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. We didn't really have much in common with any of them, so it was quite difficult at times. We stil...

Hi everyone, Well we are now in a small place called Hervey Bay. I have no idea what its like as we only arrived this morning and have just popped into town for half an hour. We left you in Airlie, which was great fun. The guys from our dorm have been brilliant - we are still with them! Through pure coincidence we left Airlie with them on the same day on the same bus and arrived at the same hostel together in 1770, left together this morning on the same bus ...

It was allrather too civilised for us though, so we made up for it last night back on land! Surpize, surprize! We have some rather interesting dorm buddies with us this time... Ple...

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 ...

Dear All, We finally made it to Cairns! We made it about 4 days later than we thought because we got caught up with the Australian Army in Darwin... Long story - but good fun though!! So we have arrived in our 4th state. The East coast, where the fun really starts! We are chilling out on the beach for the next couple of days, then we are going up to Cape Tribulation and partying up there for 3 days over the weekend, then we come back down to Port Douglas a...
