The Whitsundays The last part of our package booking was a 2 day, 2 nights sailing trip around the Whitsunday islands where we got to see some beautiful white beaches, dabbled in scuba diving and snorkling in the Great Barrier Reef and had some good nights where we partied and slept on the boat. 1. The crew - We first were introduced to one of the crew members (David the volunteer) when he strutted past us introducing himself to the ladies in a Fonse esc fashio...

Southern Cross backpackers - This was our hostel wh...

Surfers Paradise and Brisbane Over the last 6 days we have seen the 'Miami want to be' Surfers Paradise and the awesome city of Brisbane which are on the Gold Coast. Surfers had lovely golden beaches which went right up to the edge of the city skyscrapers, which made it a bit more unique to all the other beaches we had seen, and Brisbane was just a great city and Hans family were really kind to us so we had an awesome stay! This was also the point where we joine...
