Gotye
November 4, 2011
I have spent the last 4 days in Pittsworth, just out of Toowoomba (QLD, Australia) with my friend Tarquin. We went to stay with my housemate Kylie and her family.
I think this may have been the highlight of my time in Australia.
I’m only here for another 3 weeks now, and the last few days will make it even harder to leave. Her family were so welcoming and kind, housing two strangers and showing us what life in Australia is really about. Her Dad is a cross between my Grandad and Croccodile Dundee. We were taken fishing in a creek, where we caught our own Yellow Bellies and a teraphin, to check the pig traps, roo hunting, and to the local pub. As well as scouting out the local area and stopping to investigate any road kill we were treated to an Aussie/Phillapeno BBQ where I was even given a birthday cake.
Couldn’t have had a better time, and to top it all off we backed the winning horse in the Melbourne Cup.
I know Australia has so much still left to show me and I will be sad to leave.
Gotye – Somebody That I Used to Know has become the song which will forever remind me of being in Australia. As much as I love it it really doesn’t sum up my time here very well.
