Hervey Bay and Fraser Island Sunday 17th October - Friday 22nd October 2010 Hi everyone! I'm going to try and remember Fraser but it feels like so long ago we were there! But thanks to the jounrnal Lucy got me, hopefully I won't forget anything!We arrived in Hervey Bay early Sunday morning after getting the 13 hour night bus!

Airlie Beach and The Whitsundays Saturday 9th October - Saturday 16th October 2010 We arrived in Airlie and got to "Airlie Waterfront Backpackers", a large complex and we have a small room with bunkbeds!
