Palm bay hideaway resort
We have been working at a new helpx job for the past two weeks. We arrived in Long Island (20 minutes ferry ride from Airlie Beach) on the 6th and will be leaving on the 18th. Here is the job description.

This is by far the best helpx job I have taken so far. The location of the resort is unbelievable. The only ways to get to the resort are either by water taxi ($40 a person. yikes), have you own sailboat (1 billion dollars), or a ferry ($32 a person one way) but would have to walk about half a mile from where the ferry drops you off with your own groceries.
Basically, the resort is very remote and isolated which is awesome. I haven't heard a car running for over a week. Haven't seen 15 or more people at a time for over a week. It's been great. I bought a week worth of food coming here so we don't have to go back to the mainland. If I need to go buy groceries, it would literally take a full day just to do that since we are on an island.
The best thing about this place is since it is a resort, a lot of guests that stays here also need to buy their own food to prepare and most likely they will purchase food that backpackers would not be able to afford. The majority of the time, they leave with leftovers and we backpackers get to use them. So far, I have gotten a free T-bone steak, tons of vegetables, a variety of different dips sauce, tons of vegetables, and spices. ALL FOR FREE!!!
The work has been extremely easy. Kitchening cleaning, painting, laundry, room cleaning..etc. For 4 hours a day of easy work, I get to stay at a formerly 5 star resort. What a life.
I could definitely stay here until the end of the month easily but booked a diving tour to go out to the Great Barrier Reefs for the 22nd. That's a few days of driving from here. Totally going to miss this place and the friends I've met here.
There is a Reef Festival back in the mainland this up coming weekend. A music festival with musical guest Timomatic and fireworks. No idea who he is but I think he is making it pretty big here in Aussie, as well as in the states. Should be a good time.
