Magnetic Island After an epic journey, leaving Echuca behind at 8am, and venturing all the way from Victoria, I arrived on Magnetic Island at around 9pm. I was so tired, all I wanted to do when I got there was sleep, but I stayed up chatting in the bar which overlooked the sea. It was so strange to be sat in shorts again overlooking a beach. The next morning after being woken up by loads of Canadians I hiked to Picnic Bay and looked around the Island a while. I...

Echuca Despite how much everyone moaned about being in Echuca, It is a really nice place and I am definately glad I got to spend time there, despite havig faced floods beforehand!. Echuca is about 2 hours north of Melbourne and is a small traditonal town which reminded me of a western with its old fashioned buildings. It was acutally extremely close to the bush fires, which meant some days we saw the thick smoke line the horizon. The hostel, despite being ver...

The WhitsundayIslands Despite the news of Cyclones and the heavy rainfall that we had seen the whole way up to ArlieBeach, our trip was still going ahead and we were so excited to set sail. The Whitsunday's was by far the most exciting trip on itinerary and it was finally time to go! We walked in the rain to the beach to catch the boat, lumbered with three days worth of clothes and prepared to get wet. When we saw the boat we were on our faces lit up, it was...

The Cattle Station Caz and Sarah caught up with us at 1770, and luckily Caz was feeling a little better by the time we made it to the cattle station. The journey was pretty rocky as we were traveling to a place called Kroombit which was out in the middle of nowhere! But it was by far one of the coolest places I've seen in Australia, it was just so different from what we've experienced already, yet typically Ozzy! We arrived around lunch time which was awesome...

1770 After our excitement on Fraser Island it was nice to get away and actually manage to get some sleep again. 1770 was about a four hour bus journey up the coast that me and Chloe actually did alone as Caz was not very well. It was suppose to be discovered in 1770 which is how it got its name, and was built by female convicts who had no experience in building at all, yet surprisingly did a really good job. All the buildings were old fashioned and the town itse...
