Well our final week didn't go exactly to plan after what was without a doubt the most terrifying flight we've been on. When a drunken groups cheers for a little bit of turbulence turns into an eerie silence after what feels like the plane dropping a decent distance, its not an exageration to say our hearts skipped a beat - or ten Topping up the tan was a no go because the first few days in Townsville it was raining and then The Yongala Wreck dive (the only reas...

A really cool wee town and somewhere we would like to have stayed for a little bit but had no luck of work. We stayed in a hostel for a few nights and celebrated Australia day watching the tennis final and the celtic game in an almost empty Irish pub, which thankfuly filled out as the night went on and was pretty good night.
