Last day in Mooloolaba
Day 27
2pm
The guy from Bambooland replied to my email. I can go there tomorrow to start volunteering! I work 5 hours a day Mon - Fri in exchange for accommodation and food.
At the moment I am by a rugby pitch with the Englands Womens Rugby team. Nathan had just got the (unpaid) job to drive them around to their practice sessions and matches so I have tagged along for the day.
Last night I talked to Denise (the lady who owns the house I'm staying at) for ages. She's originally from New Zealand so was telling me all the places I should go to, it sounds fab! She is lovely and it's so nice I could stay there for a few days.
LATER
Ok so I spent the evening at Nathan's parents house. They're so nice. I had a proper dinner and watched Australian idol (Nathan was driving the Russian's Women's Rugby team around for the evening). Afterwards I went to Denise's house, but Nathan went really moody with me before he left. I think he saw the 'couchsurfing.org' site as more of a dating site than what it actually is, which is definately not a dating site! He asked if he could stay the night too, and when I said no he said there was something wrong with me and he couldn't understand why I did not find him attractive.
Anyway glad to be going somewhere new and starting some volunteering. Bring on the Bamboo!

Day 25 Massages
1st November 2008
3 hours of massages
Day 25
In Coolum today, near to Mooloolaba. Nathan has a massage course this weekend and they need people to massage. I'm here!
Had 3 one hour massages from two women and one (hot) guy. It was fab and I was so chilled out after.
I think I'm going to leave Mooloolaba soon. Nathan is nice and all but he is trying to bit a little too friendly, if you get my drift. Have been emailing a person up near to Maryborough (North of Mooloolaba and near where Fraser Island is). They need people to work on a farm up there, the WWOOFing thing. If I work 5 hours a day I can get accommodation and meals in return so am going to give that a go hopefully. Should be there by Tuesday. Just waiting for an email to say it's all ok then off I go!
It means I will be there for my birthday too! I was gonna try go to this place a little later and spend my birthday in a hostel somewhere with a bit of a party scene, but I am trying to fit it all in - travelling, volunteering, sight seeing, etc so if I have the chance to go to this farm on Tuesday I'll do that. If not, I'll go to a hostel.

Day 24 Happy Halloween Kids!
31st October 2008
Happy Halloween!
Day 24
I am a bumble bee. Nathan and his sister (who is a professional circus performer and got the costumes) are a priest and jester. What a trio!

Every year Nathan and his sister Tanya run a kids disco in Mooloolaba. I went along to be the DJ (i.e. pressing pause and play when the games were being played - a very important role).
It's all quite random, what's going on at the moment.
Day 23 Kawana
30th October 2008
Chilling in Kawana
Day 23
Wow it was so good to have a room to myself last night with no Germans chatting/Swedish girl snoring/Korean girl clicking on her laptop all night playing Solitaire (click, click). Denise, the lady who owns the house, is so nice! Her kids are great too. No one was in after 9am so I got up and had breakfast and watched morning tv. It was so good!
Walked to the bus stop. Saw a dead snake on the way. The bus driver seemed amused when I asked where he thought I should go. I have no plans for today. He suggested Kawana Shopping World, so I went there for the day.
It's lovely here.

Day 22 Couchsurfing outta here
29th October 2008
Couchsurfing out of Brisbane!
Day 22
That's it - I'm leaving Brisbane! A guy from the Couchsurfing site emailed me. He lives on the Sunshine Coast and has a spare room so I'm going there. It's 2.5 hours away in a place called Mooloolaba. I'm looking forward to having my own room for a few days. The Swedish girl in my room was snoring all night. It did my head in.
Later...
Wow I love it here. Nathan picked me up in his car and we went for fish and chips. He has 3 homes for some reason. I am staying in a house with a lady called Denise and her family. She is lovely, but it's quite bizarre - the whole situation that is.
It's so nice here. Went for a walk along the beach and Nathan told me about how he used to be in a band and worked with Moby, and played guitar on stage with Oasis, and was Steve Urwin's body guard one day, and has kissed an actress called Sophie Monk and Australia Zoo stole his marketing ideas that he used to use for his band. He also mentioned that he used to be a compulsive liar. Hmmm...
