be bloody fit. After returning we attended to some chores around camp. I managed to drop my laptop in the dirt. It is still working apart from the shift key which makes it a bit hard to insert exclamation marks. I am not sure if it is a mechanical or a programming function so will investigate later. We then inflated the Titanic II and rowed up to the falls. The inflatable is nowhere near as aqua dynamic as a canoe so most people were passing us. Still we did save 20 dollars an hour on canoe hire. A quick trip to Adels Grove to investigate the possibility of work proved a red herring but we have contacts for next season. I have included a video below from the last couple of days.
Cheers Simon



......POSTSCRIPT

The trip to Adeles Grove to enquire about jobs for a couple of weeks was unsuccessful due to the tourist season almost ending, we were asked to contact the managers and were given a business card with a view to work next year. I suggested it was time to look at the WWOOF Book and see if we could do something for a couple of weeks prior to the Cape tour, can’t seem to get Simon interested, although he has promised we will do some WOOFING after Cape York, couldn’t see if his fingers were crossed though.
