After a sad goodbye we temporarily left our friends and ventured down to Rockhampton & stayed in a hostel above a pub-how perfect!! Was a bizarre little town but enyojed a nice steak in the 'beef capital of Aus'. Inspired after diving on the great barrier reef i decided to try and get my diving qualification at our next stop in Bundaberg. Being the clever clogs i am, i read all the manual and answered all 120 questions the day before so would be raring to go-unfortuanately when i pitched up the following day with my completed homework and excited face was then told i couldn't even go for the medical due to my asthma, grrr. I got very angry and annoyed and ended up in a prison cell........................fortunately was an old police staion renovated into a hostel-thank god i hear you all cry!! Next stop was Hervey Bay where we stayed in the nicest hostel yet - had our own room with a TV and DVD player, a seriously luxury when a backpacker! Down we went further to Noosa, a grogeous seaside town with a massive national park which we dragged our bums around for a few walks!! The highlight here was the day trip to Australia Zoo-Steve Irwin's one, got to hold a koala, feed an elephant and lots of Kanagroo's & even spotted Bindi Irwin-was such a fun fun day!! We jumped aboard the greyhound again (have now clocked around 30 hours on this thrilling ride) and arrived in Brisbane. Was greeted by my lovely aussie Sheila Sheree and her boyf Tane & taken to thier house for a yummy home cooked welcoming meal, had a fab week staying with them and even managed to get to movieworld-which was so cool and being Captain Tough, went on ALL the rides, even mega mega scary ones!! Was so impressed at meeting Batman, Shrek, Scooby Doo, Justice League and the Happy Feet penguins, i may of pushed some snotty nose kids out the way to gain these photos but that's the benefit of being bigger and stronger, ha ha ha! After BrisVegas we travelled down to Surfers Paaradise and enjoyed my first few days in true style-my friend was in town so was treated to the most amazing food at the Versace Restaurant (where all the celebs go after there out of the 'i'm a celebrity get me out of here' jungle) was so so nice, luckliy i had my gladrags on for that fabulous evening! The following day was spent admiring 2 ferrari's (a brand new 599 and spider i think....) at Andrew's friends house who had THE most amazing house (the house next door even had a helicopter pad complete with helicopter!!) We went out for the day on his huge boat and enjoyed the lovely sunshine-really was doing it tough!! Back to reality now and working at SurfnSun hostel, changing sheets and cleaning etc. yes Princess Chloe is being a skivvy!! Saving lots of money as the workers live in flats next door (although have just found out a guy we are living with is wanted in his country, aaagggggh) but get good benefits like repping for nights out and lots of free drinks on bar crawls so not bad at all! Hopefully will have no horror stories to tell next time...........................................
