The cattle station was immense! One of the the funniest and surreal things we've done on our trip. Definately exceeded expectations. We arrived at 12.30 and it was a bush tucker lunch and then straight to business on the ranch. One group could go goat mustering on horse back while the other group could go quad biking on the farming track which would take about 3 hours. Of course we chose the speedy manly bikes! lol. It was so much fun and by the end once we'd na...

We weren't sure that we could get into the town of Agnes Waters (renamed 1770, no-one really knows why lol) because they had been flooded in. In the end it was clear for us to get through so we travelled with afew friends from our Fraser Island adventure. There's not much in the town and with the rain even less to do. We did walk down to the beach and got lost in the swamp gardens on the way back. Don't ask me how lol. We were going to have a ride on the famous s...

Fraser Island was awesome, we cannot put it into words! Really enjoyed ourselves driving the 4x4 on the beach and inland.

We had a really nice group and we all camped together on the beach the first night-getting up at 6 in the morning as it was high tides to make our way to Lake Mckenzie. This is a beautiful lake, the water was so clear and s...

Noosa is a National Park and the surrounding area is very picturesque. It is made up of four rivers and we stayed in the one called Noosaville in a small hostel right on the river...if only we had our own boat!! Unfortunately the weather turned really bad as a cyclone came down from Cairns and hit us pretty badly so we did not get to go on the water. The town itself is very small with afew shops and a beach. However whilst we were there we went to Australia Zoo h...

Brisbane is a lovely city, the weather is alittle too humid as they have some high rise buildings but Helen and I really liked it. We took the citycat which is a local river taxis along Brisbane river. It was abit windy but nice to be on the water for a change. It took us all along the river past Kangaroo Point, Southbank and under all the bridges. Once on land again we took the free city tour which all in all took about 4 hours with a break for lunch, taking us ...
