Early Start this morning as we made our way down to the marina in the hope of feeding wild dolphins! There was one male of 18 years old that the staff at the marina called Mystique who had been coming to the shore for years to let gawping tourists feed him a few fish. There can be sometimes up to 4 dolphins all part of the same family or pod. Mystique was covered in scars and had chunks taken out of his fin from battles with other dolphins and sharks. We all too...

Said our goodbyes to Mon and Dayna this morning before the two of us and Charlotte set ff on our road trip to Hervey Bay. First stop was to the 'big pineapple' and after a uick look round at all the various pineapple themed things and a few photos later we set off again. Stopping at some services for lunch, we got talking to a lady who told us about the nearby town of Tin Can Bay, where in the morning you can feed wild dolphins! There wasn't much chance that Cl...

Me and Dave we're kindly invited round to Charlotte's distant family's house today for some dinner today, so the 3 of us all piled in the car round to Mary and Larry's home, about a 45 min drive outside of Brisbane. Even though Charlotte was a little bit unsure about the way we were going, we managed to get there! They live in a gorgeous big house, a swimming pool and 3 cats that look like they belong in the James Bond films. It was too cold to go for a dip th...

Had the day to ourselves as Charlotte and our hosts were going to a wedding, so we chilled out in the house for the morning. In the afternoon we went to Nudgee Beach for a look round. It wasn't a white sandy sunbathe style beach, but a huge wet black sand style beach - a bit like Morecombe, but cleaner. We were fascinated by some green worm/centipede type creatures that were curling round anything that passed by them. We didnt dare get too close though, as kn...

The black little monster kindly woke us up this morning by again diving full length onto the tent and not giving up until we let him inside, where he jumped around a bit - obviosly enjoying our frustration! Unfortunately, there is no way it can be fixed so Charlotte took us to a nearby shop so we could begrudgingly by a new home! Oh well, Dave didnt like the old one anyway. We all got suited up after dinner as it was time to hit the racecourse for our 'day at ...
