Fraser Island is one of the most beautiful places I've EVER seen!!! We were put into cars of 8 and there were 4 cars with a leader in the front one. I loved my group, we had; Anna the crazy Russian, Stacey the Scot, Kim the Manc, two Andys from Bristol, Charlie from Germany (who nearly killed us with her driving) and Sarah from Canada. We drove around the island with music blaring, swimming in clear water lakes surrounded my sand dunes and rainforests, floated d...

At first our hostel was awesome; hot tub, swimming pool, clean rooms, big kitchen, beer garden, tv room. However two mornings in a row I came down for breakfast and some lovely pe...

A lot's happened in the last week, as you can probably tell I have left Byron Bay and moved on up to Queensland. I am now in the gorgeous (when the sun's out) city of Surfers Paradise and today it is living up to it's name. But I'm getting ahead of myself; I'll update you on the last week. Byron Bay was awesome, the big group of us bonded so much over the first three days we were there. I was in an apartment with Laura, who is amazing and I was said to see her l...
