Got up around 8am today, and got ready and packed our bags, and caught a taxi into town, where we bought tickets for a bus into Brisbane and a train into Bundaberg. We went to the Great Northern for a few beers before we left, then bought a 6pack and a few snacks from the bakery for the ride. On the drive into Brisbane, we met a couple of German guys, who we chatted to for most of the way. Got into Brisbane after a stopover in Surfers Paradise. When we got to Bri...

Got up around 10am today, got dressed etc, and packed our bags up. Got a bus into Surfers Paradise and had a look around for a while trying to find somewhere for lunch with BYO, but ended up heading back to Broadbeach and going to Lola’s (the café we went to on the first day in Surfers) then jumped back on a bus into Surfers.

You could put your hand in the water and touch the rays, which was pretty cool, they felt so silky! After this we headed to Dolphin Cove, for the dolphin show, where the dolphi...

Woke up by chance at 7am, forgot to set an alarm! Showered and dressed, then both feeling a bit worse for wear headed out the front. Got picked up at 8am by a tour bus. We got on and it was full of oldies! We headed down to Byron Bay for the day, stopping first for morning tea of tea and cake at a rest area off the highway. When we got to Byron Bay, we first went to the lighthouse and had a lookout at the easternmost point of the Australian mainland! Saw some dol...
