Crossroads

Seems that I'm bloggin only once a month while here in Walkamin.. ..just can't find that much to tell.. Lately I've been trying to save up some money and actually, since it's been few fairly busy weeks - been workin 45-60hrs - it's been helping my bank balance. Guess it's finally come to the point that I gotta make decisions where to head next. And when. And how.

Initially, my plan was to start headin west thru north-west coast but might be that I'm after all heading south, even thou I've never been that interested on east coast, don't ask me why. I still gotta decide few things, mainly concerning about my heavy vehicle licence, I might have chances to do it here in Mareeba or I might just do it in Brisbane. Why Brisbane, you might ask.. ..it's still Queensland where I need to do my licence test and it's a big metropolitan area which should have lot's of work opportunities. If I'll do my test here in Mareeba it might change things a bit but don't think it'll make a big difference. More or less likely I'll be heading to Brisbane at least for few weeks.

Next question would obviously be when. Basically, I'd still have to stay here for next 3,5wks until my 3months is full cause that's what I promised to my boss when I started. And we Finns tend to keep our promises.. It should be gettin busier and busier work-wise which would be extremely good opportunity to stay a bit longer but yet again, I have heard that next few weeks might be quieter and also, can't deny that I'd want to keep moving on, been here awhile already, 12th week in farm and 11th for my company.

How to travel, where-ever I'm headin..? Like said, I'd really like to do some travelin again, more or less likely this time by myself but I've also been thinkin of option workin as much as I can on my current visa and then apply for a tourist visa to do some 'proper' touring here in Australia. So, I might just take a bus/train to Brisbane or hire a camper for 2-3wks and enjoy being on the road again.

Decisions, decisions, how come it always has to be so hard.. I reckon my decisions are gettin clearer in the next few weeks, or at least they should become. So much depends also what I wanna do after Australia.. ..been thinkin of North America but won't even try to lie that I wouldn't wanna stay here for longer but that'll mean I'd have to get a sponsorship visa. Bloody hell, how come I have to be too old for 2nd year to my visa.. Sometimes life ain't fair..
