I'm down to a couple days left in Oz. been bouncing around among the backpacker hostels, to get a feel for the different personalities that congregate around each one. The YHA was friendly, but a bunch of noisy party kids. Another was dead quiet, no interaction going on between guests. Seems the general rule should be that if you stay at a backpackers hostel, you should be a bit outgoing, friendly even, and willing to initiate conversation with folks.
Tried to track down the rafting companies yesterday, but, of course being Sunday, no one was in the office to discuss future employment. However, with backpackers luck, I walked past a van for one of the companies, asked for a ride back to town, and proceeded to finangle a ride up to the river to chat with the guides and check out their operation. Again, nice to get to the hills, nature - the forests, and rainforest, cover this northern tip of Queensland. Intend to do more rafting tomorrow, on the Tully River, considered Australia's best whitewater ride. More on that afterwards.
Cheers.
