I arrived at Rainbow beach on Saturday evening, it is called Rainbow beach as it has 72 different colours of sand! On Sunday we wandered around the town and went and sat on the beach for lunch. We then had a talk about our trip to Fraser Island before going on an walk organised by the hostel to see the Carlo sand blow which is 15 hectares of sand! There we attempted to throw boomerangs and I watched people attempt to sandboard down the dunes but didnt fancy flyin...

I have spent the last couple of days in Noosa. It's a lovely place, the weather still isn't great, very cloudy but still warm and mostly dry. It's the school holidays at the moment and I thought it was only us crazy Brits that went to the beach when it's not even sunny, but the beaches are packed with ozzies sunbathing in the clouds. We were supposed to stop on the way for a walk to see the glass house mountains but it was pouring it down so we could barely see t...

I have been in Brisbane the last 3 days but unfortunately it has rained almost the whole time! We spent the 1st day hiding inside because the rain was torrential but ventured our yesterday for retail therapy. Today I went on a walking tour (the rain held off until the end) and then we went on the big wheel to learn a bit more about the city! The rest of our time we have spent playing cards! Xxx

They also had an animal section where we got to pet kangaroos and I cuddled a koala!Unfortunately the weather is a bit miserable today as we...

Last day in Byron Bay today. We spent the first day relaxing on the beach as it was nice and sunny. Went snorkelling 'with turtles' yesterday, but unfortunately the turtles didnt come out to play, so I guess it was just snorkelling!! Today we walked up to the lighthouse via the most easternly point of Australia. It was a bit of an uphill trek but well worth it when we could see huge humpback whales playing just of the coast. We spent a while there just watching a...
