Goodbye to Gabriel

Gabriel, who is a backpacker from Taiwan, stayed with us for ten days as a help_exchange worker. He did lots: painted the last part of the front fence; painted the railings on the verandah; mulching and watering. Lots of watering.
On his final day we took him down to Casino station where he caught an overnight train down to Sydney and then on to Melbourne.

He really enjoyed staying with us apart from the next door neighbour's elderly dog (Gabe was canine-phobic) and the dead rats under his bedroom floor which created a rather horrible stench for a couple of days.



We treated ourselves to Thai cuisine in Casino before putting Gabe on the train. He plans to return in the new year.
