Hi all, We are now in Newcastle for the lead up to Christmas. Very nice place, lovely hostel and really friendly people. We are just spending the next 4 days on the beach trying to get an even better tan before having to come home! It still doesn't feel like Christmas at all, I think we are just going to write this one off! Anyway - still having fun! Lots of luv H & J

Hi all, Sorry we haven't been on the site for a while, we haven't really had much time recently, or it seems that way anyway! Fraser Island was quite nice. The island itself is beautiful, apart from the flys, spiders, snakes, dingos, jellyfish and sharks... its just a shame we got lumbered with a really bad group of people to spend that 3 days travelling with.

Dear all, Cape Tribulation is fantastic! Just a rainforest, a beach and not much else. We went Jungle swinging on Saturday morning which was great fun as you can see by the photos. Highly recommend a swing through the jungle as the perfect cure for a Friday night hangover!! Diving today was spectacular. We saw sharks, turtles and a few barracuda. The coral reefs are beautiful, though not as colourful as we expected. We are back in Cairns tomorrow and then ...
