Hey everyone!

Hope you are all well?? I just walked all the way to the internet and realised i have left behind my river valley photos!!! yes i have them at last so will put them on here asap!

well after my sad goodbye to tiff (in a nightclub where we had been given free drinks all night as we were attracting guys in to the club, and 2 hours before i had to be in the airport!) ................ i am now in mission beach which is 2 hours south of cairns! its gorgeous here and to top it all off i have managed to get myself a job on a dive/snorkel boat which goes to the great barrier reef every day! i am the 'hostess with the mostess'!!! the pay's not great but i dont do alot of work throughout the day and i get to snorkel every day! i have been for 3 dives aswell and i've only been working there for 2 weeks!.....................last week i actually got to stroke a big turtle too!!! i love them................they're so cute!!!!

well im probably going to stay here until xmas and then i really do have to do some fruit picking!!! im not sure if i will stay for 2 years but i want to keep my options open and you can use the 2nd yr visa anytime within the next 5 yrs too!

anyway, last night i won the best outfit at the hostel fancy dress comp! we had to dress as something starting with 'g' so i went as some garbage!!! i made a dress out of a bin-bag and searched the hostel bins for all kinds of rubbish to stick all over me!!! i also won a 3 day 4wd trip on fraser island! everyone goes here when they travel so its a great prize..................i actually won this on the 'scavenger hunt'! there are 5 rounds and you have 10 mins to find all kinds of stuff like a guy called fred, a porno, a d cup bra, do a 15 second pole dance etc etc..........well an hour later i was sweating like a pig in my bin liner outfit but i did bloody well and ended up in the final round where me and another girl had to down 2 glasses of beer in a race! i dont know how i won but it had something to do with me pouring half of it all down myself! did the hugest burp halfway through and i was drinking slower and slower but i was determined to win so i forced the last bit down and as they announced me as winner of the trip and also the best dressed i puked all over the floor!!! ha ha!!!! it was worth the free trip though!!! to top off the night the guy in the bunk next to me wet himself so the owner gave me an upgrade to a double room to say sorry! yeah!

well the east coast is definately more of a party land than on the west...................its making it much harder to save money!!! anyway i have to go but i hope you are all well and i will update you again soon! lots of love kristyxxxxxxxx
