Today we made the long trip North and inland a bit to Kroombit Cattle Station. The bus took forever but we mainly slept for most of it so it wasn't to bad. The bus driver thought it would be a good idea to dress up all hick country style so when we arrived we looked the part. He took us to an Op-shop on the way and Cate and I bought a few bits and bobs for about a quid each. We really wanted a cowboy hat each but we were'nt quick enough! When we arrived we p...

From Brisbane we went on to Hervey Bay, which was just a stop off before we went to Fraser Isalnd on a 2 day safari!! Once getting to the island (a big sand island) we travelled on a big 4 by 4 bus. All the roads were sand! We visited some amazing places on the island, Pile Valley, a sub-tropical rainforest. Eli Creek, which Andy and I floated down, even though it was absolutely freezing! The water was so clear, it was beautiful! Lake Wabby, and the hude...

Today we set off for Brisbane. Bit of a long drive, so we had some stops to break it up! For breakfast we pulled into a little town called Nimbin, a really hippy little place where no one wears shoes and everyone smoked weed. We were reminded to be careful about which cakes we bought! Next few stops were along the Gold Coast, Surfer's Paradise and Noosa, then on to Brisbane, arriving at 6pm. We had only found out yesterday that the Arctic Monkeys were...

Arrived yesterday evening, and went straight out to Cheeky Monkeys, a great bar with lots of beer and prizes to give away (mainly beer!) We've been with the same bus of people for three days now, so we all knew each other a bit more and were having a cracking time in Cheeky Monkeys!! Dancing on thew tables by the end of the night! (Everyone does it apparently!) Today was our first lie-in in ages! Grate stuff! Went down to the beach with two lads from t...

Early rise and back on the road. Straight to the Mojo surf camp at Crescent Head. Got there at lunchtime, and after lunch (you guessed it... BBQ) we went surfing with the instructors, Kimbo, Troy and Bear!!! What about those names? The surfing was rather unsuccessful for me, but Andy was getting there! He was actually getting to his feet! After 3 hours non-stop surfing, I couldn't feel anything, through the cold and the muscle-ache! In the evening we all c...
