I know, this is terribley confusing...i'm back up North of Byron Bay in Coolangatta on the Gold Coast. We arrived here late last night after searching for the YHA Olivia and I are staying at, for the 'Quicksilver Pro' Surf competition...just for today. I'll just give a bit of a run down of what has happened so far on our time on the road: 1st night - Slept in the boys van, which they kindly squeezed us into (very grateful chaps!)...we woke up on a lovely re...

Hi again gang, Thought i'd do a little update before we leave Surfers, not sure when i'll get on the internet after that! Most days Olivia and I spend walking into town, doing a spot of shopping (without spending the money ofcourse), and going out in the evenings!

Hello Fans and Friends, it's time again for another update on my life. I have officially left Noosa now, after three lovely months.

We were regulars ;) By then we'd be so hot and just jump in the river and sunbathe all morning and afternoon! I did get badly burnt though and i'm still peeling two weeks on. Yes! I d...

Hi gang, Just a small update on the many adventures of Isobel in Australia. I write this now at midday, and it's bloody boiling. I don't believe we'll be doing much today purely because it's too hot! A bit different to all the snow at home, hey? Having a good time with the Olds out here, we've been to a Rodeo, out on a countless number of walks and got back from a great day out on a boat yesterday. We spend the whole day driving around, stopping off at dif...
