Hi everyone! Wow! Can't believe it's only three days til xmas!!! Hope everyone's ready for it! We arrived in Surfers Paradise on Wednesday, the bus from brisbane only took an hour so that was one of our better journeys!!! At the transit centre we had half an hour to spare before the hostel bus would pick us up. So I dashed to the supermarket to stock up on some essentials - food!!! Our hostel seemed to be a bit out of the way of town but they did provide regular...

Hello all Just a quick note to let you know that we added 2 blogs and 2 photo albums earlier this week (Whitsunday Is. & Fraser Is.) so if your especially bored you can check these out in the relevant files at the top of the screen. We arrived in a very humid Brisbane on Sunday after a nice bus journey down from Hervey Bay. We checked into our hostel & set out to get some food as we were absolutely famished! We headed into the city and after stuffing ou...

Our bus arrived at 5.55 in the morning and l...

Instead it kind of resembled Newquay with loads of bars, restaurants & fast food place...

Hi everyone! How are you all doing? We have spent the last few days in fun filled Cairns. We caught an internal flight from Perth around half past midnight which took us to Cairns via Melbourne. We arrived in a very humid Cairns about eleven the next day. Our hostel came and picked us up from the airport and we checked into our double room. Finally some privacy from the dorms we have been sleeping in - it feels like luxury not sharing with anyone apart from Gavin...
