Alice had eaten some yummy veggie burgers on the Fraser trip, and so I asked at reception where they came from, and so we both brought some from the butchers and then used the computers at Tribal Travel. After that we set off for Hervey Bay, since we had a whale watching trip booked. It was slightly annoying as that meant we had to go back up the East Coast, but we got to get so close to some of the whales that it was worth it. They were selling a CD with whale...

Today, waking up time was 7, since we had to put back our sleeping mats and brush the sand out our tents. Then we drove to a lake that you have to walk about 30-40 minutes to, through rainforest and then over sand dunes. Again, if it was sunnier it would have been a beautiful place to sunbathe at, but this was the only place I didn't brave the cold to go in, despite the walk making everyone feel hot and sweaty (I just hadn't brought my towel). The Irish guys ha...

Luke woke us up at 7.30 so we could start cooking and eating our onion and tomato scrambled eggs. Once camp was clean, we left to go to champagne pools- so named because when the waves lap over the rocks, it makes the water fizz. Luke advised us not to stand on the rocks as it sweeps over a lot of people off their feet, so what was the first thing the Irish lads did? Scott got scraped quite badly on his back from it- it looked really raw and painful. Luke picke...

We had another briefing at 7.45, and then loaded our stuff into the cars and trailers. Alice and Miriam had gone to the toilet and by the time they came out, the only seats not filled were the front two, and therefore Alice was the first driver. The mechanics that helped us yesterday saw her driving it out, and I think they were a bit worried. On the way to the ferry, Luke- our very funny guide, who likes to make lots of rhymes in his speeches and give life ...

Alice caved in and brought a new phone from K-Mart in Bundaberg, so hopefully this one won't break. I thought we had plenty of time to get to the 2 pm briefing for tomorrow's Fraser Island trip (which ended up being postponed until 4.30 pm anyway) but we got there with only about 20 minutes to spare. This would be fine had I not have somehow managed to drive out of a car park, and get the trailer peg of another car wedged in between the wheel and the wheel cove...
