| Intersection of the main st and the st we live on |
So the main street in this town is called Bourbong St, but
most of the signs have the G scratched off.
It’s especially funny when you consider the size of the “city” of
Bundaberg. Compared to the cities where
I’ve lived, this place has very much of a small-town feel to it. It’s been really nice so far since I don’t
have a car; it’s a quick walk to the grocery stores and the dive shop. The owners of the place where I’ll be doing
my Divemaster internship have a house where the students all stay together for
the low, low price of $90 AUS per week.
This is a comparative bargain, as the hostels in town run about $150;
however, the quality of accommodation is reflected in the reduced rate, mostly
notably in the lack of any internet service.
Fortunately, the local public library is only a short walk.
I have managed to accomplish quite a bit so far – we started my Rescue Diver
course and completed the pool training and the textbook & exam, and
finished the Emergency First Response course and CPR training. Sadly, the weather has been less than
cooperative since my arrival – first we had heavy rains and flooding up north,
and now we’ve moved on to high winds.
Hopefully things will quiet down soon so we I can finish up my courses
and move on to my DM training!
