I can't believe it's been 6 months since I last wrote in this blog; the time has gone soo fast! Now Christmas is approaching I am currently in Cairns (north Australia). Since starting my journey in Sydney I have visited numerous towns, met loads of fabulous people, seen a symphony at the opera house, visited numerous zoos, discovered beautiful beaches, tried eating kangaroo, seen deadly spiders, caught a taipan, held a koala, seen a shark, ridden on the amazing Scooter Roo tour, gone whale watching, seen dolphins, and even held a salt water crocodile! I can safely say I am having the time of my life!

Not forgetting art side of things, I held a market pitch at the Cairns craft fair on a Saturday air-brushing paintings of planets, animals and sunsets. This is something i'd been wanting to try since seeing street artists in Brisbane. Considering this was just my 2nd try I received great feedback from everyone and sold a decent number of paintings, I was completely covered in paint by the end of the day but it was worth it. I also designed someone a dragon tattoo and painted two giant watermelon signs for the farm I worked on in Mareeba. After completing 2 months of seasonal work (and saving up some dosh) I've booked a flight to New Zealand and will be flying on the 3rd landing in Auckland where a friend and I will be hiring a campervan to travel round the north and south islands, eventually ending up in Christchurch. I can't wait!
