We arrived at Airlie Beach (gateway to Whitsundays) on Thursday 4th March 2010 at 9am (only two hours late!), it all worked out in the end and after the longest bus journey yet, overnight for 12 hours we had arrived! The sun was shining and it was absolutely boiling! We checked in with our boat company and were given lovely small hand luggage bags we had to fit our 2 day 2 night items in! No spare space on the boat as we soon saw once we arrived and saw our bedr...

After an early morning wake up from a kind considerate Swedish girl at 5.30am and 7am pancake breakfast we were all a little tired but got the lunch time bus to Agnes Water/Town of 1770, a mere 6 hours!

It had been booked whilst we were in Brisbane in a deal that also included the Whitsundays sailing trip and we were very much looking for...

Not a good start arriving at our hostel to be practically accused of making up a discount voucher we had previously been given by a travel company in...

Only a couple of hours away from Surfers Paradise, Brisbane our home for just a couple of days is a fantastic city. Too many people wrongly assume it's no good so skip straight through on their journey or visit all too breifly (as we did) We instanly got a good feeling about Brisbane the architecture is stunning and there is so much to do and see that a couple of days just is not enough. The city centre, botanical gardens, the south bank area are all well worth a...
