Time to come home

Well I'm now back in Sydney. I started the trip here and now inevitably I must finish the trip here. It feels a bit weird that it is all coming to an end. This traveling thing and living out of a bag has become my life for the last six months and I think it will be a bit of an adjustment when I come back home to my own room and all the regularities of home life.

Last time I posted I was living it up with Kels and Wyatt with me going up the east coast. We did that whitsunday sailing trip that i talked about and it was so amazing! Without doubt one of the best parts of my whole trip and having Kelsey and Wyatt there to share it with was nice as well. After that we went up the coast and actually went to a real aussie outback ranch. It was a beef cattle ranch and there are a lot of those in the outback of australia because it is basically a desert and nothing else can survive there. haha. I'm not sure how big that one was but talking to others I found out that the largest ranch in Australia is in South Australia and it is 13.8 Million acres!! That is insane. But it was good fun to see outback australia a little. THen we went to Mission Beach Where we all did a skydive from 14000 ft. WHat an adrenaline rush that was, so much fun. Then it was our last stop together in Cairns where we went snorkeling and scuba diving on the great barrier reef, which was also really really good. The colour in the corals in pretty spectacular. After that Kelsey and wyatt had to go home and i continued on upward to Cape Tribulation which is northern part of Australia where they have the Daintree Rainforest. I spent a few days up there walking through the rainforests and spotting crocs in the wild! I came back to cairns for one night and then took the greyhound bus to Alice Springs where I did a three day tour of Uluru or Ayers Rock. It is the largest rock in the world and it is the middle of the Australian outback. It was pretty cool to see and the aboriginal history behind it was interesting as well. I finished that and then flew back here to Sydney, where it all began.

I am doing one last tourist thing tomorrow when I go to the Blue Mountains which is a day trip out there to see the mountains and waterfalls and stuff. Other than that I am sorting out all my bank accounts and tax to be ready to leave the country. It does seem crazy that it is almost over. Thanks to everyone who thought about me, prayed for me, kept in contact and messaged me, and to all those who kept up with my blog. I know I didn't always have news and it took a while for me to get to putting up new posts. But I am home soon and you can tell me what you thought of it when you see me. haha. Thanks again to kelsey and wyatt for taking there time and money to come see me, we had a kick ass time. And trust me its better this way! ha.

Until I see you all in person, stay safe and enjoy the summer.

Cheers

It's been a while!

Wow it's been a while since I've written on here. I won't get into a lot of detail because that would take a long time to cover everything. Basically after my trip to Tasmania for a week I flew to Adelaide looking for work. It took me about to weeks to find some work but in the end I got a bit. I was working weekend night shifts at Hungry Jacks. haha. Hungry Jacks is what they call burger king over here, so needless to say it wasn't the highest paying job, but it was actually pretty fun. A good experience anyway. haha. During the weekdays I was working a sales job. For the first two weeks I worked as a salesperson in events. Basically my job was to stop people walking through the malls and attempt to sign them up to a charity for heart disease. It was good money if you were good at it and I was ok. But it was kind of repetitive after a while. Anyway after two weeks I switched over to telemarketing and did that for the rest of my time in adelaide. So now looking back on my jobs in Australia i've got quite the additions to my resume. ahaha. Fast food, telemarketing, door to door sales, and salesperson in a mall. ha, what joke. But that was sweet when i got to work for acdc concert back in brisbane!

Anyway after i finished working in Adelaide for 4 weeks and had been there for 6 weeks total I was pumped to get to leave and start travelling again. And now I was going to start doing it with Kelsey and Wyatt because I flew to Brisbane and met them there a couple days later. It was pretty exciting to see them. Very cool that they would spend all that money and fly out to see me and travel with me. Since then we have been travelling together for about 2 weeks and it has been soo much fun! We are travelling north up the east coast and this is like the main backpacker area with tons of fun things to do along the way. We have done a 3 day trip to fraser island, which is the largest all sand island in the world and we camped in tents and drove around checking out all the lakes on the island and it was with a group of about 16 of us and it was so much fun with all of those people! We have been snorkelling, and chilled out on some of the most beautiful beaches i've ever seen. We are now in Arlie Beach and about to do one of the things i have been most excited for this whole trip. Tomorrow we leave to do the whitsunday sailing trip. It is 2 days on a sail boat with some stop offs for snorkelling along the Great Barrier Reef and its all in this group of 74 little Islands. We are all so pumped to do it!! It will be so good, especially if we get the weather that we have been getting lately. Perfect cloudless days that are like a perfect 25 degrees. So Good!

But ya that is the sum up of my last 2 months haha. Sorry to all those who keep checking this and find nothing new. If I get the time I will also try to put some pics up on facebook. Cheers mates!! O and kels and wyatt say hi as well. Later
