Tired and frustrated with all the Pom-bashing going on over here for the rugby World Cup final, we thought we’d get in the spirit. So today we’ve tarted up the van with a nice logo and tomorrow it’ll be the turn of the face paints. Oh, and a nice official England RWC T-Shirt and hat for the bargain price of $12 (about £5!) – apparently there’s no demand over here for England stuff. If we’d been Kiwi’s it would have been even cheaper - $5 for a T-shirt, hat and scarf set!
Anyway, tomorrow night we’ll be in a pub in front of a large screen, and an even larger crowd of Wallaby fans. Ooh Err! This might be my last ever diary update!
In one of those curious coincidences that turns into a treat for the girls, we drove back into Jervis Bay this afternoon (where we’ve been staying since Thursday night) at the same time as the official weigh in for the “White Beach fishing competition”. They were catching Meiko sharks, and when we arrived they were hoisting the winner – a 143 kilo fish about 8 foot long. The girls were fascinated to see it all going on, and especially when it ghoulishly starting dripping blood from its mouth when it was lowered from the scales. It was all a long way away from a Friday afternoon at home!
