Foster's Tour
Hi.
So after i left Townsville/Magnetic Island i Went direct to Airley Beach where i would meet my mum the following day. The night at the backpackers was shocking. After a long trip i just wanted a quiet night and an early one. But i had checked into the wrong hostel for that. As i walked down the path past the dorms i could hear music getting louder and louder, and outside one of them were some
D1cks that were sooo drunk at 7pm and playing music louder than your grandma would like, i walked past unable to find my room i asked a guy stood out side another dorm where my room was and he pointed to the one with the d!cks and the music......brill !!! i dropped my bags and went for a walk and something to eat hoping that they would of left and gone out by the time i came back.... no such luck. I eventually gave in and tried to go to sleep with them playing the music and drumming on the floor and one guy playing guitar (he only knew one song and played it over and over).
The following morning i checked out and checked into the hotel me and my mum would be staying in. Then went to meet her at the airport. This was asupprise for her as she thought i was still in Townsville (ok i may of lied to her and told her i was there, and wouldnt be in Airley till 4pm the following day)
I was top bannana to see her again, and we spent the next few days catching up and eating really well !!!! (for me any way) oh god bless mums. We had plans to go over to Hamilton Island which is the main island in the Whitsundays, and stay there for a few days while having day trips to the other islands. The weather however had other ideas. Our family friend Anna from Melbourne came up to spend a few days with us also wich was nice. We had some nice nights including my Brithday night (thanks to those that remembered) and even though the weather was shocking for most of the time it was still good to see mum and Anna. As luck normaly goes it was stunning again the day we left. It was real hard to see mum go (even though she wont belive it) and even harder to go back to backpacker life hahah only joking.
From Airley i had a 12 hour coach ride down to Hervey Bay. I arrived at 8am the following day and checked into my hostel and slept for half the day. Hervey bay is where you leave for Fraiser Island. Once i had woken up i spent most of the day walking and sunbathing and later watching a film with some of the other people in the hostel. The next day i checked out and moved next door to the Koala's backpackers (the company i was doing my Fraiser trip with).
Will tell you all about Fraiser next time, as usual i dont have long left and this was one of the highlights of my oz trip so far and dont want to rush it.
Hope your all well and email soon
