So first week on the WA road trip has been interesting. Staying at a reformed backpackers in karratha was one of the most challenging hostel experiences on the working holiday so far. Let me set the scene.. Six weeks before the team turned up the hostel had been neglected and abused by a group of backpackers, who would pay for a room then have double the amount of people stay.

So it's been a week since we arrived and the constant handing of resumes and attending interviews has come to no avail. Well in saying this we have a job as a charity fundraiser.. Time will tell as to how it pays and whether the rejection factor will overwhelm us, who knows, it may be an enjoyable experience.
