So it has been a while since my last blog, in fact I have been at my new home for more than two months now and I have yet to update you (although most likely you will have seen various photos and statuses I have posted via social media so will be in the loop regarding my life). So what have I done? I'm living the country life in south Queensland, just north of Brisbane. Au pairing with a lovely family who live in a remote 'town'. I say 'town' because if you saw...

Agnes Water, part 2! So it took me 21 hours on a bus to get back here... It was long! But worth it in the end! :) What a wonderful few weeks, I've loved every moment and have made some friends for life. Working at Backpackers @ 1770 doing reception work and housekeeping for a few hours a week, in return for accommodation. So pretty handy really!

I still wasn't feeling well and being back on water did not ease my tummy... It wasn't a long journey though, we hopped on the I...

So the bad weather seems to be following us... We finally got to Airlie Beach after the night bus which was very long and very uncomfortable! Had a short walk with all our luggage to our hostel. We stayed at Magnums which was cool cause the rooms were little huts in a rainforest setting! Thankfully, there was a free room for the few of us who arrived so we could go straight in rather than waiting around for hours. I think everyone went back to bed for a bit to tr...
