We were woken up this morning at about 6:30am by the loud clanking of the anchor being pulled up. As we didn't actually have to get up until 7am we decided to have a bit of a lie in and stay in bed a while. This was such a bad decision! As the boat started to move we were rolled about in our beds which made us feel really queasy and and made it incredibly difficult to get dressed. I quickly threw some clothes on and ran up stairs to get some fresh air as I was...

Today was the first day of our Whitsundays trip on the boat 'Powerplay'. Luckily we didn't need to be on the boat until 11.30am so we got a nice lie in. After packing a small rucksack with enough stuff for the 2 days on the boat, we headed off to the jetty past the manmade lagoon (apparently named shagoon after one girl got an STI in her eye after swimming there!). Powerplay turned out to be smaller than we expected for the 19 people in our goup, but it was a ...

We were both feeling pretty tired as the overnight bus last night had been completely full making it very difficult to get much sleep. We were booked into a hostel called Magnums here as part of the package we booked back in Byron Bay and so after no pick-up buses showed up we headed off there with our bags. When we got to Magnums we had to wait around until 11am to check in ...

Today we had a full day in Hervey Bay before our overnight bus to Airlie Beach. After checking out of our room we took advantage of the sunny day and washed all of our grubby clothes from Fraser Island. Whilst they were drying we walked into the main part of town which is tiny - smaller than Bramhall! We bought a load of postcards which we may even send one of these days and had a stroll along the beach. We grabbed lunch at a pretty smart but cheap restaurant and...

We were awoken this morning by the sun shining on the ten and turning it into an oven. Everyone felt pretty bad this morning after last nights drinking, however as this was our last day on Fraser Island, we decided to make an early start to get to Lake Wabby (as you can see in the picture). So after breakfast everybody got packed and we headed down the beach toward the lake with Mark at the wheel. Unfortunately over the course of the previous night it appeare...
