At the moment I am in Hervey Bay, getting ready to go to Fraser Island for 4 days over Christmas! But up until now I have been making my way up the coast, stopping at Noosa Heads, Rainbow Beach and now Hervey Bay.

The reason I am fitting all of these lovery places into one blog is because... There is nothing to say about them!!!

Don't get me wrong, they are very enjoyable places, with lovely beaches and blue skys but there is really not alot to any of them!

Noosa Heads: A lovely small town which all the Aussies go to as they're holiday village. So there are alot of expensive restaurants, shops, one small "club", a big national park and not much else! The hostel was nice, set just off the road with a swimming pool! And a bus to take us to the beach every 30 mins! Brilliant! SO we stayed there for a week mostly sunbathing. We went to the Australia Zoo (the Steve Irwin Zoo) and i was able to feed an elephant!! It felt strange and they leave this brown gunk on your hand but it was still really cool! We also saw the "Warriors Show" were one very brave man was feeding a massive croc and showing how fast they move to catch their prey, very exciting stuff!

So after a week of relaxation, we suddenly realised that we hadn't arranged accomodation before our trip to fraser!!!!!! EEkkk!! We had wanted to spend a night in Rainbow beach but all the hostels were sold out! SO we ended up spending a night in a $89 a night motel called "Debbies". IT WAS AMAZING! Double bed, Flat screen TV, our own Varanda with bbq. It was just lovely! Unfortunatly, Rainbow beach is even smalled than Noosa Heads. We spent about 3 hours on the beach, then it became overcast so we made our way back to the hostel, stopping to look at the one shop in town. That night we decided to treat ourselves to a big dinner (our first proper dinner in ages!) of Tacos, rice and corn on the cob. YUM! The next day we made our way to Hervey Bay.

So, Hervey Bay... Today we have been here for about a week. Which is more than enough time. The Beach is nice but when the tide is in the is no sand, so you have to lie down this bank, which is crawling with ants that bite you! When the tide is out though its lovely, you can walk so far out to sea and still only be ankle deep its amazing! There are a few more shops and a nice Irish Bar to have lunch in but thats as good as it gets. The night life here is dreadful. Luckily for us there were a group of four guys from Leeds next door to us for the first two nights, so we played drinking games and shed all night. But now they have left and there is nothing to do! We spend our evenings reading! I am now nearly in double figures with how many books i have read!

I have to say I am looking forward to leaving and going to Fraser Island for Christmas, its going to be amazing. The only down side is we're going to be camping for 3 nights with no showers... Bring it on!!!

As you wont hear from me for another week, Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will be thinking of you all and missing you all lots. Lots and lots of love xxxxx
