A labour of love Hi
everyone, My first trip by
myself did take me to India.
I’ve just broken up
with my boyfriend of 8
years. Since I’ve
always wanted to see parts
of India, I knew I could not
do the whole Subcontinent

immediately. Newer baths

first visit to Western
Australia just a couple of
weeks ago. It’s
quite a long way from
Sydney, you know, at the
other coast, facing the
Indian Ocean, 4500

the two towns. I’ve

1999, but I got stuck in
Brisbane. As I attended a 3
