Still picking tomatos, though only for another week

Met a German Carpenter that worked on the picture of the ship I have on this site.

Should be on the west coast by October.

No more news to report

Well I've finally managed to get a job, picking tomatos around 60 kilometres outside Bowen. Staying in the middle of nowhere so should manage to save some money as there is nothing to spend it on. I already don't want to see a tomato again. It is the start of the season so I'm not working everyday at the moment. A few of us have come into Bowen on our day off. I think I'll do a month of Tomato picking and then carry on up to Cairns, as long as I can last that long.

Might be my last entry for a while, as the only thing I'll be seeing for a while is kangeroos, tomatos and the bush, not exactly thrilling. Oh and there is no phone signal where I'm staying and the internet is crap so I'm probably going to be out of touch for a while.

After arriving in Airlie Beach did the Whitsundays the day after.

The first day left at around 12, did some snorkelling in the afternoon , saw two turtles,had lunch, and then pulled up for the night.

The next morning went off to whitehaven beach which was gorgeous

,,,,

Spent a couple of hours at whitehaven and then went off to do some more snokelling. Saw lots of fish this time, though the water was freezing.

One more night on the boat, then up early, some people went for a snorkel, I didn't it was too cold. Went back to Airlie Beach by lunch time.
