So we've been in the apartment a week now and managed to both get jobs. Mine is in a bar/ pub which is pretty weird and alternative but serves amazing food, it's also a bit far to get to which is annoying but definately better than nothing, Elliot has a job in town at Zara which pays amazing but for some reason are only giving him like one shift a week which isn't too great! We went out one night with amber and her boyfriend in St kilda which was nice to catch up...

So we've tried to book the hostel for another night but they are full! So we are on major house hunt! The day is going so badly! It's raining and the first viewing we have just doesn't answer the door at all when we get there! Just as we think our lives have hit an all time low as we are sitting in McDonald's to steal wifi..

Later we go to drop the campervan off! Mixed emotions! And are given a nice $180 fine for the tiniest chip on the windscreen which apparently wasn't covered on our ridiculously expensive insurance! When Alicia gets back we go to Coles to get bbq stuff and she invites over some friends who are reall...

Today we head down to the beach the weather is slightly better, we also finally sort out Elliot's phone and bank account only a month after we've been here! Then the weather starts going down hill so we start the journey to Brisbane which gains us another hour! Brisbane is like a full on city and very confusing to drive around! We finally find the man made lagoon and try and get the last bit of sun before it starts to rain! We have to wait until 7 to meet our fri...
