Still in Childers....but loving it!! We have met some really nice people and due to the weather everyone has been of work for most of this week so we have lots of time in which we have to entertain ourselves.

The hostel is pretty much 24 hours. I went to bed fairly early the other night as I had to leave for work at 4am and when I got up and sat and had my breakfast I was still part of the drunken night that had been going on whilst I slept.

Met a guy called Chaz who is walking entertainment. He kept us occupied with his insane stories, crazy songs, a huge array of circus tricks and, at night, fire juggling!! Ace! We have a pool here and I have spent a lot of time in there playing with my underwater camera and playing catch which when you drop it you have to do a belly flop! Not good for those people with sunburn after they fell asleep outside in the early hours of the morning.

I have been to work twice this week and on the second day got 26 buckets which is the most I have managed so far, although I am still miles off earning minimum wage for it which sucks. Hoping to get another job as soon as. They were offering one days work at a fish farm the other day which involved trawling a large net through a lake with some people pulling it from the banks and some people swimming through the water with the net. I was well up for it and it is really well paid too. However I was told that 'they don't "do" girls'. It is so incredibly sexist and racist where we are, they are so backwards here. They initially offered the job to Dave who is not a particularly strong swimmer and also wears glasses and so would not be able to see too well in the water....absolute joke!!! I was (and i think still am) very annoyed!!!

I have become the Sugar Bowl haridresser within the last week. Amy asked my to cut her hair and following that I have had loads of people asking for haircuts. If I was charging I wouldn't actually need to go to work at all!!!

Tuesday the boys all went off to Bundaberg, which is nearly an hours drive, to have a McDonalds first and then bought back dominos pizzas for everyone. It was awesome and as it was on a tuesday everything is way cheaper and so large pizzas were only $5 (less than 3 pounds).

As you can probably tell, there is not too much exciting news from Childers but I am loving it here!!!
