hello! back in Brisbane as you can see, had the most amazing time snorkelling on the Whitsundays and Great Barrier reef, saw some huge parrot fish, squid, turtles and literally every tropical fish you see in your local takeaways's fish tank but about times bigger! went in a glass bottomed boat so got close up to the coral which was so colourful and incredibly beautiful, well worth going to! visited whitehaven beach which was stunning, tho the toilets were full of cockroaches which reduced me and alice to screaming wrecks. fun times!! we then went back south to the town of 1770 in hopes we could do the Harley Davidson tour around the city which sounded awesome and had been recommended by some fellow travellers but we were too late and we had to get back to brisbane anyway. next time maybe! so yes, back to the city briefly, then back down to surfers (mia, tried to go the ripleys museum- it doesnt exist anymore, doh! alice predicted this just as we asked the touristy info lady who said helpfully that it'd be back in 2010, lol) and had some great nights out and good food there for a few days, back down to our fave, byron Bay again which was really nice but we were so exhausted! back to brisbane where we dropped off the camper (i saw a guy driving it up the road to our hostel an hour later, small world!) and got into our hostel which is really nice, loadsa english people and a few scary bugs but A MATTRESS!! and a QUILT!! heaven! we are in Fortitude Valley which is pretty funky suburb near Chinatown so we've had few nights out and some awesome food! also went and painted a boomerang as a lovely souvenir, tho was sadly suffering the ill effects of the night before and the platypus ive painted is a bit all over the place, lol! this was followed by a trip to tony and guys for a bit of a barnet update, i look a little bit like shaggy from scooby doo but in a good way. today is the last day in Oz before we jet off to Christchurch so we're guna try see some AFL or rugby and generally sort ourselves, leaving here at 5am to get our flight, groan! were booking a car to get us around NZ as well, seems the best way as we really liked freedom of the van. anyway, must go, hope you are all enjoying the lil bit of sunshine ive been told has been happening in UK!
