6 am start this morning as we were heading out for a day boat trip on the Derwent Hunter, all round the Whitsunday Islands. We checked out of 'nomads' campsite and parked the car. There were no spaces available at the campsite so we basically just left it, then walked to the bus stop and the mini bus never came for us so we had to walk to the harbour. Great start! Anyway once we finally got there the boat was incredible! Built in 1940, literally the most amazing ...

I woke up this morning at around 7am and face timed mum which was nice! We charged our cameras and phones and set off for Cedar Creek waterfall. Whilst driving there we met some other travellers that told us the waterfall didn't exist at the moment as there hasn't been enough rainfall. So we headed just a bit further on to Conway Beach. The sea was so far out, maybe a mile and there were jellyfish everywhere so we drove back the other way towards Hideaway Bay. Th...

Another extremely sore head this morning! We headed out for breakfast, I had a massive bowl of fruit and muesli, it was lush! Then headed to the beach just to chill today. It was so hot and I was so dehydrated I couldn't lie down anymore so I got up and went for a wonder around the town while Sarah had a sleep at the lagoon. The town is so cute, lots of beachy/surf shops. I bought an ice cream from New Zealand natural, coconut and chocolate, and raspberry and whi...

We didn't stop at Bowen beach today, just headed straight onto Airlie beach. It was about an hour drive which was probably the best stretch of road we've seen so far. It was an absolute scorcher! We arrived at Airlie beach, what a place! Absolutely stunning views but very commercialised at the same time. Looks like a major party town, think I'm going to like it here! We booked a trip to go out to the Whitsundays, although it was massively booked up so the only ne...

We woke up at the rest area with no showers, minging toilets and no power... But with more money in our pockets! I guess this is real travelling! We cooked scrambled eggs and baked beans on our little camp gas stove which was really nice, I've missed my cooked breakfasts. We set off at about 9 and hit the open road. We have to drive on the A1 road, The Bruce Highway pretty much the whole way down to Sydney, easy peasy! However, clearly not that easy as I managed ...
