Surf Camp, Barrington Tops and Taree 29th August - 3rd September The rain continued for our next few days on the Oz Experience for some wet and wild adventure! We were lucky again (as we were in Kroombit) to get a good bus driver called Gollum due to his uncanny impression of the Lord of the Rings creature. We were also with a nice small group of people. We didn't make many stops on the way to surf camp in Crescent Head, apart from to gaze in awe at the bi...

Byron Bay 24th-28th August On our way to Byron Bay on the Oz Experience, our first stop was zorbing - i.e. rolling down a hill in an inflatable wet plastic ball like a hamster in Telly Tubby land! It was extremely silly and fun as you can tell from the pictures! We were slightly disturbed at the end to be 'reborn' as zorbenaughts when we jumped back out. As we made our way down the Gold coast we stopped off at Surfer's Paradise - a beautiful beac...

Brisbane 21st - 23rd August It was just a short trip on the bus to Brisbane, stopping off at Wild Horse Mountain to catch a glimpse of the setting sun behind the Glass House Mountains. It was very strange entering civilisation again after spending a month away from it. Brisbane was very pleasant, clean and artistic in places for a city. We did a short river cruise, taking in the sites and learning about the history and its rise to the city of...

Noosa 17th - 20th August Noosa is renound for being an upmarket town and is often described as "The" place to be seen! Feeling too cool for "God's waiting room" (aka Hervey Bay), we knew where to go next! On our way South we stopped off at Rainbow Beach to learn some native skills, playing the didgeridoo and throwing a boomerang! When in Noosa, the first thing we did was leave! Only temporarily, visiting Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo for the d...

Hervey Bay and Fraser Island 14th - 16th August On our first day we went on a day long whale watching trip as it was peak season to do so. It certainly was worth the trip as we lost count of the amount of Humpbacks we saw. Some even passed right by and underneath the boat, checking us out with their big old eyes! Anyway you'll get the idea from all the pics! Next day we began our 2 day adventure on the World's largest sand island, Fraser Island. We w...
