I spent the last hour of last night trying to persuade someone in my dorm to make me breakfast, let's see if this materialises!!! Yep, I managed to get a cup of tea and egg on toast freshly prepared by my norweigan friend! Caught the ferry back to the mainland and back on the Oz experience bus from Townsville to airlie beach which takes about 4 hours! 1 night in airlie beach before heading off first thing in the morning for my 2 day sailing trip around whitsund...

Well what can I say, during my flight over from Perth to cairns, I was beginning to believe I had been rather ambitious in booking the 'lively' hostel as the effects from yesterday's pink champagne began to set in! I was slightly worried also that I was arriving at Gilligans at 5 am and was not booked in for that night!
