Along Came Emma

December 2010, along came Emma Louise, she is growing into a really gorgeous little girl, although she is quick to tell me now that she is not a little girl, "I'm a big girl Daddy".  

There have been quite a few sleep overs at Daddy's house on my visits to the Gold Coast, over the past few visits we have graduated from 1 night every few days, most nights.  We are really starting to build a special bond, it's great that she wants to spend time with me, we do have lots of fun together, Emma is a very confident 'big' girl, although she can be shy at times, she knows what she wants, what she likes, is especially picky when it comes to what she wears.

These are a few of my favourite baby photos of Emma

  

Around Town

Well, I thought I would add some various photo's of some of the locals around town, and some of the amusing things I have seen when working.

Tripod, the Dingo with three legs.

Knife we confiscated one night, there is a good story to go with this, maybe another time.

Dugon head, apparently tastes good when boiled.

Pet baby sea turtle, was kept in someone's bath.

Emu Chick

My little mate, just wanted a cuddle....

Few of the local girls.

This snake didn't really like being picked up, don't worry was only a python.

My boys.... They come into the station almost every day, at the station we sell soft drinks, chocolates etc to the locals, these little boys hardly ever have money, I usually give them a chocolate or a Funny Face (icy pole) for free.... They are cool little kids, these boys call me 'Dad Darren'.....
