Well the weather's calmed down a bit and I've eventually made it to Airlie Beach. I'm staying in Bushvilliage Backpackers which is a really friendly place. Chilling outside on a hammock when a really light tropical shower starts, just reminds me of how amazing this country is, I feel so relaxed and chilled.
The relaxed and chilled atmosphere soon gives way to party central as I go out round Airlie Beach with Fumiko whom I'm sharing a dorm with This is the first time I've been out properly since getting to Australia and it was really good. Glad I no longer have the urge to do it all the time anymore.
It'll be a while before I'm drinking rasberry vodka and dancing until 4 am again (well, we'll see).
