Hi everyone,
So now we're in Brisbane, have been for a couple of weeks in fact! Not been up to much here but starting work next week. Tomorrow is a public holiday as it's Queenie's Birthday. And we don't even get a day off in England for it!
The East Coast was a good craic. We started of in Cairns and got our campervans and went to Cape Tribulation for a couple of days, pretty good there but we missed the rainforest walk, oops! After Cape Trib it was Port Douglas which was a pretty nice place but didn't actually do a lot there! Then we headed back to Cairns and hung around outside the shopping centre with the Abos, we also tried to get out of our hostel without paying but just missed out! (They didn't know we were there really) we weren't bein too nauhty. We also drank copius amounts of coffee in Cairns, I'm not sure why. There's quite a nice lagoon there but it was overcast everyday. So we ate a lot of poached eggs. Again, I'm not sure why. Goin out in Cairns is kind of like going out in a meat market every night!
After Cairns we hit Townsville which also had a nice rockpool/lagoon area. Had a good night out there, few rednecks. Not much else to say on it, we did have a good BBQ as well and caught up with some people we knew from Melbourne.
We went ti a real good Billabong sanctary just outside of Townsville it was much better than the Australia zoo which is Steve Irwin's I think we might have enjoyed it age 5 years.
Then it was Airlie beach which we loved, they have a nice lagoon there as well! We did the Whitsunday's from Airlie, had a really nice boat called Ambition, actually that boat was particularly un ambitious. We didn't shower for 3 days, I had lovely matted, BIG hair after but it didn't really matter. I really enjoyed wearing my stinger suit (a bit too much) and Whitehaven beach is a dream.
After that was done we all got drunk with people on our boat and the ship mate. blah blah.
After Airlie we spent a funny night in a funny place called Mackay where nothing funny happened! We did go to a lovely waterfall the next day and dan swam in it.
Onwards and downwards and we went to Hervey Bay where we caught up with CANDY, was indeed lovley to see them and the reunion of Sare and Connor.
Er next we got the dates of our Fraser Island trip wrong and we went to Rainbow beach. The hostel there was well nice and chilled. In our group there was the 6 of us plus 3 Austrians who were pleasant enough. Fraser was really good, loved driving on the beach and the lakes were lush but we didn't get the best weather to be fair. Our tents leaked too but I'm not one to complain. It was good fun though and we had our companion goon to see us through.
We were meant to go kayaking with dolphins but that kind of didn't happen - I just couldn't get Danielle out of bed, I tried but she wouldn't move! ha ha so we went to Noosa next which we liked a lot. I did get a pint of beer spilled all over my white skirt in the bar though which displeased me somewhat. Could've stayed in Noosa a lot longer, liked the shops there too! ANd beach is gorgeous. Then we headed to as forementioned Australia Zoo where we were treated as children. Then on to Bris Vegas where we are still!
Now I've probably missed out quite a lot but it's a Sunday night and I'm tired and still a bit hungover from the match last night and sparkling wine but we'll let the photos speak for themselves. (when they finally all get on here)
Bye bye
