Sunday 26th NovWe got up early to check out of the hostel before 10am. They didn;t have a courtesy bus so we had to call a cab to take us and our hundred bags down to the bus station. As we checked out the guy gave us each back $20 for our key deposits so we ended up only paying $41 each for 3 nights in Brisbane! Such a bargain! Especially seeing as we did so well out of the whole fiasco! lol! The hostel was so disorganised but that worked in our favour! We caugh...

Tuesday 21st November We spent most of our first morning is Brisy looking for somewhere else to stay as we didn't think 2 nights would be long enough. Then we did the "Lonely Planet Walking Tour" which was quite useful really as we got to see all of the sights (there weren't that many) in one afternoon. We didn't follow it to the tee though else we wouldn't have got lost! We ended up taking the wrong ferry to the wrong place on the sout...

The miserable woman from the hostel reluctantly picked us up from the bus stop and then we attempted to organise some accommodation for Brisbane. This proved to be quite difficult as we didn't realise that the Ashes coincided with our trip! Luckily we found a pl...

Saturday 18th November Today we headed down to Noosa. It has a reputation of being a resort for the rich people and this was obvious from the huge houses right on the river! We checked into our hostel and then caught the courtesy bus into Noosa Heads, the centre. From there we walked up to the lookout point for a view over the bay. We checked out the beach when we got down but it was so busy because it was Saturday, i think it pretty much put us off Noosa even t...

Thursday 16th Nov We checked out of our room at Beaches at 10am, said goodbye to Frank and Anna and headed of to catch the Greyhound to Rainbow Beach. We wanted to spend a few days here chilling out after Fraser. After a two hour journey we arrived in Rainbow and checked into Pippies. We stayed in a random little room which was like a permanent tent but a decked floor and flourescent tube lights dangling from the ceiling. We thought it was pretty cool, little did...
