Leaving Melbourne

I will be taking a bus to Nowra, New South Wales tonight. I have a job at Pacific Furniture that I start on Monday. Nowra is a small town of about 30,000, two hours south of Sydney. I have no idea what I'm getting into. I also have no idea where I will be sleeping Monday night!  There are no hostels or couchsurfers there, maybe I will have to go to the pub and find some random people to take me in.
