So, we've been away for nearly a month now - the time seems to be flying, hence the lack of updates - everyone should be on Facebook any way - its Law!
So far, since being in Byron - which, for both of us, felt more like a home away from home than anywhere we've been so far, we made great friends had a lovely hostel and generally hit the beach as often as we could. The weather has been AMAZING, in fact, we've been complaining about the heat already and its not even Christmas... Oh dear! The great thing about a town like Byron is that you end up being one of the "town" we'd walk to Woolworths (the local Tescos as it were)and see 10 of our friends, its a really nice change from being in a city like Sydney where you're just another body walking around.
The days have flown by and we've been waking up, getting our "swimmers" on and hitting the beach everyday, then we'd get back to the hostel and either go out to the Beach Hotel - similar to The Alex but less posh, or stay in and chill with Sinead and Melle (roomies)
The main event that took place whilst in Byron, was the walk to the lighthouse to watch the Sunrise, so, Tuesday at 3am the alarm was ringing... Frankie, Sinead and Myself struggled out of bed to begin the hour or so hike to watch it.
Along the way, we noticed that it seemed to be getting darker and darker and without Sineads torch we would have been pretty much walking on each other - needless to say we were totally scared - 3 girls, pitch black, one torch - and Frankie saying " Do you think theres such a thing as the Lighthouse Murderer, who kills his victims on their walks to the sunrise!!" It was a fun walk, lets put it that way.. and only took 50 mins in the end, probably due to the fact spent most of the time running due to fear!
Watching the sunrise was amazing and we both called home whilst we were up there - it was a great memory and so worth being a tad tired for.
Since Tuesday we've been at the beach again and made the choice to go to Brisbane in search of jobs - let the hunt begin!!!
This is our second day in Brisby - again the general feel is "city" but we haven't had much of a chance to look around - we went into the town yesterday to do a bit of shopping - hey, girls have got needs!! - and ended up with the opportunity to move into an Apartment with some people, and maybe have jobs too - we'll keep you posted on any news (promise)
