Sunday 22nd January 2012 I have finally made a decision to leave the most expensive city in Australia, some people would say it's a wise choice; but I am going to New Zealand on 29th January for 3 and a half weeks, then Fiji for a few days to spend more money! But this will be money worth spent as opposed to living in an expensive hostel, jobless! During the past few weeks I attempted to look for a job which as you are aware has failed (as I am leaving).

Wednesday 28th December As you may have realised it's been a while since my last update and sorry for keeping you all in the dark; however, since my last update I have now been in Sydney for three weeks. After the Whitsundays I took a night bus from Airlie Beach back to Cairns as I had a pre booked flight from Cairns to Sydney the next day, on the 8th December.

All the lifts we got were from legit people and i...

Wednesday 30th November For about a week now everyone had been going on about how I must visit Baron Falls; I had never heard of it nor knew anything about it, but I took their word for it and a group of us (Me, Hannah, Kazz, Digby and Maggie) borrowed a car (off a friend) and went for the afternoon. I didn't know this at the time but Hannah had already been to the falls and took us the most dangerous way possible to get the best view! When we arrived we were...
