We left good old Kroombit today to make our way to Airlie Beach on a 10 hour coach journey. It was possibly the most boring day our of the whole trip; so nothing much to report back on I'm afraid! We went to bed early so we could get up at 3 to watch the footie. We set our alarms and were all excited about watching the match as the atmosphere downstairs was wicked and then... The ******** on the door wouldn't let us in. We couldnt believe it, it was a 3am lockout...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! We caught the Oz Bus to Kroombit today - a cattle ranch in the middle of nowhere; I can't explain how remote this place is; we drove for two hours and didn't see A THING. NOT ONE SINGLE THING. Anyway we arrived at Kroombit at about 1430 and it was really surreal. We checked into our little stable-like-rooms and were taken up the road for our cattle-station-activities! On the way up we were speaking to one of the girls who works there; she li...

GOOD MORNING CAMPERS! OUR LAST DAY ON FRASER! I woke up in pain and tired again as it chucked it down ALL night. Alex even woke up in a pool of water.

Anyway, we spent most of today sunni...

We spent today doing pretty much the same as yesterday, checking out the island - we went to Indian Head (lookout) where the sunset was gorgeous; all red/orange/pink/purple! The weather wasn't that great and started to rain after supper so we all took cover and hid from the rain and bloody...

This morning we were up at 0530 to start our exciting trip to Fraser Island (biggest sand island in the world). We booked ourselves into a trip where you are put in groups of 8, given a 4x4, camping equipment and allowed to do whatever (well...) you want for 3 days! We had to hand over another whole load of money (gr) and watch a couple of 'safety' videos, mainly about wild dingoes who have the potential to kill (a few years ago a nine year old boy was killed by ...
