Townsville...

Townsville...it is a quiet place compared to Sydney (obv) and believe it or not Cairns too. The fact that our hostel in Sydney was on top of a night club, and the one in Cairns just partied at night (I loved the both however), is a bit different from the Foreign Exchange "hostel" we are staying in now...very posh. Anyway, there does seem to be more jobs going here, even if the place is quieter...the town is anyway. However, even though I have lost count of the number of jobs I have applied for, going from manager training positions to night shift stockers, no one wants to seem to give me a job :(... I did have an interview on fri, and unless the dude calls me today, gotta give him a call tomorrow. Fingers crossed he says, "Yea, we can give you a few hours a week"...would be great, because not working is kind of depressing. I also need to save to do the Whitsundays and Fraser Island...Whitsundays being done in the next stop...Might also stop for a little while in Bowen and do some fruit picking. Cannot backpack Australia and say you didn't fruit pick...just for the experience :)... Not having a job however has allowed me to go and explore different areas, and thus, even when wearing spf30+, get my self a nice red tan...and in weird patterns in some places... :P

Anyway, this is just like a short update, not very exciting, so I will stick a few pics on the end :P
