Burns, bites and wallabies

Am going crazy from the itching bites all over my body. Insect repellent doesn't seem to help much against evil bugs. And creams against the itchiness won't help for long. Argh! Trying to help the bites dissapear faster by using some sticky aloe vera. Also using it on a burn I got from the over a few days ago. Not pretty.
Today we went to a farm where they take care of parentless wild animals. And I got to hold a baby wallaby! So cute! I wonder if I could take one home with me?

Wwoofing

Hello everybody! It's been a while and much has happened since the last time I posted something. Right now I'm in Town of 1770, a small town with fewer people living in it than the numbers in its name. Am currently wwoofing at the 1770 Southern Cross Tourist Retreat, a small hostel that runs on rainwater and with only 10 rooms. Since I haven't had any plans for Christmas I thought it would be nice to stay at one place for a while and get to know people and then spend the holidays with them. I do some gardening and cleaning in exchange for free food and accommodation. Not a bad deal! The only thing I don't like is driving the shuttle bus into town and back, but I guess it's good that I get used to driving again.

Before Town of 1770 I spent 3 days on the world's biggest sand island, Fraser Island. It was a bumpy ride around the island together with a bunch of other passengers and a crazy tour guide. Was intense but fun. Got to see a sting ray and a dingo! Really want to upload some pictures but again it's not working. Might be possible to do it at the library, I will check it out tomorrow.

So long!

Rainbow Beach

Left Noosa yesterday for Rainbow beach, a gateway to Fraser Island. The hostel is acceptable, but I'm staying in a seven bed dorm with 6 guys which means the room isn't very clean. There is sand everywhere and in the bathroom it's mixed with water so your feet is always dirtier when leaving the shower than they were before. Of course girls can be messy too but I have a feeling it would be slightly better if I stayed in a female dorm. Then there's the minimal kitchen. Only one stove with 3 working hotplates, two pots for cooking your pasta in and no space to move around. Wondering if I should stay an extra night after coming back from Fraser but I don't really feel like it. Not sure where I'm off to next though. I have to book a trip with greyhound too, I don't know if I'll have the time to do it on Friday when i get back. And hostels fill up quickly during the weekend. Tough decision!
No devices allowed in the hostel computers so I can't upload any pics either :(
