So it's goodbye from Australia, we can't believe we've been here four months, it feels like we've been here four days. We're actually quite sad to leave, we've met some fantastic people, seen some amazing things and had great times, but here's to the next chapter- jungle trekking in Thailand, Temples in Cambodia and Orangutangs in Borneo, oh and fantastic snorkelling in warm Malaysian waters- bring it on! So the last couple of weeks have gone a little like this....

From Fraser Island we headed up the coast to the Whitsundays for our next trip. The Whitsundays are a collection of islands at the start of the Great Barrier reef, they are amazing picture postcard islands with crystal sands and a great underwater world with tropical fish galore. rnWe had a brief stop off at Bundaberg (home to Bundaberg rum, ginger ale and a bunch of fruit picking backpackers) to say a quick hello to our Canadian friends that we met in Sydney.

(there's a chai latte in it for you). Back to Brisbane, now we've done our sales pitch (which i think we need to work on). On the way to Brisbane we had a brief stop o...

Try again. So we decided to leave behind the cold wet weather of Melbourne and head to the sun (or so we thought). Like most of the rest of the world we've been getting wet, wet, wet and unfortunately not through swimming in nice hot waters but rather through paddling ankle deep in the torrential rains we've been having.
