Hervey Bay is a horrible industrial town with lots of rednecks so we gladly went to Fraser Island one day later on a 2 day tour of the island. We went on a 4 wheel drive BUS with a group of fantastic people and a hilarious guide called Peter. We saw amazing animals; even a python at the side of the road and of course a DINGO! The weather for the first day was AWFUL and we got attacked by leeches but Lucy and I soldiered on through the rainforest cos that's how mu...

Hi guys, We've now hired a chugalong little car called Barney and the miles we are doing so far is pretty impressive. We've been to the middle of the South Island seeing Lake Tekapo, Lake Pukaki (an amazing turquoise coloured lake) Mount Cook (the highest mountain in Australasia) and have now travelled to a Scottish town called Dundedin on the South Eastern coast. The sights here are incomprehensibly beautiful and the people are lovely. We love this country SO ...

NOOOOSA! We have been the luckiest girls in the world here because Emma (who many of you will know) lives here with her husband Brent and they have kindly let us stay with them for nearly two weeks. A great deal of tea drinking, gossiping and early mornings ensued. We visited Brisbane (which was a nice looking city but nothing special) and Surfers Paradise which is a kind of tacky version of Florida with lots of high rises but has a great casino where we met up ...

Byron Bay! What a PLACE! We love it here. It's got this hippy 'peace, love man' atmosphere oozing out of everything; from the New Age stores to the buskers who draw crowds of up to a hundred, spilling onto the streets. We're here during the Blues and Roots festival which is like the Australian Glastonbury; very cool but busy! We spend our time in our beautiful (no kidding) hostel, or on the white sandy beach especially at sunset when you can see the dolphins play...

Hiya! We've been living back in Sydney for almost a week now right in the centre of the city. We've been partying quite a bit here, meeting up with people who we met in Melbourne and Manly so having our hostel so close to the bars is handy...St Patricks Day was hilarious and we even did some karaoke again but what was sung in that booth will never be unleashed to public we promise! We did the whole tourist thing with Sydney Opera House but the best part of it w...
