Hello and greetings from Myella where I'm staying on a working farm.

The majority of the others have gone to feed horses and look at how a farm works but I thought I'd check my emails instead, not being the biggest fan of animals!

Since the Great Barrier Reef cruise I have been on several more boat trips.  I went on a sailing trip to the Whitsundays.  The beaches were beautiful and stunning.  I also got the chance to wear a very flattering catsuit type stinger suit to go in the sea (thankfully there are no photos!).  When I refused to jump off the boat into the sea I found myself being lifted in by the skipper!  However, the actual sailing there and back was awful - I spent most of the time with my head down on the table.

I've been on Great Keppel Island for the past two days.  The boat trip there was horrendous - I did actually think I was going to be sick.  The island itself was nice and I hiked to Leeke's Beach which was deserted and beautiful.

I'm now at a farm stay and then we're heading Brisbane way before getting to the Gold Coast.
