Again, back in the car off up to Airlie Beach. Only 3 hours away, with a detour at Eungella National Park, so it wasnt too bad. Eungella is famous for the resident platypus' who live in Broken River, did we see one...no! Had a look for one, but no luck, just a few turtles. After a short walk around the rainforest, taking in the amazing views from the mountain side, we had a picnic and set off for Airlie Beach. On the way we stopped at a tourist information o...

Woke up with a banging headache this morning - not a good start to the day with a 7 hour drive up the Sarina Stretch ahead of us...it was so unbelievably boring! Literally for 7 hours we drove in what seemed like an endless straight road, passing no towns, just abandoned cars, dead kangaroos and miles and miles of views! We had to keep on taking it in turns to drive so that we didnt fall asleep! Frank finally got us to Sarina, but not wanting to give up, we dr...

Whilst Dave played rugby with the lads and his go at body boarding. Back to the campsite for the night and again had a campfire with the Yorkshire crew, listening to music and drinking more Goon!

Basically he kills sharks for fun and then tries to justify it by saying how evil sharks are! He actually says that one of the reasons he does it is to protect dolphins? We figure he must want to kill lions as well to save the wildebeast. We didn't take to this guy at all and felt he put a very biased argument across, a...

We decided that with being so close to Fraser Island it would be stupid not to go over and see it. We didn't enough money to do what a lot of people do which is to hire a 4wheel drive and cruise around the beaches and tracks and camp the night out there. We had to do Fraser island on the cheap! We booked onto the Day Trip. Where a boat takes you across for the day and then you spend time at a resort over on the island, enjoying a free lunch and the pool and the ...
