We arrived in the morning from a horrible night bus. We had a drunk man sitting behind us who wanted to keep everyone awake! At Gilligans hostel we were told that we couldn't check in until 1pm, this wasnt the best news we had. We were both starving so we took a wonder around and come across a McDonalds...perfect place to brighten up anybodys day. After we went back to the hostel and chilled in the tv lounge area. Thankfully the tennis was on so we watched th...

We were told what we needed for the night and informed of our flight time. We were flying at ...

Rainbow is a lovely place with local shops and restaurants doing some good business. We had our briefing for the tour that afternoon where we would meet the people who...

Our first day in Noosa we went to Australia Zoo. There was a free bus from the hostel which was good as tickets were quite expensive. It was a good day though! We went to the 'Crocoseum' which was awesome. Terry, Bindi and Robert Irwin were presenting the show. Bindi fed a crocodile which jumped out of the water which was crazy as she is only 13 and we saw 2 death rolls. They are massive, under the water they look small but when they jump out you get to see the r...
