Woke up on Thursday morning to more rain. It's like being back in the UK! Got onto the Greyhound bus around 9ish for my trip to Townsville. The bus went through Bowen which is where Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman are filming at the moment. I would have considered getting off the bus and having a look around had it not been for the rain. Got into Townsville around 2.00 and Kath came down to the bus stop to meet me. It's been a year since Kath & Michael l...

Ahoy me heartys - I'm back from my sailing adventure and had an absolutley brilliant time. I set of on Sunday morning for the Ron of Argyll which was to be my home for the next 3 days. The Ron is a tall ship and I chose it because it looked like a slower paced boat. The Ron is a 50ft traditional sailing boat and was built in Scotland in 1928. Apparently it was used by King George V. The boat holds 12 passengers and 2 crew so I thought it was going to be huge....

Hi all, This is a bit of a boring blog because I haven't done much since leaving Rainbow beach on Friday. I had an 18 hour bus journey to get to Airlie - nightmare. I've still got a numb bum!

The bus was packed for a change so I had to have a crazy German dude next to me. He kept falli...

Hi all, Am back from Fraser Island and I am now the queen of camping! Woke up at 7am again for the pancakes. I had to check out of the hostel and put our back packs into storage until we are back. I just prayed that I had enough types of clothes to keep me warm. We loaded up the truck which took a while. We had 4, 3 man tents, roll mats, sleeping bags, cooking equipment and then the food. The food was brought for us but it was chosen well. We had steaks...

Woke up at 7am today for the free pancakes at the hostel. That's right my friends, the pancakes are free and you can eat as many as you like! I managed 4. Will have to beat that record tomorrow. Olly, Anthony, Leigh and I jumped in the car and headed down to feed the dolphins at Tin Can Bay. We waited 30 mins but they never showed up. How rude, you'd think they could be a bit more punctual. Kelly and Laura went kayaking that morning and saw about 80 of the...
