Searching for Sand, Surf and Sun

Just a quick one to let everyone know where I am at. I finished my job at the Sydney Aquarium (could only work for 3 months due to visa restrictions) and I am enjoying 3 weeks traveling with my brother. I toured him around Sydney for a few days doing the usual tourist stuff including a personal, and in-depth, tour of the Sydney Aquarium. We have headed up the coast in search of sand, sun and surf (too much rain in Sydney) and are currently in Byron Bay, a chilled out surf town I visited 6 months ago. We will hit a few beach towns along the way north, doing some sailing on the Whitsundays (I had to do the sailing trip again because it was too much fun to do once) and chilling on tropical Magnetic Island.

Not too many exciting things to report in the last couple months. For those who don't know, the Rugby World Cup was held in Australia this year. It is VERY big for Aussies and the whole country stopped whenever there was a game on. The Romanian rugby team visited the Aquarium and offered me some free tix, so my friend and I got to see a really good game between Romania and Argentina. It was pretty exciting to be at a live rugby game. Our Canucks fans are nothing compared to Aussie rugby fans.

After being invited to a job assessment at Taronga Zoo for a zookeeping job I was asked back for a personal interview. I think all went well, but the only way I will get the job is if they sponsor me, which is quite unlikely. I will find out if I got the job in a couple weeks. If I do accept the job I will most likely stay longer than anticipated.

My bro and I have to catch a bus to Surfer's Paradise now. I hope all is well and I hope to hear from you all soon.
