Have now arrived in Brisbane after an awesome Fraser Island trip. I got the bus overnight down from Airlie Beach to Rainbow Beach and must have got about 7 hours sleep which was a bonus! Had one night then we were off on our Fraser trip, had a really good group of people as no one had already formed mini groups so at the most it was 2 people knowing each other out of the 11. Spent the 3 days/2nights driving round the island, swimming in the lakes, playing some be...

Well I  have now made it a little further south down to Airlie Beach - not doing the standard backpacker Whitsunday sailing trip as I did it last time so am saving the money for New Zealand. Was good to move on from Magnetic Island - not really a lot to do there so was getting a bit boring. The Full moon party was a bit of an anticlimax - loads of locals there and really busy so the cheesy/backpacker friendly atmosphere of all week was missing! On Saturday we ...

It's been a while since my last post, internet access has been quite limited over the last week or so.

Next stop is Mission beach. Last few days have been involving too many nights out so will be good to get to somewhere quiet with no nightlife for any of us to get tempted to go ...

Have now been in Cairns a few days. Was such a good feeling when I stepped onto the Sydney airport tarmac on Monday! So good to be back! Had a right treat on Monday evening as Yorkie's (uni mate) brother who lives in sydney treated me to a slap up meal - the extensive menu was a bit of a novelty! Cheers Richard! Following that headed to Scubar where I met a few mates from Wantage - this was another good reminiscing trip as I had my 19th birthday in Scubar. Th...
