Well another update on my adventures!
Well Seattle was all good, great party town after this jumped on the train and headed to Portland, Oregon, very chilled city has an awesome art gallery and pretty good beer. Has 35 micro-breweries in the local area, they love the stuff, for me its a bit hit and miss with taste, Pinko could start your own brewiung company easy! Jumped back on the train for another 10 hours and got to San Francisco, pretty cool city but why the hell they couldn't somewhere flat i dont know did some crazy injury to my foot and nearly couldnt walk for three days but perservered caught up with Paula after here tree hugging adventure, then finally caught up with my little bro stayed in San Fran for about a week and then headed back up north. Definately worth the trip south to check out US West Coast, so glad bro was behind schedule though monetary funds felt the impact.
Well we got back to Vancouver, got way to drunk with bro at a place called Malones which by no accident was beneath our hostel and then headed across to Victoria and checked out the town, nice place not alot happens.
Have hired a car for two weeks to do a road trip but only got as far as Whistler (12okm north) and decided that did want to work here so now driving to the border so Travis can activate visa and i can set up security number, prob going to try and stay the whole season if can find a place to crash. Going to live with brother, Lisa (Travis' friend from camp) and Corrine (Lisa friend) All aussies, at Aussie north as the Vancouver locals refer to whistler.
Whistler is starting to get cold so the camping has been good fun but think will be coming to an end other wise will be submerged in the snow. (Travis and I bought $50 tent for trip, is really good).
Favourite City thus far - Seattle for nightlife, Portland for chilled factor.
Love the mountains are spectacular.
Still have to download photos from mp3 player but has flat batteries so next time. Will try and keep the updates more regular and tell some more stories.

"...an awesome art gallery" - Mix, unless you stumbled into a an adult bookshop after 35 micro-breweries, what are you talking about?!
Even if it did take you three days longer to catch up with Paula with your busted foot, it's great to hear that you guys are all hanging out together in North America. Do you think that perhaps Whistler could become, instead of "Aussie North", perhaps "Cowra North", "Mulyan" or even "Taragala"? Cowra people go everywhere!
What is the work that you are going to do at Canadian Taragala? Also, have you been picking up many girls in your travels? (Post photos).
G'day to Trav' and Fin' too!
Cheers,
PINKO

Seeing you in San Fran seems like years ago...time to update us on your travels - I need to be distracted from the thought that I'm back home and back at work and not still in the US!
