July 20 – 24th. Magnetic Island - Sore feet, motionless grey bundles and no weeding in sight A kind of boring but necessary logistical opening paragraph: The original plan, retrieved from my foggy memory, arrive on Magnetic Island, a twenty minute ferry journey from Townsville, on Wednesday, spend two nights relaxing in hostel-land before three nights (Fri, Sat, Sun) WWOOFing on the island and then down to another host in the Mackay area on Monday. The prev...

July 7th – 20th. Townsville - Thinking outside the box and finding weeds It had been almost a whole week back in hostel land as such high time to return to WWOOFing. The closest big place (AKA the nearest place the Greyhound stops) is Townsville, which was a three hour and forty-five minute southwards drive from Mission Beach, including a half hour stop in Cardwell.

At very least we've not got the same room, so the spell is broken somewhat. Last time we...

June 20 - July 1st. Yabullum, Murray Falls.- Grooming those tired Tully memoriesWe jumped on the Greyhound and within the next half hour arrived at out next destination...Tully! There is no escape! Actually there is, as our new WWOOF host Sizanne whisks us twenty minutes up the road to her farm, Yabullum, in Murray Falls. Tully would remain ever present as we'd return to it every couple of days for grocerys but somehow it was less depressing now I wasn't actually...
