first move of hosts, it's a bit of a pity that your only just getting relaxed and getting to know your hosts and you have to move on again.
We were given revised programmes by Mermaid Beach and the scheduled leisure time was now a visit to a radio station. They were going to interview us on air but the station manager wasn't sure if people could understand our accents. The station was quite chuffed as now apparently the Beatles are considered easy listening so they can be played. There's also apparently a big demand for Daniel O'Donnell songs
Thursday everyone went on their first vocational visit. I've really been looking forward to this bit. Mark, Ian and I all met with the Gold Coast City Council youth worker which was really interesting. There's herself and a part time staff member that work for the local council. It appeared to me that a large part of the face to face services are provided outwith the local authority. It was interesting to discuss the issues that young people face and also interesting to see that the large majority of these issues we similar for GC young people and young people from Inverclyde. the GCCC also run a youth council for local young people so maybe a wee exchange could be an option

I think an exchange sounds an excellent idea good thinking Jennifer....lol....can you check out the current prevention work on domestic abuse over there...lol...sounds amazing much better than this office anyway....by the way its still really really cold here!
:o) The Gold Coast had big signs at the beach front which read " The Gold Coast does not accept domestic abuse" I tried to take a picture but the convertible was going a bit too fast (sorry I just had to put that bit in). They also do the help line numbers on the back of the toilet doors and helpline cards - I've picked up a couple.
