Adopted in Brisbane

After a few phonecalls and little background study, i decided that I will leave Victoria, Melbourne. It really was hard decision, because I got to be fond of the place. But it seemed that finding farm work might be better up in Queensland. Yes, farmwork. I have this idea at the moment, that I need to keep my options open should I want to return to Australia. In order to do that, I need a visa extension and for that need to work in farms in rural Australia for 88 days. Or pay someone off who signs the papers.
Last thing i did in Melbourne was to buy a laptop. It turns out it is essential here, especially as I want to find work, need to do research etc. Smartphone just isn't enough and internet stations are bloody expensive. So I got a 1kg baby from Bosnian 2nd hand computer shop.
I contacted a friend who I made in the Philippines, Marius. He had repeatedly said, that when I come to Brisbane, he can offer me a place to stay for a few days. So I did and he confirmed.
I arrived to Brisbane on Saturday evening and I have seen him so far for maybe 3 minutes, but his mother has totally adopted me. She is so incredibly sweet. And she doesn't even know me (or is that the reason why?:)) So I'm just staying in this house and she has made beautiful dinners and I have internet access and can use my laptop to search for a job.
And I can read her short stories. She used to be a journalist, but now retired, but started to write little stories of her life. She said I can read them if I wanted to, I did, though was a bit afraid. What if I don't like them? But they are so well written and so interesting. Mature persons stories about her life. I wish to hear such stories from my mother.
Today one farmer said I can come over there. He had this really board Australian accent. I can't help it, I find it a bit scary. I will give it a day or two to hear from other applications as well before heading out to no man's land.
