when i first arrived in hervey bay i still had killer sunburn and as the sun was so strong i had to spend the first few days here indoors which was v.exciting!! the main reason i came to hervey bay was to go to fraser island (as the tours departed from here). fraser island is a sand island and the trip i did you travel around in a 4x4 and camp at night.

when my bus got to rainbow beach from noosa the guy driving showed us how to play a digeredoo (god knows how you spell it properly) and throw a boomerang - both of which i was suprisingly not great at!! the place is called rainbow beach because the sand on the beach is various colours which looks really cool. me and some girls from my room decided to go and watch the sunset on the beach which was def worth it - although it hasnt come out that great on my photos! ...

this was another really cool, chilled out place. we only had one night here but i think it was prob enough as alhtough it was a great place to go out at night but there wasnt much going on. but we went out with another girl from our dorm and had a fantastic night out! x x
