Today is my second day up near Byron bay doing my work exchange. The family who is hosting me is lovely. Mom dad and three kids. I have my own little mini cabin with bed, bathroom and half kitchen for eating breakfast in the morning. The weather here is heaps (Aussie word) better than Sydney. So much so that I might take a swim in their pool once I've finished today's work. Although this is a macadamia nut farm, the harvesting season is already over so my help is being put towards refurbishing an old bathtub and sink so they can try to sell them. They are remodeling their house currently and have discarded these items. So I've been outside mostly, sanding, and the little neighbor dog has been keeping me company. It's nice.
Yesterday upon meeting me, the youngest son Patrick, 8, said my accent sounded like someone from YouTube. Haha. Apparently they rarely get Americans staying with them, it's mostly French and German.
It's also nice to not be spending money, and get away from the hosteling party scene for awhile.

Sounds like the coast is the place to be, I know I wish I was at Byron Bay right now.
