Before we boarded our 3 day boat trip to whitsundays we stopped off at the liquor store and bought 5L of wine and 15 beers to keep me going over the weekend. Sadly the weather was pretty crappy over the three days we were there it rained for two of them... And considering the thing to do on this trip is to sail around the islands, have a few beers on the boat, soak up the sun and enjoy the beaches. The rain kinda meant there wasn't a whole lot to do.! The main at...

So we ended up overstaying a day in Rainbow and missing our bus to 1770... Instead of coming and telling us that we've overstayed a night and making us pay, they let us stay an extra night and tried to charge us in the morning.. Apparently there was too many people in the hostel and they couldn't find us... Well our room would've been a good place to start.! Luckily being late a day didn't effect the tour we booked in 1770, scooteroo. So we woke up the morning of...

Fraser Island. The largest sand island in the world.! Really didn't disappoint. The East side of the island has a beach stretching 110km. 110km of soft sand with loads of 4x4 and large buses bombing down it. Now this trip has been the thing I was most looking forward to on the whole of the East Coast trip. Driving 4x4's along the beach and off road in the national parks. I actually had the best driving stretch on the first day where as it was getting later in the...

The Gold Coast, also known as surfers paradise, I could see why. A long stretch of sandy beach about 4 miles long with perfect white water waves.! It was nice to have a fairly big city built up right on the Coast unlike Melbourne and Sydney which are about 20 minutes or so from the city centre to the coast. There was definitely a young backpacker vibe on the Gold Coast.! Soo many people in the city trying to get us to go out on a bar crawl kinda made it feel a li...

Byron bays definitely a major hippy town.! The small town was full of long haired stoners who as a tradition whip out a few set of drums along the beach at sunset and dance/hop around waving their arms around imitating the waves.. funny sight to see.! The tour we had booked for Byron bay was a bus trip to a small town called Nimbin. Now the bus that rocked up was an old American school bus with horrendous seats. And the suspension was even worse. Think it had be...
