Hello from Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast).... We got to Surfers Paradise after a not too bad train and bus journey from Brissy. I'm not sure what I was expecting but the town itself was nice- a strange mix of high-rise buildings and beach. Definatly had a seaside town feel to it. We went for an exploring walk and saw a bit of the town. Then it was back to the hostel to get ready for 'The Outback Experience'! This was a show that our ex-employers at the lovely Emu...

We were only there for one night. A bit gutting but we had to sacrifice something and the need to surf was strong! We stayed at Base backpackers, the place was massive. Base has it’s own bar, which again was huge and about 1000 rooms (maybe a little exaggerated). We stayed in a confusing but lovely girls dorm and we met two great Swedish girls.

Hello from Mooloolaba..... We arrived in Mooloolaba after a very short Greyhound trip. We were pretty knackered from our canoe trip in Noosa and had to hang around a bit to get the bus so was good the journey was so short!

It was a short walk the next day after a free b...

Hello from Noosa (That's a lie as we are in Surfer's - we are running behind on our blogs oops) We had a very short bus/train journey into Noosa from Hervey Bay. It's amazing how the further south you get, how much each place changes. Noosa is really beautiful but a little pretentious. The place as a whole is quite expensive but we managed to budget ;) When we got there we were picked up by the hostel we were going to be staying at a night before our canoein...

Well, we have literally just returned from an amazing 2 day, one night trip to Fraser Island. It ended up being a guided tour that we went on as had a few problems! Before we even left Emus we had a call to say that our first Fraser trip from Noosa wasn't running anymore. So the timetable was rearranged (by the lovely Mandy!) and we were meant to be going on a self-drive trip from Hervey Bay. This one wasn't running either so we chose the guided option as it wa...
