Bula!!! Wow i thought Thailand was fabulous but this place is pure paradise! I took the 4.5 hour ferry ride to blue lagoon which stops near the islands and the locals come and collect you on their little boat as to not damage the coral reefs! We were greeted by all the staff singing a welcome song on the beach and handing us fruity drinks!

Each of the stories are heart breaking as even if White men didn't massacre the people, aboriginals often died of the diseases they brought! I was also fortunate enough to ...

Finally ran away from the east coast showers and Melbourne is boiling so having a beach day! Just met katerina, a biology student from Belgium on the tram so have myself a beach buddy! St kilda beach is a bay so it's strange to not see the surfers performing on the waves!!!
