Went sailing on the Waltzing Matilda, not exactly the party boat of the Whitsundays, but still a good time was had by all. Whitehaven beach was beautifull and we are definately hardened sailors. The weather wasn't great however we are now pro sailors so that is a bonus. Went to Frazer Island, which was wicked!! We were put in a group with seven others, given a four wheel drive and a map and sent off into the wilderness. We encountered dingoes (but were prepared...

Hello!! Well we've had many exciting adventures since our last update. Kirsty (from uni) came out to see us for just under 2 weeks and we had the best time ever. She arrived the next day after we did on the east coast. We had some really hot beautiful weather in which Kirst spent her time wisely giving herself a rather impressive tan to go home with! We took a trip up to Cape Tribulation for a few days, stopping in Port Douglas on the way back down to Cairns. The...

Katie & Caspar: Hello!! Please also make sure you all read the other postcard we've sent from Queensland titled 'Cairns, Port Douglas, Cape Tribulation' (click left!).

We arrived in Ayers Rock Resort (population about 1500 and the 4th largest town in the Northern Territories!) with two days to spare before we joined a tour group out to Ayers Rock, the Olgas and Kings Canyon. So we checked into our 20 bed dorm, which resembled army barracks, and then read our books and watched tv for two days. And that was about it. Oh no, we actually went to a concert where The Choirboys were playing (apparently they were big in the 80s) so tha...

We have just spent a week in a place called Gidgegannup which is the centre of the universe (Alan 2005). We went to stay with Alyson's family on their farm. We rode their horses, got taken out on their big fast motorbikes, had BBQ's for breakfast, got taken shopping several times (Alyson's great uncle Charlie even braved the shops with us and lived to regret it), shot guns in the garden and were totally spoilt for the whole week. We had such a good time and made ...
