Day 30... must have missed a few days somewhere...

So how is this for a scenario...
My friend Dave from Australia, Mic from Ireland, Miguel from Mexico and I were playing tennis under the lights last night.
Miguel fires a ball over the fence.
One of the two large dingos that were watching us play ran over, grabbed the ball and started playing with it.
We played paper scissor rock, Dave lost, so he had to go get the ball back while the three of us yelled at the dingo.
A great moment.
What else...
The manager of the resort told me to shave my beard, I told him that wasn't an option. He was cool with that.
This guy at the shop came in today and asked me what part of America I was from. "The Canadian part" I said.
We both had a good chuckle, but then I stared at him straight faced until it got weird and he left the store.
I'm training a new girl tomorrow, Nicky from Holland. Gorgeous.
I think I'm going to cool it on the Blogaroo for a while. Work work work.
End transmission.

Day 27
Andy 1 Justin 0
Justin ripped on me the entire day yesterday because he scored the better job.
I went in to work today, mentally prepared to wash dishes in a hot kitchen for 10-12 hours. Before even stepping into the kitchen, I got promoted to work at the general store in town.
I work 10 days on, 4 days off, 10 hour days, 8-6.
Justin works a lame shift, 10-2 and then 5-9ish.
Luckily I'm working with my friend Devon from Vancouver, she keeps me entertained when the store gets slow.
After work, everyone heads to the bar and spends all the money they earned that day.
Working the cash register is great. There are no one cent pieces in Australia, so everything is rounded. There are no quarters, but 20 and 50 cent pieces.
Internet about to run out. That is all.
Andy out.

Day 26
Score!
Justin and I were both able to score jobs here at the Eurong Beach resort on Fraser (not Frasier) island!
Justin is going to start in the bakery, and I am going to be washing dishes.
The 'town' is one sandy road perpendicular to the beach, about 100 meters long. Everything revolves around the resort which employs about 40 people.
I'm not looking forward to the work, but it's really great to relax, actually meet people and get on some sort of a schedule. The ol' bank account will thank me too.
Our jobs include accomodation, 3 meals a day, use of all the facilities and pays fairly well.
It looks like we will be here through Christmas and New Years.
Justin, myself, and two ladies - Devon and Lonnie- went for a late night beach walk. There is phosphorous in the sand here, and when you kick it the sand glows green. No juicy stories, sorry.
You can't swim in the ocean on this beach, it is riddled with sharks.
You can't throw knives at my dartboard, it's riddled with darts.

Day 25
The sun rises here at about 4:30 am...
Well we should have listened to warnings about the tide.
We travelled today at all the wrong times, the Jackaroo almost became the first Australian submarine.
Spent the day at Lake McKenzie, this incredible little freshwater lake.
White sands, crystal clear water, beautiful things on the beach, it had it all.
Headed to a rock face called Indian Head, overlooking the ocean. Not much to say about it, wait til you see the pictures.
On our way through this small town called Eurong (No, YOU'RE wrong) Justin and I asked at the resort if there was any work for two handsome Canadian travellers.
"MAYBE!" we were told.
They offered us a cabin to stay in for the night, we find out tomorrow morning if there is any work for us.
We hung out at the bar and played foosball.

Day 24!
"Jackaroo, you've done it again!"
We loaded ol' Jackarooski onto a huge barge and cruised over to Frasier Island.
The island is 4 wheel drive vehicles only, there are no roads.
The east beach (75 mile beach) is the 'highway'.
Some of the nastiest off roading trails I have ever seen, and old Jacky has so far been up to the challenge.
We actually pulled this German family out of the sand when they got their truck stuck.
Justin has yelled "Jackaroo, you've done it again!" about 300 times so far today.
Very scenic, there are rainforests, freshwater lakes, red sand dunes, it's a weird but fastinating place.
We found a protective dune to park behind and set up camp.
Justin slept in the truck, I had a picture perfect hammock spot picked out, but got violently rained on at 2:30 in the morning.

Day 23?
Woke up in a state.
Justin and I drove to Rainbow beach, the access point for Frasier Island- our next destination.
We rented a couple Harleys and cruised around town for a few hours.
We sorted out all of our permits and paperwork to stay on the island.
Hung out around a hostel, played basketball, Justin met a nice German guy.
We are headed to Frasier Island, the world's largest sand Island.
It's about 100 kilometers from tip to tip.
We waited until dark to figure out where to sleep- bad idea.
I was laying in a spider forest on hard mud. Miserable night.
Tomorrow we'll take a barge over to the island to explore Frasier.
