What the plan, Mate?

The plan is to stay in Australia for just over a year. I arrived on the 10th of May, 4 days before my 31st birthday. That's no coincidence, my visa was about to run out. The plan was to stay in Brisbane for the Aussie Winter. Appart from being the home of Cousins, Mark, Kim and Eden, Brissy has 300 days of sunshine a year and has a winter mean temperature of 19C. After working for a bit in Brissy, I plan to head up the coast on the Great White Backpacker trail to North Queensland and back. Once I'm fed up of hanging out with 18 year old eurotrash I will head down to Sydney, get a job again, live by the sea and surf every morning with my faithful sea turtle 'Shelly'. Once it starts to cool down again in May and I'm not allowed to work anymore I will head out to Northern Territory and West Australia. Hopefully I will make it home before Pommieland turns into freezing Winter tundra.
