Sweet Disposition

I'm sick of backpackers. They're so self righteous. Everything is a pissing contest. I'm over Australia and everything contained within it. It's over. Take me home. I surrender.

Banananananana farming innit

Back on the banana farm abeit a different one from last time and back on a bagging machine. The farm is a lot smaller than the last and the farmer is easier to get on with so doing a couple more months time seems a little easier.

Innisfail is better than Cardwell in many ways. We have a choice of supermarkets, fast food retailers and are only an hour from Cairns so we can spend our weekends diving although that wouldn't do too well for the bank balance. There's also an airfield nearby that we can sky dive from and we are located near one of the major rivers for white water rafting.

We're entering 'winter' here so we're expecting temperatures just above 25 degrees, the heatings on full and we have plenty of wood stock to see us through!

Up, Down, Left, Right

OK so we spent a few days job hunting in Melbourne and it looks like you need coffee making experience to work in the bars down there. No one is willing to provide this training or offer work experience. I would understand that Hannah can't score bar work having no experience but I've worked as an assistant manager surely I'd be gold dust??!?!?!

Therefore we've come back up to North Queensland and will be commencing work in Innisfail (about one hour South of Cairns) and this will most definately be on a banana farm, the one thing we have experience in!! We have flown to Cairns today and will depart for Innisfail tomorrow, good times :).

Melbers

We've landed in Melbourne to start the job and flat hunt (again!!). Had an awesome three days in Sydney and got to see most of the sites, Habour Bridge and Opera House were done as soon as possible. We were very fortunate to score a couple of tickets to go and see the Sydney Philamonia Choir perform a rendition of Beethoven's 9th in the main concert hall, we're still feeling smug about that one!

The weather here is definately a lot cooler than in Brisbane and we saw rain for the first time in months! We're going to stick it here for a few weeks and try and find some work, failing that it will be a return to the banana farms. :).

Diversion

A slight change in plans will she Hannah and myself spending a few days in Sydney before making our way over to Melbourne. We're meeting up with another friend from the farm (who was in Brisbane) and collectively making our way over to Melbourne to find some graft. Fingers crossed!
