So Good Afternoon/Morning/Evening bla bla



Since I last wrote, I moved to a town called Bowen which is about three hours south of Townsville. It's right by the Whitsunday Islands and it's pretty nice here....Bigger then Tully/Innisfail as well.....

Gonna be working on a farm...Ideally for a month (if I can make it)...I figure since I did a month in Bananas by the time I leave here it will only be one more month to go to extend my visa if I want to come back/stay etc. So today we did tomato pruning....It was just a two day job, and it wasn't so bad....just kinda tedious...but it was cool because it was all the girls in the hostel and so we just jokes and laughed about stupid stuff.
We kinda all got the axe today....It's a little mystery as to why....but this is what I reckon.................

During the beginning of our shift there was work for tomorrow, and the farmer wanted us to stay a little longer...Anyways after Smoko (Aussie for break)...All of us worked our little hearts out, pruning tomato plants. (A whole heap of these girls were taking a 'water break', for a bit.....)...I got to the end of the stake and the team and I decided we should get some water and such...(it was a very hot day)...So the three of us started walking down the row, and then a whole heap of other girls followed us as well...Eventually half of us were drinking water looking real lazy...which was the one time that the farmer drove by on his 4 by 4 wheeler and I guess presumed we were slacking off...At the end of the day he said there was no work tomorrow...ahh...oh well.........

Anyways Bowen is pretty sweet as. There are heaps of beaches in the area, and really nice lookout points....The townies are all pretty friendly too. The big deal in town is that a movie is being filmed across the street from my hostel. I think it's called Australia or something and it stars Nicole Kidman, and Hugh Jackman.....It's supposed to take place in the war time, so they imported all these cattle today and now there are cows everywhere.....It's a pretty immaculate set as well...They built this whole cattle ranch, with this hotel cavern thing....Anyways that's the story of that.........

SooOoo I don't really have any new news for the most part...I've made heaps of chick friends all of whom are really cool. I have loved travelling with my friends, however I'm real happy to be on my own now....I like just waking up and doing whatever I want, and I meet heaps more people when I'm on my own as well.....Good times....

Anyways I have an abundance of pictures to post the above are all from Magnetic Island...@ the Koala retreat we got to hold all sorts of cool animals/reptiles....Crocs/snakes/lizards/Koalas...etc....good times...Anyways I'll post a bunch more and then I'll be off
*mwah* bye
