Today is a very crud day. Weather is still bad. We decide to check out anyway and see if we can get to Hervey Bay on a bus. We can't though. Such a pain. We will have to stay in Noosa again. We keep our bags in the room and hope that new arrivals don't come and fill the beds so Chris and Merryl can let us in and sleep in the spare beds. We ain't paying $33 again for this place. As it happens, the spare beds are filled and we ponder our next move. Sammie try's fra...

I woke up several times in the night as our room was near a main road with window open. It was so loud and hard to sleep. I had an alarm set for 6:45 as our bus to Australia Zoo was at 7:45. I was awake well before then so got up and read about the Newcastle game. Sounded mental. 2 red cards, several fights and a last minute Newcastle equaliser. So gutted I couldn't be at St James' for it. We check out of Banana Bender and head to the bus station. We are both rea...

Got up relatively early this morning. Had our free breakfast in the hostel which was just weetabix. No big fat fry up which is a let down. Sammie and I have to rush to check out and catch a bus to the theme park. We just about catch it in time. The theme park is about 30 minutes away. There are 4 theme parks pretty much side by side. The one we go to is called 'Dreamworld'. I wasn't overly fussed about going to a theme park but I'm glad I did. It was a lot of fun...

I'm hungover today. Everyone is. Was a fun night though. Me and Sammie check out of the hostel but we remain there until 14:30 when we have to get our bus to Surfers Paradise. We chill by the pool. Weather is worse today. Cloudy with the odd spot of rain. It's a massive shame to be parting ways with Tom. It's been great spending a few days with him in Surfers Paradise and Byron Bay. He, Nele and Stefan see me and Sammie to the bus. The bus journey takes an hour a...

Im writing this the next day but this day was probably the most enjoyable since I been out here. I spent pretty much the whole day on the beach with a guy from Germany called Tom. Before we went to the beach we went up a skyscraper to a place called skyview. Overlooking all of Surfers Paradise. It was brilliant. Looking right up and down the beach as far as the eye can see. We learn the beach is 70km long!! It's staggering. Being on the beach all day is amazing. ...
