We actually had to back-track a little on our trip, as we had a canoeing trip down in the Noosa Everglades, but had trouble ensuring the dates. After Rainbow Beach we travelled down to Noosa National Park with Danny and Vikki and spent the day just wandering around the stunning beaches. We were in Noosa for Australia day aswel, which was pretty cool, and they had a huge blow-up Havaianas world record thing in the sea. That evening we made our way to the Noosa Bus...

Its now up to the 21st of Jan, and we are 1625km up the East Coast to Rainbow Beach, where we have to arrive by 5pm to have our briefing for Fraser Island. We met up with Polly and Lindsay again, and met a fab couple, Danny and Vikki (we met by comparing vans - they had one of the 'Wicked' vans and its painted black and red with pictures of Alice Cooper on the side and 'Welcome to my Nightmare' written on the back! They just looked hilarious getting out of it! ...

After Surfer's, we made our way up to the beautiful city of Brisbane. We met up with a friend Alex, and hit the town. We went for a few very funny drinks at a backpackers bar where they placed 80's/90's music videos - brilliant, and then headed for The Valley.

On the 10th January we arrived in the stunning Byron Bay - we had driven 1050km, and decided to stay here for a few nights. We knew we were going out that first night with Andy's friends, Polly and Lindsay, so decided to go for a campsite in town, rather than paying for taxis. However, the cheapest Campsite was $50!! Oh my god - I couldn't believe it! $50 for a rubbish little plot of land! Ridiculous! To make up for it, we spent the next two night sleeping on the...

Hello!! And Merry Christmas!! Out of all my fellow travellers, I think I had the nicest Chrsitmas plans - going to stay with Claire and Mat in Wang!! I was given a lift to Wang on the Saturday with Mollie and Krystal (Mollie I partied with the night before - don't worry - she wasn't driving), and arrived there in the afternoon ready for a BBQ. It was fab - family and friends came round and Mat cooked far too much gorgeous food, whilst I drank beer and got to kno...
