Surfers Paradise Surfers Paradise was a bit of a let down when we first arrived, the place was really touristy- a city full of high rise buildings, holiday resorts and trashy stores darted with a few designer ones. I don't think it helped that we had put so much pressure on ourselves to stay there for a month and find jobs, there simply weren't any jobs for us to get!

W e must have driven for around 11hours in the blistering heat through literally nowhere! There were gas stations every few miles but apart from that just a vast landscape, which luckily for us was green and not red like we expected! There had been huge down pours in the outback which was rea...
