1st November 2001

I moved back to the Whitsunday area of North Queensland recently. Living in Cannonvale, near Airlie Beach, I landed a job on Novotel Daydream in the Reservations Department within two weeks. Not the highest paid job I've ever had but it pays the rent! I'll probably do this for the next three months before deciding on a future "career" depending on the Visa Application outcome. Visa or ...deportation. Airlie Beach is 1,300 kilometres further North from Brisbane where I lived for the past one and a half years, and in the same region as Lindeman Island where my Oz odyssey commenced.

Until 1st November 2001

I had been living with the Fleury Household in Hendra, North Brisbane. Eric and Louise Fleury run a Catering Company for the Film Industry, so have been working for them for most of the last one and a half years, helping out Eric with the catering side, mainly it must be said with the dish-washing. I worked on three productions , a TV Series "The Lost World", loosely based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novel of the same name. This series has recently gone to air in Australia on Channel 10, having been made primarily for the American and Canadian market. I also worked on a TV Movie "Attack on the Queen" about Taiwanese Terrorists who take the QE2, including the Chinese and American Presidents, hostage. Both these productions were made on and around the Gold Coast, south of Brisbane. My last production was for RTL, German TV and their version of Survivor, Reality TV. It was called "Outback" to distinguish it from the American Series. This was filmed in the region of Charters Towers and Hidden Valley in the Far North Queensland Outback
