We got a hostel bus to the transit centre at 10am, where we caught our Greyhound to Noosa. About two hours into the journey the bus stopped for quite a while. I was just beginning to wonder what was going on when the driver came over the PA system and said 'errr sorry guys - I've broken the bus'. We ended up being delayed for over an hour by going to a mechanic. When we got back on our way, the driver put Wall-E on, so I was happy. When we arrived in Noosa the...

On our last day on Fraser Island we got up early again and hooray - the sun was shining and the sky was blue! The first good weather we've had since our first day or two in Oz. Before breakfast I went to the payphone to try and call Ed again, and he picked up this time. It was really nice to speak to him - it was about 10pm at home so it was still our anniversary there! We had a lovely beach drive in the sun, and on the way we saw a police car, stopped with l...

I'm feeling better tonight (although still not a camping convert). The main reason for my feeling better is that it didn't rain today, apart from a few showers late in the day, but compared to yesterday that was fine. We got up early, around 7ish, and had breakfast - toast over a flame and cornflakes in a plate - before setting off for the day in our cars. I am covered in itchy bites which is so frustrating. Vicky's are even worse, her legs are completely covere...

I am not happy. We got up early to meet our group for the Fraser Island tour. The sky was overcast but I was holding out hope for sunshine, after all we've had enough rain over the last two weeks. However about two minutes after we got in the cars it started to rain! We went to Woolworths to buy some food for the trip, as well as a bottleshop for some alcohol. After a fifteen minute drive we got onto the barge to take us to Fraser Island (in the rain). Once on...

Well I left you when we were sitting in cafe at Airlie Beach yesterday. We continued to sit there for another couple of hours before going to get our Greyhound bus to Hervey Bay. As we were walking to the bus stop it started to rain really heavily - we just can't escape it! The bus came a little bit late, and our driver took our names. As we set off he was talking into his mic, just rambling on partly to us and partly to himself, it was quite sweet. His favourit...
