Another week has passed us by in the campsite here in Newmarket and it is beginning to take its toll! Whilst we have been looking for jobs and apartments we are obviously trying to save as much money as possible, which has meant that we have been spending a lot of the day in the tent reading over the local newspapers and backpacker magazines. In most places this wouldn't be such a problem, but then most paces don't have dickheads in the corner playing damn diddl...

We have been back in Brisbane for just over two weeks now and we are beginning to see some progress in our hunt for somewhere to work and to somewhere to live for the next few months. We are currently at the Newmarket campsite that we stayed at before and our first few days were a bit of a struggle as we had a few tent issues.

Once again we arrived to find the camping ground almost empty but this time we had only needed to drive a couple of kilometres off of the main highway, so we didn't feel quite as exposed and remote as we had done the previous two nights. Once we had got the tent set up in some sh...
