Chopperoo!!!! What a top day I have just had. Only in Australia would they give you a small, yet still deadly motorbike, and take you to a pub. Yes a pub. Anyways I better start the story from the begining. Me, Emma and Toby (Sweedish) and Rach and Tash (Irish) decided to go to a town called 1770 before our Whitsundays trip. Basically you can do two things here. Surf and ride. And I did both. We all did a beginers surf lesson on the beach in the morning. Beacaus...

Next up on my list of things to do in Oz was go to the Whitsunday Islands. Everyone who I'd spoken to told me to go here so I booked a package in Sydney and by luck, so had everyone on my Fraser Island group. After a bloody long 9 hour overnight ride to get to Airlie Beach, had a day of recovery before we started the trip. To say 3 days is a lie, as you dont leave until the late afternoon on the first day anyway, but when we found out that there was 64 of us on a...

Sand, sand and more bloody sand. Welcome to Fraser Island. This has definately been one of the best trips I've been on in Australia. Fraser is basically the biggest sand island in the world ad the best way to get around the place is in a 4x4. A proper 4x4 not some poncy housewife-in-a-land-rover picking the kids up from school 4x4. This was proper off road. In our group of 11 we have 6 Irish (all travelling together), 2 Canadians, 2 Sweedish and myself. Its actua...

Rain, rain, Go away. Its like being back in Britain! I've just got to Brisbane and its still raining, just as it was in Byron Bay and Surfer's Paradise. Ah well because of the naff weather I have done basically nothing all week. I did though attempt to surf the other day when I was in Byron Bay. When I say attempt, I really mean fell flat on my arse for about 2 hours looking like an idiot but we have to start somewhere. Byron Bay was nice, albeit a lot more comm...

Really couldn't be bothered with another 12 hour trip straight to Byron Bay so decided to take it easy for a few days on a beach in a little surf town on Port Macquarie. Granted there is nothing to write about this place apart from the fact that I've met some really intresting people. One in the form of a guy who is on bail for carrying a dangerous weapon after he was jumped by some aboridgines a few week ago so decided to walk around with a knife until he catche...
