Bowen

After chilling out with the girls in Airlie, and celebrating Independance day with Angela (the American), I took off to Bowen, about an hour north of Airlie. It is mainly a farming town, and there is pretty much no tourist developments here. A nice change from the typical situation. The first couple days I didn't work, though I checked in at a working hostel, Reefers. On my third day here, a fellow came through the hostel looking for workers for a construction project out at Rose Bay, on the east side of town. Great job, and good boss, and better yet, 15$ an hour, cash in hand. In other news, the Reefers hostel played against the Backpackers hostel in football yesterday at the park, and many stayed up late to watch the World Cup final between France and Italy. The day before yesterday (today being Monday the 10th) I went into town to meet Jason who is staying at Backpackers, and unfortunately I got kicked out because they don't allow visitors after 9. Oh well. Not much to write about, just working and getting pumped for my dive course in 9 days...
