Katie:Left Magnetic Island and made our way to Cairns, our final stop on the Oz Experience bus. On the way to Cairns we stopped off at a Crocodile Farm which was loads of fun if not a bit scary! We walked around watching these crocodiles being fed- they were absoultely huge! The owner was a nutjob and sat on the biggest croc and placed his hat on his head. They were really fiesty creature- one bit the workers rake in half. Arber was a lot braver than me (I jumped...

Took the Oz bus from Airlie to Townsville, happy to leave behind the bed bugs of Airlie Beach (they were gross & we got quite a few bites) but less happy to leave behind the people we have met. Arrived in Townsville at 2pm ready to catch the ferry across to Magnetic Island and thankfully the rain was finally coming to an end. Arrived on the island and took the bus to our hostel Base, a wonderful hostel right on the beach with little cabins with good views. We...

On board there were 6 other passengers (all of which were German) and the Skipper Steve and our host Camille. We sailed to Hook Island where we anchored for the night. After eating a fab dinner cooked by Camille we spend the evening playing cards & poker. We woke up the...

We left Hervey Bay at 7am ready to make our way to Krombit a cattle ranch. We had a brilliant steak lunch on arrival & then I managed to pluck up the courage to horse ride which is quite an achievement for me- not only did both Arber & I get on a horse each (mine was called Buttons & his Ledger) we rounded up goats which meant riding our horses up and down many hills trying to watch out for the low lying trees. Once we found the goats we surrounded th...

We arrived at Hervey Bay ready to start our camping trip in Fraser Island. We had our briefing and met our group, thankfully we got a brilliant group. There was 8 of us altogether, Me, Arber, Sam & Nick, two Irish Guys- Mark & 'Gerry from Derry' and two Swedish girls Lyn & Hannah. After hiring our sleeping bags, us complete with all of our luggage piled into a 4WD to go and collect our camping equipment. We loaded our van perfectly thanks to A...
