J: Next morning we all set off to Currimbin point which was our favourite beach location. We rented a couple SUP boards and got the guys onto the water. Mel was doing really well as she is scared of the sea but sat and took the board along the shore. Then Yuri jumped straight in at the deep end and tried to play in the surf with me. When a wave took the board from under him, his legs went flying in the air and he ripped his boardie's the length of the crotch. Th...

J: For the next part of the East Coast trip Yuri and Mel flew over to join us. Meeting up with old faces was great and some long hugs where in order. We met them at the rental place to find out what our transportation was going to be like as they kindly organised it for us. What rolled up was unexpected.... A massive RV! We have stayed in smaller houses than this thing over the last few months, it had a kitchen area, toilet, shower and slept 4 comfortably. I was...

S: So while Lauren and Co. left for England, we got to house sit with a glorious pool and Molly the Boxer (Who is very cute by the way!)

The first weekend we headed back to Brisbane and went to the Market as James wanted to buy a phone case he had seen whilst there previously. We walked around the ...

J: We stopped at Noosa on our journey and it was a lovely little town on the sea side with the everglades inland slightly. We all wanted to try stand up paddle (sup) boarding. So we hired some boards and got a quick intro on the basics. The boards were huge, 11 feet long, but Georgie and I got the more advanced boards which were thinner than Sam's and Marika's, I don't know why I ended up on one as Marika wanted to practice her balancing. But off we set and it w...

S: So we all got up excited and raring to go. Bags were packed, lunch made and the Esky (cool box) was packed, locked and ready to roll to Fraser Island- the world's largest sand island. We met Danny our guide who looked a little bit like Captain Jack Sparrow so we nicknamed him Aussie Jack, he was a very laid back guy but knew his stuff inside out about the island. James was volunteered to drive first and we put Kev-the-Roo in place on the dashboard, introduced...
