I arrive at Rainbow beach absolutely buzzing from the Fraser Island trip and adamant I am going back there. Rainbow beach is a really small place with beautiful beaches and a really relaxed, chilled out atmosphere.
I'm staying at Pippies Beachhouse, which is a lovely, laid back hostel. I'm starting to freak out about my money situation and decide to ask if there's work available. There is and hey presto, I'm the new receptionist. I have to work every day, but I get accommodation, breakfast and a small wage. I plan to stay for around three weeks.
It's really interesting to meet loads of different people. It can't be hard work at times though. The staff are really friendly and I feel welcome in no time.
