Arrived in Cairns on the 23rd June and met up with Johnny & Kev again who willingly showed me the nightlife Cairns has to offer. Treated myself to bit of luxury by staying at Gilligans, a 5 star hostel.The job hunting began and for once was successful. Managed to get for, only for a week though but good money and free accommodation. What I had to do was help clean up at a hotel resort on Dunk Island, just off wongaling beach near mission beach. Easy work clea...

Stopped over in Airlie just to break up my trip up to cairns, had a nightmare of an overnight journey on the bus so was glad to stop for 2 days.This is the place where you do the Whitsundays but I'm waiting on steve (mate from uni) coming out in November to do it so I was just here to sample the nightlife and break up the what would've been a 20 hour journey...why does OZ have to be so big!Airlie Beach (no beach though??) is a really nice town (camera bro...

Once you hit the sand it is so weird, just have to let the van do its thing. First stop was Lake Mckenzie, such a...

Got up to Noosa early evening and checked in to Koalas, relaxed then joined in a killer pool comp. Pot a ball you win a scooner of beer, miss you lose a life (2 lives to lose) and if you foul its trousers down and walk round the table. Lucky I wasn't that bad to do that but was only good enough to win one beer but somehow made it to the final. Andy won a prize for best spinning round the pool cue and Chris (mate in the dorm) won the whole thing...free drink fo...
