Well I intended to spend a week in the little town of Fernmount but its quaint charm has sucked me in and I’ve decided to stay for nearly two weeks. I’ll be flying to Melbourne on Saturday. I think the balance between big, cosmopolitan cities and work exchange in rural areas will be a great way to experience Australia.
