26th feb- Cairns We arrived in cairns this morning at 6am after doing our last and final ever greyhound bus (horahhh!) We couldn't check in until 7am so we waited around the hostel until then- we were hoping our rooms might be ready if no one was in there the night before but unfortunately there was :( So Kathryn gave us some information on things to do in cairns (seeing as they lived there for a good part of a year) one of the things she suggested was the ...

25th feb Woke up so hungover this morning! We went out with Lauren and Martie yesterday- Jamie and I went for a meal to a gorgeous restaurant where I had pumpkin and spinach pasta mmmm :) then they met us during our meal and we headed out for a few drinks. Knew it wouldn't be a mad one though as we needed to check out by 10am and also Lauren was getting her greyhound at 7am and Martie at 9am. Anyway, still ended up having a few (I actually think I only had 4-5 ...

We got picked up on the Friday evening on the boat at 7pm. We were told there was goi...

Agnes water is meant to be beautiful and James the guy I booked our trips with was from here too and recommended it so thought why not! :) When we got off the greyhound there were people there from each different hostel for the backpackers. For this stay I decided to book something a little nicer- our own private cabin with kitchen, lounge, en suite and h...

17th-18th feb- Fraser Island! We got picked up at 7.45am for the first day of our trip. Luckily we were able to leave our bags in the hostel as we were stopping there the night we get back from Fraser Island too. We were on a coach which I didn't think we would be- I actually didn't know how the trip would be but guess I just didn't imagine it being on a coach. So the coach took us to the ferry (the coach also stayed on the ferry) and we headed over to Fraser ...
