Things are happening in Jabiru!!

Just so you don't think we have drowned in the toilets or something:) I give you a short update on what's going on:)
We're heading into the rainseason, and we've had a few storms, like proper storms(but not the one you've heard about on the news, in Brisbane, it was supposed to come here to, but it must hav skipped us completely, not a sign of it:) But we had a lightning hitting a tree in the park(that's what we call this logde / caravan park, the tree was just behind one of the toilets we clean every day!), and it was split in two and very black.. So that's was a close one, and when the thunder really sets in our house is shaking, so it is interesting, for sure!
On Kris's birthday(the 7th of november, everyone..), he had to work 3 shifts(toilets, 6.5 hours, cleaning school, 2 hours, foodrunning in the bar, 4 hours) so he didn't have much fun, but the rest of us had a blast, hehehe! There was 2 guys from one of the most popular radioshows in Australia here, they had a broadcast from the park during the day, as far as I know, and they also were dj's and held a concert in the bar/ restaurant at night, really funny country music, but all of jabiru was here, and it was dancing and singing and we had a great time!!! It's not often things like that happen here, that's for sure... :) great night!
And we've also managed to see something else in kakadu national park since last time you all heard from us, cause we had a saturday off, and so did Laura and Laura, two of our coworkers or what you call it, and we hijacked Adrians can( he was working in the bar that day;) and went on a road trip!! Saw a lot of bush, it is muh greener already, allthough we haven't had that much rain, and I saw 3 wild horses, and a lot of those "houses" the termits build, they are higher than people, almost high as trees!!!! :) The sad thing is, since it has been raining a little, we couldn't drive all the way to where we had planned, to ses some waterfalls and go for a swim, so after 150 km on the road, we had to go back, without really seeing anything.. Didn't really matter, cause we drove to see some pools(natural) somewhere else, had a 3 km hike in there to see them, wasn't that much water, ut we had lunch, and then we heard a big splash in the water.. laura and Laura decided to go back, but K and I had to look.. Couldn't see anything at first, but all of a sudden the water was full of riplets(?you know rings in the water..)(ringer i vannet), and they grew bigger and bigger and came from the opposite side of the pool... And then we left.. Yes, there are crocodiles here.. A lot of them, apparently.. :) Hihi!
I think that is all that has happened, that is important.. Well, last night we had some sort of storm, all of a sudden the air was filled of flying ants, and they crashland anywhere and loose they're wings, so you can imagine how it was to clean all the toilets today.. Took us a lot longer, cause of the wings, they were everywhere, and they are so light, they just fly everywhere!!!!Oh well, not so interesting.. (our toilets are kind of outdoor toilets, it is so hot everyday so they don't really need doors or windows..) (Liksom en aapen losning, kan du si:)

I think that must be the most interesting stuff that has been going on.. HAHAHAHA, THAT'S FUNNY!!!!:)
Have a great winter everyone, we miss it so much, stupid as that is, who wouldn't want summer all year? ( I don't apparently...;)
