Wow, I hadn't realised how long it had been since I updated until I re-read my last entry! I'm heading into my third week of working for WorkCover QLD, it was incredibly boring at first, they had me standing in front of a photocopier for the first two days solid! I was not impressed, I feel I've paid my dues as a gopher already, and they certainly aren't paying me enough to put up with it. However, needs must as the devil drives, and if I wanted a flat, I had to have money. Now it's just stressful, these people are so far behind that they can't even take time to train me, which means I'm not helping out as much as I'm sure I would be able to. Oh well, twill do til something better ... read more

What now? So when I booked a plane ticket to Brisbane about a month ago, I did it for several reasons. * I like Brisbane (or is it that I'm unfamiliar with it?) * to see my friend Mary * XXXX Bitter * it's reeeeeeally far away from where I came from; and * railways go all over the place from here. And I like railways. Those people who were extras on All Terrain canceled so I'm free to do whatever the hell I want again but I'm not really packed to have time off anymore so I'm without one or two silly things which I would usually take on a holiday-type thing. So now I'm booked up to my fourth night here (tomorrow night) and the sky is the limit from there on. But I ... read more

Siamo ormai alla fine del nostro viaggio in Australia, domani abbiamo il volo per Auckland, Nuova Zelanda. 15 giorni sono decisamente troppo pochi per visitare questo paese spettacolare e vastissimo, ma visto i prezzi altissimi forse e' stato meglio cosi' e abbiamo ancora un po' di soldini per i nostri prossimi 4 mesi di world tasting! Siamo riusciti comunque a vivere delle belle avventure e vedere posti incredibilmente affascinanti. Qui e' inverno ma quasi ogni giorno abbiamo avuto cielo azzurro e luce e colori brillanti della natura, come non avevamo visto da nessun'altra parte, e temperatura sui 22 gradi. Siamo stati due giorni a Fraser Island, l'isola di sabbia piu' grande del mondo e patrimonio dell'Unesco. Abbiamo girato in 4x4 con un gruppo e una guida, guidato lungo un'autostrada di sabbia di 75 km, camminato nella ... read more

First of all two days left in Brisbane! The alarm went off today at 5:50 even though Shelly's had been going off constantly it seemed since 5:00. I got up and grabbed a shower. When I got back I said good bye to Shelly as it was the last time I would see her in Brisbane. I grabbed all my work stuff and went to AWX. They had cereal out waiting so I did not have to eat my PB&J that I had made. I still did anyways though. I sat around there reading the papers like usual enjoying my coco pops with TONNES of milk. Figured I would get my dairy for the day since it was free lol. Turns out the weather is still killing the work situation. Casey a guy who deals with ... read more
