Hello friends and family and others. Time for a bit of updating. When I finished my last tale, I believe I was just about to start working. I've now been at Telstra for three weeks, and it is very, very easy and very dull. Which is the kind of job I like, really (except for the part about it being dull, but I can like with that). Basically, I just take down messages for businesspeople hundreds and hundreds of times a day. Then I press a button to send the message...

Yeah, new update time! I'm sure, like me, you're all giddy with excitement. So, I believe I had just arrived in Brisbane when I last updated. Well, I'm still in Brisbane. Which is fine by me, because I like it here (and also, I probably couldn't really afford to move anywhere else). I haven't been up to a great deal in the last few weeks, but I guess the main occupier of my time has been job-hunting. Before I came to Brisbane I'd only worked about 8 days in four ...

Hello everyone. I've been a bit lazy in the last few weeks and have neglected to update. Have no fear, because soon you'll be right up to date. OK, when I last left you, I'd spent a day in Cairns.

I think this is because I have no waiter/bar experience, and seeing as the only b...

OK, I shall now get completely up to date by telling you all about my trip from Alice to Cairns. I wasn't expecting too much of the trip, given that we had to drive about 2300 km in 3 days on a big bus, but I figured it would be better than flying or getting the Greyhound, and for the same price. Turns out I was pretty much right. I left Alice at about 6am (the early starts were beginning to take their toll by now) along with the other 24 people on the bus. The f...

Time for Uluru! First thing I discovered was that my trip had been upgraded because only about two people had booked through my company (out of a maximum capacity of 24) so I went with a different company with only 9 people. As far as I can tell, it was exactly the same tour but with less people. And I paid $160 less than everyone else. Haha! I didn't rub it in though, that kind of behaviour is never likely to win me any friends. The morning was spent driving all...
