Hey All, Well this last week has been pretty eventful! On Thursday I moved out of my cousins house and into a flat share with one of the zoo keepers who specifically rents out her room for volunteers. It was kind of bittersweet as I really loved staying with my family out here but also being somewhere new will force me to get out and socialise a bit.

I have been quietly working away volunteering at the zoo 4 days a week and still loving it. Last week I had LPG put into my jeep and so stocked up on camping gear and at the weekend decided to head up into the Great Sandy national park for a weekend of camping and 4WD. I went with a friend from the UK who has moved over here and we took off Fr...

OK so the drive today to Krombit was about 8 hours leaving at 8am. What a day to have the hangover from hell. You see what happened last night was that all the boats that went out (about 6 in total) all have tables booked for the night they get back to shore in the same place. the result is about 100 peeps getting very drunk. Ofcourse not wanting to be outdone I embarked on a quaffing session with the crew of the Boomerang. the result I am pleased to say is: I do...
