Change of plans

I was supposed to go camping on Moreton Island this week, but it’s been raining for a while now and was pouring down when I was supposed to catch the barge. Plus Phil heard on the radio that there was severe weather warning for the South East coast of Queensland and Brent couldn’t even see Moreton Island on a weather radar online. The last thing I wanted to do was get on the island when it was pouring down, having to set up camp, getting all my stuff wet and then staying for another 4 nights with a whole bunch of soaked stuff. Plus there’s no cover since you’re camping on the beach and the sand would just be mud. So I decided to postpone the camping trip for a few weeks. I’m now planning on going on the second weekend of May because then Phil could come with me.

My new plan is to leave for Cairns tomorrow and do that bus trip I had planned earlier. I’m going to try to get back by April 30th because that’s when my friend Pilley is coming back to New Castle on the East Coast for a week and I’m planning on going to see him while he’s there.

So if everything goes as planned, I’ll be gone up North till the end of April then gone to New Castle till the beginning of May, just before my second attempt to go camping on Moreton Island with Phil on the second weekend of May. Then I might look into finding work for a few months.
