Surfers

This place is insane! I believe this is what Miami would look like, auzz style. The tall high rise apartments everywhere, the insane downtown core bustling with people. Everything is new, hot, busy, and beachy.
I met up with Mandy again, she got a job at a local pub in the district of Main Beach, kind of like a Stony Plain or Sherwood Park. She also has been working as a telemarketer selling lottery tickets.
We are camping in the middle of town for now, but we found some auzz college girls needing some roomates, and it's looking like we can move in soon. It's in a condo complex, first floor, directly in front of the swimming pool, and a five minute walk from the beach. And best part is it is dirt cheap! Mandy will stay and work for a few months, I will stay for the next two weeks and then head north of Brisbane to a small town called Woodford. Mike and I will volunteer, setting up street lights for the Woodfork Folk festival. We work for 7 days, and in exchange we get free entry (the tix are $400!) free camping, and free food. The festival runs Dec 27th - Jan 2nd, and has attendance in the 50 000 mark...should be an interesting new years.
