We departed Port Douglas and headed to Noosa Heads, we had a slight panic the day before the flight as we had to buy more luggage allowance, considering we are backpacking we were amazed we had 50kgs of luggage, especially considering we only left the UK with 30kgs. We got picked up at 515 for our 830 flight, so had a little time to kill, we even made it first to the gate, much to Ryan's excitement we were on the plan first too. 2 hours later we had landed in Bri...

Then the tax man came along and took quite a chunk, slightly deflated from what we received Maz is blowing it all on massages ...

We landed in Darwin at the crazy o'clock time of 430am, the customs and immigration were very happy for that time of the morning which made us slightly more cheery. The downside of arriving so early was that the hostel wasn't able to book us in till 11am so we had quite a few hours to kill. It wasn't much fun walking round a closed town.
