Oi!
Since last time I was on here a lot has been going on. I arrived in Brisbane and the uni-girls had a reuneon. Kristina and Camilla had prepared a nice barbieque for us, so we walked down to the park at Kangeroo point for that and had a good catch up and all. Next day we took our thongs out for a good walk (for you Norwegians that don't know this term, thongs are the same as sandals or flip flops.. But down under you have to go for thongs to join the locals..). Anyways, it was reallyyyy warm and the walk was pretty long, but it was good. We got to see the south bank, which is a manmade beach and then went on to the city for some shopping. On our way back we stopped at the casino. I lost a dollar and gained a dollar.. ok, maybe I lost two.. After we found out that we didn't understand any of the casino rules, we went on to the markets at south bank. Did some more shopping.. The end of the day we spent eating tacos back at Kristinas! :)
Early next morning the journey continued north. Me and Cams had to take our farvells with Kristina and get on a stuffy bus. We were on our way to FRASER ISLAND! I was very excited. After trying to spot kengaroos from the bus for a while we all fell asleep.. The story gets interesting again when we hit the shore of the peninsula taking us out to the boarding of our big tourbus onto the ferry that was going to take ud onto the island. It just drives right onto the beach and you just bord it, just out of the sand! It was pretty wierd, but sooo cool! Going onto the something like 74mile long, beach highway on the island was also really cool! Our first stop was at Eli Creek, where we got to take a really refreshing swim in the fresh water comming out from the underground pools of the island. After a break there we went on to see the pinnacles, the ship-wreck of Maheno and Indian Head. There is so much interesting history and facts to all this, but that will be saved for those with special interest to it. At Indian Head, which is a big cliff going into the sea, we got to see sharks and mantarays and lots of cool fishies from afar. The trip then went on going back on the beach to where we were going to stay, at a resort called Eurong. On the way back we stopped to have a Pippi-race and also we spotted some Dingoes and some white breasted sea-eagles. The Pippi-race is all about who's pippi (a sea-shell) that buries itself the fastest into the sand again after getting dug up. Mine and Cams had a good race and it was called a tie. We won a free hot breakfast the following day each. After dinner we went for a walk on the beach to see the algees in the sand and to watch the stars. SOOO nice!! Then we all went to the pub for some drinks. Ill introduce those interested in the game of Australian Limbo when I get back home. I did pretty well at it;p
The following morning we had a bit of a hard time getting up, but we all made it. We then drove in to the forests on the island, very bumpy roads. We went for a sub-topical walk and then drove to Lake Birrabeen to do some swimming and for eating lunch. The beach was breathtaking, no words describe it. After lunch we went on back to the main land and me and cams were left on Rainbow beach to get picked up the following morning to go to Agnes water and snorkeling at Great Barrier Reef. On the ferry over to the mainland we got to see dolphins and also a watersnake swimming about.
Im gonna have to give up the computer to someone now. Take care people! lots of love! xx
