June 18th - 20th. Mission Beach.- From 6PM I am officially 23The 18th, as some of you might be aware, was my birthday. Recently I always seem to be doing something unusual on the day itself, from clearing a muddy field of rotting rubbish (twice!) to throwing glowstick shapes to Robbie Williams at an adult disco whilst at Centre Parks, and this year continued the trend. The day itself was very brief this year, mostly because I refused to accept my last day in the ...

une 1st - 18th. Tully. - It's the work, the work, the working life. I woke on the first day of June at the lovely andin no wat uncomfortable hour of 5AM to begin my almost 3 week stit of banana work.

The airport shuttle dropped me off right outside of Dreamtime Travellers Rest and in spite of the reception being closed I was able to get my room key from within a safe which we'd been given the code of...a ...

May 17th and 18th. Sydney- In which nearly everything possible goes wrong.The last blog was giant, but then again a lot happened in Fiji so it had to be really. Rest assured this one is a lot smaller, I was only in Sydney for one night, passing through on my way to Cairns. It would have been even briefer were it not for a law restricting flights into/out of the airport between 10PM and the early morning. All well and good for those living nearby but not nearly so...
