Hi everyone, We spent this weekend on Fraser Island, a little sand dune island off the east coast of Rainbow Beach. Early start on Saturday as we met our group of 10 and then had to get all our equipment and food and load up the van which was harder than you would think. After a quick driver briefing we were on our way to the ferry in our 4wd. We didn't get 500m from the hostel before the first drama occured. Rose anbd Lydia were sitting in the front and Pete...

Hi everyone, Thursday we caught the greyhound to Bundaberg. The journey was short and during the day, a nice change to all the night buses we have been getting. Arrived in Bundaberg just before midday. Bit of a nightmare trying to find some accommodation but in the end we found somewhere for the night. We walked to the rum distillery in the afternoon, and went on a gold vip tour around the factory. The smells were interesting! It was a very informative tour, b...

Nice yellow sand and some waves to make the sea a bit more entertaining. A few surfers were out there to, giving us something to look at...

Walked along the espalade into town and found a nice bar and grill where we sat outside, ate, had a bottle of wine and caught up wit...

Hi everyone. We ended Monday evening by meeting up with Ollie, who we met on the South East Aisa tour. He has been working in Cairns for the past few months. We went down to the pier and found this lovely little fish restaurant, 'Tha Fish'. No expence sapared for Rose and I, we had the full 3 courses! It was gorgeous! Topped the evening off by taking some night photos along the espalade. Tuesday morning came around all too quickly and we were on the mini ...
