Hey guys, just thought I’d give you an update on what’s going on!
I’m still in Sydney, Oz! It’s great here - definitely a city you could stay
in permanently. I’m sitting in my office in the Department of Premier and
Cabinet which is my new casual job! A friend of mine in Sydney who I met
along the way sorted it out for me. All I have to do is listen to the radio
for news and minister interviews - that’s the bulk of my job! Very
exciting!
Anyway, I’m going to update my website in the next few days. So keep
checking! There’s a lot to put on and some new photos. I’ve stopped doing
touristy things for now and will do so for the next couple of months whilst
I work to afford the next part of my journey around Australia.
The hostel I’m staying at is pretty cool , we have arranged nights where they take us out
with a bar tab and free drinks. The night life’s really good and I’ve had a
few drunken nights..
Anyway speak soon
Andy

Dear Paul, Heather & Staff,
My Husband and I wanted to say a big thank you for making our special day the best day of our lives.
The day ran smoother than we could ever have imagined. The food was fantastic & the staff couldnt have done more for us.
All our guests thouroughly enjoyed themselves and there wasn”t a single guest that didnt say what a beutiful venue we had chosen.
Also I personally wanted to say thank you for all your help in the run up to the wedding, I felt that there wasn”t a single thing that would be too much trouble.
Thank you again, Best Wishes.

Dear Heather & Paul.
Some little time has now passed since the wedding of our daughter Louise to Steve, and we feel its time, now that we have recovered a little bit from the excitement, that we write to express our grateful thanks to you and your staff. Everybody made a vital contribution to what turned out to be a truly wonderful day.
Everybody who attended the wedding reception and the evening disco were unanimous in their praise for the beautiful setting of Blakelands for a wedding.
The food for the main meal and the buffet was of excellent quality and quantity, most obligingly and courteously served by your staff.
The Whole day was a wonderful success so once again many thanks to everyone at Blakelands.With best wishes for your continued success.
Jacqueline & Jim
