Tuesday 9th February In the morning Lisa and I got the shuttle bus into town to get our washing done and grabbed some brunch. A couple of hours later we made it back to the swimming pool at the hostel and chilled making the most of the sun before our night bus. We chatted to a guy called James who had done tons of travelling and invited him to make pancakes with us as no other nationalities there seemed to be celebrating pancake day. This year I've given up choc...

Monday 8th February In the morning I got up and went for a wander around the grounds. It was beautiful to be away from the town and see fields of green all around. The hostel rooms were wooden type huts named after different countries, we were staying in Sweden.

There was als...

Fraser Island - Day 3 & Sunday Saturday 6th February It was a fairly early morning start again, we were in the cars and ready to go at 8am this time though. First port of call was Lake wabby.

What we didn't know at the time was that Joe was still drunk from the nig...

Fraser Island - Day 1 Thursday 4th February We woke up super early and feeling super tired after hardly any sleep the night before. Strange antics were going on in our 16 bed dorm some of which included someone playing a harmonica, somebody sleep talking, somebody having a shower at 2am and getting ready like they were off back on a night out and someone shouting to a girl on the other side of the room they wanted a massage. I was pleased to check out to say th...
