Well, I think I worked out my distress and why I was feeling a bit lost. I think I was exhausted from Port Douglas, I was projecting old exh feelings onto the situation with Joe when really the two situations are compleatly different and I realised I was not doing what I intended to be doing in Oz.
So, I have drawn $400 on my credit card (which work owes me anyway so I will get back) and have booked a trip down the south west coast. I will live very frugally but give myself a break from work and just relax for a while. I realised that I had been working really hard since I got here and not had a break and my body and mind was strongly telling me that I need one. So tomorrow I am going to start heading down to the Margaret River region and then down through the southern forest and across to Esperance then up to a gold minig town and then decide what to do from there. I estimate all this will take me about a month or so and I may have to do a bit of fruit picking along the way.
I feel much clearer headed and excited to finally be doing a bit of exploring. So exciting! I am still full of cold but I am so much less stressed and in so much of a better place. I'll keep up my travel update
