My life works in very strange, and usually completely random ways. This is where I write about it just so I can keep track of what's going on, and for everyone else who wants to know about what I'm doing they can do so, because I'm usually toolazy to update everyone by e-mail

A pointless mission all the way to Emerald
After changing my mind about a million times, I decided to go all the way up to Emerald ( which was a 9 hour drive north and inland) to p[rune some grape vines. On the bus up there I met 3 English girls that were going to the same place. Thank God!!! because the place was a nightmare. The place looked like a concentration camp. We were each placed into seperate white box-like rooms.
Within hours of being there I had my food stolen. To make things even worse our employer tried to scam us by making us do 2 jobs at once but only paying us for one. After a few days we broke free having earned 0$$$. Though it felt a bit like I was escaping from prison.
Wooo! good times in Emerald!
So we took a bus 6 hours BACK south!! to a place called Bundaberg where we were promised at least 5 days a week of work. We lived in a 2 bedroom apartment with 3 other people (that makes 7 of us in atimy little place)....Well a week passed, we watch a LOT of TV and only got one full day of work. Well that got us 35$ richer!!
I wasted more money thean made money there.
So we headed even further south (only a half hour from where I origingally started) to a place called Childers.

Fraser island
So I finally packed my bags and moved from the van. My first stop was to Hervey Bay where I met up with Beverly, my Canadian friend I met while telemarketting in Surfer's Paradise. Together we went on a 3 day self drive Fraser Island trip. This is where they put 10 random people together give us a 4x4 and ship us off to an island made entirely of sand. We sleep in tents the entire time we're there and EVERYTHING gets sandy! We lucked out and had a great team, including bev's friend JP whom I absolutly adore! All in all we had a greattime, it rained a bit but we some great lakes, sandunes, and DINGOS!! Also made some tastytasty BBQ, yum
