Hi all, Just a quick last message from the land down under! As you can see from our pictures- jsut got back from Fraser Island. We had a good time even if the weather wasn't too great! Beautifully clear lakes and streams, the whitest sand we've ever seen, and good fun bouncing along down 75 mile beach. Hope you enjoy the picutres, thanks again to Sarah and Adam for letting us steal their house for so long, and we'll see you all back home in 10 days! Mor...

On Saturday we headed for for the Kuring Ga...

We've just uploaded our photos from Melbourne- we really liked the city although it was quite expensive! We spent the first two nights in St Kilda beach which was a nice area with lots of little cafes and restaraunts. However, our hostel was horrible- the worst we've stayed in s...
