I know it has been a while, and I don't really have much time. A long story short a month ago we left the pearling boats for good, after a very interesting harvest. We did a trip to Litchfield National Park and then down the Gibb River Road in the Kimberly. It was filled with kangaroos, wallabies, goanas and DINGOES!!! Then we went to Kakadu and Katherine Gorge for a week before heading off to Townsville. I'll upload pictures soon, which will illustrate just how amazing it was.
I have now been in Townsville for 2 weeks. I am working for crap wage at a restaurant until some office work turns up. Townsville is great 25 degrees C (77 F) in the middle of winter. We got a 2 bedroom apt for 160/wk that is 2 mnutes walk to the beach. It is a lovely little city, with nice beaches, great diving and a great outdoor culture (also there are always fairs and festivals to entertain me for free on my little time off). So things are great. In september we will hopefully be sailing around the whitsundays helping to crew a boat and starting our course in reef conservation through Reef Check australia.
More details soon!
