australian news travels fast!

It seems that Australia's dry spell is starting to make an impact in international news. A two page feature and the front cover of today’s Independent, click here for the story.

It goes on to say how dire the situation is, how the Liberal party can't even agree if it will or won't work without Victoria and, more interestingly, how the UN has warned Australia about the potential of this situation for a number of years. Shame we don't tend to listen to the UN when it comes to the environment!

Almost in other news, the Camden New Journal was going to run a story about our trip. That was until we realized that we had inadvertently gotten in contact with a newspaper of that name in Minneapolis USA, not London England. Oh well, guess we will try the UK version now!

Emily has been staying on the floor at our place while Bridgette has been in the Gambia. She's been here almost two weeks and has already found a great house in Hackney, which she is moving into on Saturday. We didn't kick her out, but I think the though of three people in the shoe box was a little daunting for her!

Bridgette gets back from the Gambia tonight, so I'm sure she will have heaps to report on her African adventures very soon.
