One new German girl

I am Franzi and I just arrived some days ago for my 6-month-stay in Cunnamulla at Out the Back Australia. Although I have just arrived I had already the opportunity to see a lot of the typical Outback in Australia. I went on tour the first week with two very nice sisters from the Netherlands. We had a lot of fun and we really enjoyed our impressions of the outback. We went to a Roderick Taylors farm where we flew in his plane and drove a Quad. That was really an adventure! Besides we went to Charlotte Plains to see another real Outback farm. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to our friends from the Netherlands, but we all hope that we will see us one day again!

Beautiful January Sunday in the outback

What a magnificent day to wake up in the outback of Queensland.  This morning in Cunnamulla it i is clear blue skies and a nice cool breeze.  The birds are out in force and I am sure the locals will also be given it is such a magnificent day.  See this Tawny Frogmouth that came to visit in our back yard.  There are in fact three of them that keep coming and going.  When they are up in the trees they look like a piece of dead branch.  Would you like to see these birds in your yard?

 

HOT

It is getting hot!!!

This week it is over 40 degrees and you really have trouble not to sweat. Of course air-conditions are running everywhere, so you are hopping from one cool spot to the other. What are you doing to stay cool and to get away from the heat? Are you just sitting in front of your air condition at home watching TV? Or are you enjoying the heat outside sitting under a shady tree? Probably you are swimming in the pool or in the river?

These are all opportunities to stay cool and not to get a heatstroke. If you have to go outside during the hottest part of the day, that means around lunch time, wear a hat and lots of sunscreen. Drink always plenty of water before you leave the house and while you are staying in the heat!

If all these tips do not help you should maybe think about travelling to a cooler place? Holidays are still on so take your gear and head of!

What did you do??

We are sitting here in our air-conditioned office, freezing. So we are nice and cool if you want to join us, we also offer cold drinks!!
