On Sunday 24th January I moved back to Base hostel as they had availability again. I couldn't stand being in the Maze hostel any longer as it was so hot due to no air conditioning in the rooms. Gina and Kerry checked into Sydney Backpackers hostel opposite the Event cinema as its cheaper and I will join them on Wednesday. Once I was settled back into the Base hostel I went to meet Gina and Kerry in the botanical gardens. They were with a guy called Bree who they ...

Gina was put in the...

Alex wasn't working today so in the afternoon we walked to Crows Nest for some coffee in a cafe. She had been working on some ...

I spoke with Anita from AA Appointments about whether any jobs have come available but she said that most of th...

We walked to Woolworths and caught a bus to Manly to meet Kerry and her friend Kat who she has met in the Base hostel. We waited for them to arrive on the ferry from Circular Quay. We had a walk along the beach and then went to have a look around the town. We got ice cream and sat down for a while chatting. Aime...
