Having completed our community hop and depleted our bank accounts we were now going to Fremantle for a work stop. We tried to get work in Margaret River with one of the wineries, but we had found ourselves there between harvest phases. So despite being almost out of money we chance making it to Fremantle and finding work - quickly.
After living in a caravan park on the outskirts of the city, we soon find work, and with work and an income, a room in a share-house on East Fremantle.
We are now both working in hospitality: Molly works at a restaurant could the Left Bank, and I at the Little Creatures brewery. Our aim is to live frugally and make money fast so as to continue travelling. Our hope is to get to Adelaide by Fringe and hopefully pick up more work there, then onto Japan for a month before returning to Tasmania and, for me, my PhD.
But fate intervenes and, perhaps, has other plans. Whilst in Fremantle we meet Captain Paul Watson from the Sea Shepherd and some of his crew. From our short discussion with him, and later with members of his crew who frequented Little Creatures whilst in port, we are quickly inspired by his work, his passion, and as such, find ourselves wanting to sign up as volunteers to crew for him and the cause. This is activism with real action!
So stay tuned to this blog...
