Happy Labour Day!

Today is a public holiday and we get the day off work. It has been a much needed break for me as I have been working 4 weeks full time now. It is amazing how difficult it is to get back into the working routine. I have been getting busier at the office and have been doing quite a bit of field work, including asbestos monitoring at a 3 million dollar mansion, not too shabby! Over the weekend we went to an Aussie Rules Football game, picture a more confusing and violent version of rugby. Well the West Coast Eagles (Perth's team) got absolutely smashed by Port Adelaide but it was fun nonetheless. We watched the gold medal hockey game this morning at 4am at one of George's coworkers houses. I was outnumbered 3 to 1 by Canadians so as you can imagine the end of the game was not the most pleasant experience for me. I have finally gotten around to putting pictures on my computer so I have included some from my parents trip over, our SCUBA adventure in Queensland and our trip to Shark Bay.
