So where have I been the past two months while I was missing in action? Melbourne to Perth to Albany to Brisbane and now Magnetic Island. If you look on a map of Australia the order of the locations I've travelled to is as orderly as a bouncy ball chucked at a wall and bouncing around the room. But that is life, we go into something with one plan (which was landing in Melbs and finding a job), and then suddenly everything is out the window.
Melbourne, Victoria
I was here for two weeks and on the days it wasn't raining (which was few) I was laying in the sun in the park. I kept hearing what a cool city it was but I didn't really appreciate it at the time because I was horribly bitter about coming from the sun and warmth of Bali, and all I wanted to do was go back.
Perth, Western Australia
Perth was a two day layover on my way to Albany. I only went to Kings Park which was massive, but I didn't find anything else too charming there. I've been told that I just wasn't in the right place and that there are some "epic" spots there.
Albany, Western Australia
If you venture off the main road, Albany during winter is like a ghost town. There are houses everywhere but you have no idea where the people are that occupy them. I was working for accomodation at a lovely place that felt more like a home than a hostel. You definitely need a car here though to go see anything.
Brisbane, Queensland
I've heard a lot of people say they don't like Brisbane but I actually liked it. Granted I barely ventured out of the CBD (Central Business District), but the overall vibe of people was very relaxed which I liked.
Magnetic Island, Queensland
Where I am now! I've only been here a couple of days so far, but I can't say the view is bad to wake up to. I'll be here for another week until heading back to Brisbane again. For now I have this pup CC to keep me company.
