Round the world in, ummm.....163 days!
Hello!
THought best fill you in on what we've been up to over last week or so. Ummm, so......
After Byron Bay (nice relexed seaside town) we took a bus to Surfers Paradise (a big over developed holiday town, highrises 'n all!). Did what you do there: go out and get drunk on the hostel-organised nights, then lay on the beach the next day (even though it was far too windy!). Only stayed there 2 nights.
Moving up the coast we stopped off in Brisbane for 2 nights. Pretty cool place, spent one day walking the city, art galleries etc. Saw some live bands & did some mp3 DJing in our hostel. Basically brought your mp3 along & blasted out 7 songs! Some people have awful music!! Probably could have stayed there a further night, but had to keep moving up the coast. Got a bus to Noosa. Another great place, not over developed at all. Bit too expensive as its quite a posh resort nearer the beach. The hostel we stayed in was great. Shared a room with a typical wleshman (v funny), and a Canadian & swis girl & other random people. Did the usual: beach, surfing, drinking v horrible boxes of wine. So v cheap tho! made all the difference. Did go from there to see Steve Irwin's zoo! oh yes! & the man himslef was...............there! get in!
Spent the last few days on the sand island of Frasier. Its was great! Basically u get put into groups of 10-11 people. Given camping, cooking equipment & a............4x4!! You buy the food & drink you'll need and you're let (fairly) loose on the island for 3 days. Swimming in the lakes, watching sharks, turtles & stingrays! Driving on the sand tracks and the beach is so much fun! Wasnt allowed to go 'ala Top Gear' and drive through the salt water though! Oh, and had some wild dingos come into our camp one night.
No time to stop. Gotta keep on moving up the coast..........
