Well the application I use to write my travel blog crashed and deleted my entire blog. Luckily, as I saw it was crashing, I hit print screen, so I managed to save most of it. I think I missed a line or two at the top, but hey... I'll type up what I managed to salvage: 28/09/12 Yesterday was fairly standard as far as the shift went but this weekend will see an increase of arrivals getting us up to 100% capacity, bring on the hell! It rained last night, abso...

16/09/12 I'll start this off by saying that Sydney is booked for Christmas and New Year! Not cheap either! At a whopping $199 p/n on the 30th & 31st December, probably the 2 nights I won't be there! But hey, it'll be worth it. The hostel I've booked was recommended to me, I don't know when, ages ago. I had a look on all the reputable websites with ratings and it's 90+% every time. The only downside anybody complained about was people coming in at all hours...

10/09/12 Wow. What can I say? I arrived to this luxury resort about an hour ago and it's amazing. The weather is overcast, but seeing as I've been to Port Douglas before and it was pretty much like this last time, I'd say it's normal.

I hope you're ready for a difficult ride... I can say that the past week for me hasn't been the most fun, and I warn you if you care for me, you may find yourself a little worried about me, but I promise you, keep reading, you'll know I'm okay. I'll just let you read and find out what I'm talking about... 06/09/12 Well happy birthday Grandad! (if you're reading this). Today is attempt #2 at completing a training day. I've read some articles and have a few ...

30/08/2012 Brisbane. I'm currently in a park on the waterfront in Newstead, 2 minute walk from my job interview at 15:00. It's 12:30. Well, it gives me 2.5hrs to write up about the first night in Brisbane then, doesn't it? I arrived yesterday at about 4pm, a casual 3hour bus ride which didn't phase me at all, I don't even think about how far that would be in the UK any more. Within 15minutes of my arrival, Thomas Ross was at the hostel door. This was nuts. A f...
