Town of 1770 is named after the year Captain Cook discovered Australia. It is still a very small place but has now become popular with backpackers. 1770 is the original town but because there isn't much there we actually stayed in Agnes Water, which is slightly bigger and is where all the hostels are. They are pretty much the same place though. We arrived early evening when it was already dark, and it looked like there was nothing there because it was so small. W...

This will just be a quick entry because there isn't much to say about Hervey Bay. We were only really there because it is the biggest the gateway to Fraser Island, and only stayed there for one day after we got back from the trip. We got back from Fraser in the afternoon and were so tired that we just chilled out for the rest of that day.

We arrived in Noosa early afternoon after a fairly short ride from Brisbane and when we got off the bus, shock horror, it was boiling hot! I knew I would like it there straight away. The weather has finally started to improve and it hasn't rained in ages which is great. We went straight to the hostel to check in and then headed down to the beach. The hostel is really nice and we had a great room, but it was a bit of a trek down to the front. We had to walk up a m...

We didn't arrive in Brisbane until about 12 at night but the coach journey from Surfer's Paradise had been surprisingly quick. I didn't even get time to nap. The hostel had stopped doing pick ups by this time so we waited for ages at the bus station to get a taxi. After we had been waiting for about 45 mins someone at the station decided to tell us the taxis had stopped ages ago, so we had to walk down to the street and hail one but it took us ages to get anyone ...
