I woke up about 6.30 am at the Southport tourist park campsite in a very productive mood. I pegged my washing out that I washed from the night before, and then thought I'd put my new sports bra to good use and head out for a run before it got too hot. I ran 5 km along the beach front which was amazing! When I got back to the van, I showered and then prepared for breakfast. While Sarah was gone I thought I would give the kitchen bit of our van a quick clean. I fel...

Check out time in the hostel was 10am, we woke up at 9.30, I ran for a quick shower and shoved all my stuff from scattered across the floor into my big rucksack. We headed down to reception all in a fluster and apologetic at 10.45 to be greeted with a totally chilled out receptionist who was like 'no worries'! Oh yea... We're in Australia! We went out the back of the hostel and were pleasantly surprised to find a nice little cafe that had amazing views of the cit...

Australia Zoo today!!! We woke up so excited. The public toilets were absolutely vile so we decided to do it true backpacker style and hit the bushes!

It was so good to speak to them and especially to find out how Jack is getting on at uni! After showering we headed out to see what the Sunshine Coast had to offer. While out on her run Sarah found a cute little tea shop called the...

So we didn't quite make it to Noosa beach last night, I was so tired driving and we ended up taking a different route to what we planned which meant we drove through a forest for 50 miles! It was pitch black, foggy, no other cars or houses, just the odd creepy looking one, I mean why the hell would you want to live in the middle of no where unless you're weird and scary and probably a murderer! I had such a bad feeling about it all and managed to scare to hell ou...
