Well indeed it has been a very busy couple of months for this little vegemite. All voluntary obligations are done for now, not for long though. Time to play catch up on all the emails haunting my inbox. Shouldn’t really be blogging now, but yes I should…

Lots to say, lets hope I don’t get interrupted by visits to my little office here @ Njoy.

Lydie, product manager from Tribal Travel is here with her very cool partner Stefan. They are here to see our beautiful part of the world whilst it is cold down south, as you do, and a lot of people do. To be truthful, it is bloody beautiful here at the moment…

We just got rid of 32 musicians from Kuranda Roots festival that was here on the weekend. Great gig, getting better every year. I am seriously looking forward to Reggaetown on Sept 5th @ Tjapukai. Wonderful line up, especially looking forward to Katchafire  http://www.katchafire.co.nz/   who will return to Calypso, Blue King Brown http://www.bluekingbrown.com/  who are old timers of Calypso, and of course our new friend Ladi 6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKuUMPGwhuM  who was with us just 2 weeks ago… This chick is amazing, all good.

Now, to our beloved Backpacking Industry. Busy for now, but a wondering actually where they all are. Like I say, busy for now, hoping to keep it that way. All the statistics that Tourism Australia and the likes produce indicate ‘increase, increase, increase’. Anyone got any ideas on this one.

Being back in the saddle here means I am not travelling all over the place, and I can concentrate on the frontline here at our cool and groovy hostels. I like it like this… oh…, and I have to give attention to some of our valued guests right now, write lata…

Baa.
