So as I left you we were in the car with Danny, an Indian Christian on our way to Gladstone. But first we had to pop back to Rocky as the Aussies like to call it to drop something off at his friend's house who was getting married. Conversation was flowing he spoke to us about his travels, berated Tom for paying fines he got in Australia and then he shocked us both by offering us free accommodation for the when we were in Gladstone. We didn't really know what to...

So I know you are in suspense with the major cliff-hanger I left you with. I can confirm we got to Rockhampton and Stefan was also a sound bloke, he loved the Cranberries, juice and Motorbikes.

I had seen the Everton vs. ...

So it was time to go back to Townsville, I was meeting up with Tom who I planned to travel the east Coast with. Tom is a chap who I only met in Innisfail, but yet he and his friend James who he was originally travelling with only come from Rainworth, which is about a 10 minute drive from where I live for those of you who don't know. The only problem with his arrival was that he planned to hitch-hike it down. So I was very sceptical whether he would make it or n...
