So onto Byron Bay. By this time I was really seeing the benefit of my Greyhound Bus ticket. Its so cheap! You can buy a kilometre pass and get on and off the bus where you like. I arrived in Byron late afternoon to find the rest of my room mates sat outside the room getting drunk. I was greeted by Anders and Henrick (Swedish poker players), Marcus (Italian pharmacist) and Rob (Irish playboy). We bonded immediately over several drinks (mine was Goon! its australia...

So on to Surfers Paradise it was for me (Thank god!!). I arrived late morning on Saturday to the most beautiful blue skies. Just how you would imagine a placed called Surfers Paradise. I had dumped my bags at my hostel, as in Noosa I had heard there was an Olympic distance Triathlon with an international field taking place that day.

My time in Brisbane was spent walking into the main CBD (Central business district) to the man made laggoon and then eating out! Enough said about Brisbane, lets move onto Surfers Paradise.

So after spending a few days chilling out with the people I met from the YHA hostel and Whitsunday Tour, I decided to move on south to Noosa. Since myself and Jan had gone separate ways, I purchased a Greyhound bus ticket which would take me all the way down to Newcastle to get me to my connecting flight to Melbourne. The ticket is called a kilometre pass which allows you to get off and back when and wherever you like. So my next stop was Noosa. A tiny little pla...

So I left Jan the danish man to do a tour of the Whitsunday Islands. We set off on friday afteroon at 1pm for a 2 day, 2 night tour of the islands. The weather was beautiful, but unfortunately there was no wind, so we had to motor in our maxi pocket racing vessel. We cruised for about 4 hours passing the most amazing beaches and boats and scenery I have ever seen. Proper picture postcard stuff!! The cruise out to the Islands gave us all plenty of time to get to k...
