Back on the road again after an extremely quick 2 nights in Noosa. We arrived on Tuesday the 7th and thankfully our hostel Nomads done transfers from the bus station with their wee shuttle bus so lift to the hostel! Although tbh it's only a 10 minute walk.... We had a very chilled 1st night, got some shopping in made use of the kitchen facilities to try and save some money (although it wasn't the best or cleanest kitchen I've been in and Helens food bags got s...

Happy new Year eeeeeek! NYE our little family got together (Simon, Helen, Danny, Chris, Scott) plus Danny's mate Scott M and the one and only LESLEY (my wee bestie arrived from Melbourne wooooo!) and headed off to get a place for the fireworks.

That way we can stay until December. The day before my birthday we borrowe...

We flew up to Emerald from Brisbane - Emerald has to be the smallest airport ever!! Anna our new boss was already waiting to take us to Springsure - about 45 minutes away.
