I got back from Fraser Island yesterday, and travelled to Noosa on the bus this morning. Tomorrow morning I am going canoeing for three days and then on Monday I can have a rest! I went to Fraser Island with 6 others - three German and three British - in a 4wd. 2 of them did all the driving and were brilliant - we got the car back in one piece and didn't get charged for any damages which was good! We'd met on Sunday and done our food shopping, and set off on the...

Again, not my picture! I'm in Rainbow Beach now - I arrived yesterday and am starting a group self-drive tour of Fraser Island tomorrow. I will meet my group in an hour for a briefing - yesterday I overhead the video they show and it was all about what to do if a dingo gets too close! On Thursday I arrived in Hervey Bay and on Friday I spent the day whalewatching. Hervey Bay is the top whalewatching spot in Australia and it didn't disappoint :) Hervey Bay is...

On Sunday I set sail on a boat called Habibi, to do a backpacker tour of the Whitsunday Islands. I think there were about 25 passengers on board, and three crew - a cook, a deckhand and a skipper.

The bunks were small and my bunk was so close to the ...

I'm in Airlie Beach now. I got the Greyhound down from Cairns yesterday with Gemma, a girl I met in Darwin and then again in Cairns. It took 11 hours and was horrible because it was full, unlike any of the buses we'd been on up the west coast. The first driver we had was grumpy, and the second one had never driven a Greyhound before and couldn't change gear! I reckon I could drive a Greyhound better than him! He kept going past the bus stops and having to turn ar...

I got back from diving last night. I am absolutely exhausted! I have put my pictures up but that's about as much as I can handle today! I have so much to say about scuba diving - it was the most incredible thing I have ever done. The Great Barrier Reef is beautiful and I saw so many different fish and corals and sea cuecumbers and stuff! I will write it all down soon - all about my 8 dives and everything I saw and did - but right now I am just completely exhauste...
