Day 21
WTF.
Bad day haha.
Called Tom again this morning. "sorry mate, raining again, give me a shout tomorrow"
Justin's job had finished, and I was tired of getting the run around, so we decided to cut our losses and leave the city.
Not only had I not made ANY money (Tom didn't have cash on him the day I did work for him), but I had lost money eating, staying in hostels, driving to Mount Nebo etc.
Icing on the cake, Justin and I forgot to register the Jackaroo within 14 days of buying it and we are in for huge late fees!
We got to the RTA office only to find out that because we are in a different state than we bought the truck in (bought it in New South Wales, Brisbane is in Queensland) we would need to start all over with certification, Queensland plates, the whole works.
BRAINSTORM! Let's drive back to the border, register the truck in the first small town in NSW, and continue on our journey!
It actually worked out, we had skipped a town called Twead Heads on the way up, and it was really nice to see. The lady at the RTA office even waved the late fee!
Thankfully we hadn't driven too far out of state, so we hit the road again, gave Brisbane the finger heading North, and landed in a town called Noosa Heads.
Signed up for surf lessons for the following morning and slept in a park.
