Okay, I've finally gotten around to updating the galleries with all the pictures from my trip between Brisbane (including new Brisbane ones) and Cairns. There's about eight new galleries! So now you can at least get an idea about what I'm getting excited ... Read more >

I've spent a good proportion of the past few weeks doing sweet potato related work. Picking them, planting them, cutting vines to plant, rescuing caterpillars, fixing irrigation pipes, driving tractors around - you name it. Today I was mostly weeding ... Read more >

Having picked tomatos for a couple of weeks, I changed jobs on Tuesday. I am now working on a sweet potato farm further out from town. It's much smaller than the tomato farm,with a work force of just four backpackers plus the couple who own the farm ... Read more >

There is really only one reason backpackers go to Bundaberg: work. It is pretty much the fruit picking capital of Australia. I arrived at the transit centre about 5pm and was picked up by the hostel. I mentioned I was looking for work and was told ... Read more >

As usual, the comfortable and efficient Greyhound bus took me on to the next leg of my journey: Rainbow Beach. This really is a very small town, apparently of little more than a thousand residents but boosted by the steady stream of tourists. The place ... Read more >

Let the regaling begin! Noosa is a small, laid-back coastal town. It's somewhat like Byron Bay except without the strong hippy influence. The hostel that I stayed in - Dolphins Beachhouse - is in a quiet area of an already quiet town, near to the ... Read more >

I don't have a great deal to report, as last week most mostly given over to exploring in a similar way to previous weeks. I did make it out to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, which was quite good fun. Some of the birds of prey were put through their paces ... Read more >

I am always surprised when I come to write in this journal that it's been so long since the last update. More proof, if any were needed, that time really does fly when you're having fun. I've been in Brisbane for nearly two weeks now. I was somewhat ... Read more >

I've been out on the road a little over three months now, I can hardly believe it. About half that time was spent in Byron Bay. I've moved on now but I'll always remember the place with fondness. Who knows? I might even return one day... My last couple ... Read more >

Wow, I can't believe I've been here for over a month now. I'm still taking it pretty easy and spending a lot of time hanging out in hammocks, swimming, walking on the beach, or some other equally taxing activity. So what exciting adventures can I tell ... Read more >
