Mission Beach

So we are currently in Paradise.
Mission Beach is where the rainfrest meets the Reef - 14km of sand and palm trees, and it's pretty spectacular. Our new friends Perri and Richard are WWOOFing (working for free in exchange for accommodation and food) at The Sanctuary which is a super nice yoga retreat up a hill surrounded by beautiful veiws and confused looking Cassowaries (google it, they look like ostriches crossed with giant turkeys). We managed to blag a place there to start work on Wednesday for two weeks so that will be a nice chance to save some money and chill out for a while. After that, we found a hostel where they send you to work on a banana farm during the week but they charge you $200 for the privelege. Take home pay is $400 after that though so we are considering it for after 2 weeks WOOFing.
We're in croc territory currently, as well as stinger and shark infested waters, so we're being slightly more careful about where we camp.
We've also been trying to be a bit more social and meeting new people. This morning I saw a french girl trimming her boyfriends armpit hair whilst making monkey noises at him. The french really are the most romantic people I've ever met. Also - Barbara cut my hair and it looks pretty good - I cut Barbaras hair and she got really upset until the next day when she decided it was ok.
