Queensland
Long time no news from me…sorry for that!
I left Melbourne over a week ago and used my free greyhound bus ticket (which I won through some Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games Backpacker site) to go via Coffsharbour to Brisbane. During my one day stopover in Coffs I asked around the marina for ships heading for the pacific, but no luck. I left a “Crew Available” note in the laundry and continued to Brisbane where I first went to Scarborough marina in the north.
No luck there either. Spent 3 days exploring the area and hanging around the marina before I took a bus and trains to Manly in Brisbane’s south. At the four marinas there I still didn’t come across a boat that could take me to the Pacific Islands. Left notes and after two days there I hurried down to Coolangatta (Goldcoast) Airport to pick up Amanda, who arrived last friday and ment to visit her friend Carly in Coomera. That unfortunately didn’t work out, due to a family tragedy with Carly the night before Amanda’s early morning flight.
Since then we have been travelling around the Goldcoast. I received 2 calls from boat owners, nothing has worked out yet, though
