Day 63-64 On the 29th May we were up at 0600 to get our train to Townsville. We had to get a bus from the train station to the marina for a ferry. The bus journey was very interesting. Lorna was sat oppostire someone who had food and drink stains all down her top, and had filled her bra with tissue. When Al got on the bus with his bags; it was like a scene from Forrest Gump, all of the people shuffled over so we couldn't sit down. Except for one man who moved ov...

Day 59-62 We travelled through the night from the 24th-25th and arrived at 0500 in Airlie Beach. We slept in the hallway of our hostel as the reception did not open until 0700. When the reception was opened we really wanted a bed so we could go to sleep; but a room was not ready until 1230. So we went and sat by the lagoon and checked in for our trip to The Whitsunday Islands tomorrow. On the 26th we spent all morning updating our blog before we had our pick-up...

Day 54-55 We arrived back from Fraser Island around 1730 and decided to book another night at Hervey Bay. The following day we decided to stay around the hostel. We played tennis for about 2 hours. After getting too hot we decided to head into the pool and the jacuzzi. We then went to the shops to have a look around but there wasn't much there. We then chilled out for the evening and really enjoyed our fry up for dinner, our first since being in Australia.

Day 53-54 Today we had our trip to Fraser Island. We were picked up at 8am by our 'Unimob' (this is an ex-military vehicle) and everyone laughed as it turned up. We boarded the ferry and we were on Fraser Island in about 40 minutes. Our first impressions were WOW! We were informed by our guide 'Captain Kirk' that it was the largest sand island in the world and didn't we know it once we started driving as we bounced everywhere. Before it was known as Fraser Isla...

Day 51-52 Due to our sleepless night we plucked up the courage to ask to change rooms. Once we'd swapped rooms we took a walk along Noosa National Park. We walked past Main Beach through to Little Cove and then took some photos at the Witches Cauldron Lookout. We stopped to chill out at Tea Tree Bay, before heading off upto Dolphin Point. We sat on the cliff edges for a while taking in the spectacular views. The sea was crystal clear and we even saw 2 kids spea...
