Electricity

So it's been a while since my last post, not because I'm having too much fun and I can't be bothered to post NO but we are lacking enough charge on our phones and any other electrically charged good. I wrote a very long and detailed post two nights ago but my iPad died and I lost everything. Since my last post we have been to many places and seen many interesting people and sights.
Tomorrow will be a week that we have been on the road and travelled over 2000 kilometres. It seems so much longer than a week but the highlights have been, visiting the Koala hospital where ill or injured Koala's are looked after,swimming in the never never creek, celebrating Ben's birthday in Byron Bay and standing on the most eastern point of mainland Australia, visiting the Nimbin museum, sleeping at a free campsite that had a no tent sign 2meters away from our tent, flat tyre and help of a drunk Australian guy and to top it all off sleeping in a caravan park last night that had no kitchen and a very sick guest who was throwing up all night and asked me for a cuddle.
What can I say it's been a week but every second of it has meant something and we have laughed off many of the incidents.
The reason we are traveling up the east coast at such speed is that on Tuesday we contacted a farm and we have been told that there is a job for us. The only thing was that we were 1900 kilometres away from the city, the lady from the agency who organises work for backpackers at a cost told us to get ourselves there by Wednesday night. A little impossible but we were very desperate for work so we agreed, little did we know that the highway between Brisbane and Cairns is more like a dual carriageway than a motorway and the Australians have beaten us at the road works competition. This meant we were running 2/3 hours behind schedule until we noticed the flat tyre when pulling out of KFC car park. This was the icing on the cake, at this point we were all very tired especially Davy who had been driving all morning so I decided to call the agency and tell them the situation. No answer on the other end meant I had to call the hostel we will be staying at to inform the guy of our late arrival time but he just turned around and said "don't worry about it, you don't start work until Monday anyway, just get here by Saturday". So right now at this moment in time we are not sure when we will start work or if we have a job but we are making the most of this drive and heading towards Airlie beach where there are many ferries taking you to Whitsunday Islands. It's very pricy but we will see what happens once we get there otherwise we have to make the island visit after we have worked and saved enough money. Here are some photos of the past few days.
