My Christmas I celebrated under a Palm tree in the shining sun by a Barbie and on December 28, I flew back down to Sydney for watching the New Year Eve with my bedbugs friend.
When one should have made in the life, then to have witnessed the New Year Eve fire in the Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney.
You can sign up “airbnb”, there you see all Host´s where you can make Couchsurfing, it´s almost free housing and look around for camp sites, there are often mobile homes where you can stay for little money, like me in Stanthorpe.
