After a few hours, we arrived in suburbian Surfers Paradise - the city on the sea. We jumped off the greyhound and walked a couple of hundred metres round the corner to our new hostel/hotel. As we did so, we were greeted with overwhelming screams and shouts. These were not for us, however. They were the local 'Schoolies' (aka 16/17year old kids who had just broken up from school) running around terrorising the locals and generally having a good time. We all chuck...

After a short-ish journey from Noosa, we arrived happy and feeling fresh in Brisbane, despite the horrible weather. We had already booked our accommodation to tie in with the Lukes so we managed to get picked up from the bus station and taken to our accomodation. Unbeknown to us, however, there were two hostels owned by the same company and, of course, we were meant to be staying in the other one. Consequently, we spent about an hour checking into the right hoste...

We immediatley bumped into some friends from along the way (sarah, spread and phil)-we was all taken to the actual Rainbow Beach which is known for its multicoloured rocks (hence the name) and is basically plonked in the middle of the rainforest, where we all watched the sunset and caught up on what happened on their ...

After a reasonable journey on the Greyhound, we arrived in Airlie Beach early evening. Accommodation was much needed therefore we looked around a couple of hostels and managed to check into one called Magnums; which we decided would be for one night only. After a quiet night in, we checked out of Magnums and moved on to another hostel called Koalas which was a lot nicer! We decided to do a little bit of exploring and wandered down to the local lagoon which was v...

On our last day at Rainbow Beach, we rembered that our free kayaking trip(which we got through booking the Whitsundays and fraser island) was not valid as you had to book it 14 days in advance, something we forgot to do! So we headed to noosa not knowing what to do! After asking around, we found out that Australia Zoo is cheaper to do from noosa than anywhere else. That evening, a massive thunder storm started so we thanked ourselves that we forgot to book Kayaki...
