So as a casual tourist I now find myself on the Gold Coast in the middle of Schoolies week - doh! If you are not 17 then you are officially a toolie and not a schoolie. I’m 19 years to late for all this malarky.
Hopefully avoiding the beaches for the next few days and hitting the “Worlds” (Movie World, Sea World etc).
I’m loving everything I see in Queensland, but can’t wait to get back to Sydney - I’m ready to start home building and networking. Oz is already feeling like home (can’t believe how quick that happened) - but I’m eager to put down some roots soon.
Cheers, M
OK - so we have arrived in Oz and all has been a bit mad for the last two weeks (buying cars, getting phones, registering with schools, discovering spiders that kill you, etc). We are now on holiday on the Sunshine coast for a few days and the weather is not exactly playing ball. There have been massive storms and we are now just at the tail end of it. I don;t think there is anything to do here when the weather is crap so we will just hang out, eat, drink, go for a run and generally chill out.
My amazing wife earned us an upgrade after our first hotel was looking onto a construction site - she shouted loudly for around 3 hours and finally got us moved to the Element in Coolum Beach - without doubt THE coolest apartment I have ever been in. I want to live in it. At least when the weather is crap we can enjoy the inside of the apartment. I have also discovered low carb beer that tastes great so I’ll work my way through that as well.
Cheers for now, Mark
