I'm baaaackkkk! Flew from Brisbane to Cairns today, just met my roomies. There's uni mates from Melbourne and 2 American girls who are really chatty. Starving so think I'll head to McDonald's then get dressed and head out tonight! Met two girls (Texas and Sweden) who are volunteering at an animal sanctuary in Port Douglas and spent the night having drinks with them as it was one of their birthdays at midnight! When they went back to their rooms I stayed up danci...

I held a koalaaaaaaaaaa (India)!!! Australia Zoo is amazing, spacious enclosures and the animals are very well taken care of. Saw loads of crocodiles and a crocodile show hosted by the Irwin's which was good. Also saw kangaroos, wombats, Tazmanian Devils and loads more native animals!

I like this area and considering I'd heard there wasn't much to do I've found there's just as m...

Got breakfast at Cafe Byron then got the Greyhound bus to Surfers Paradise Gold Coast! Met two girls in reception who are English and we ended up sharing a room - there's 3 bunks with double beds on the bottom and only us in the room by the looks of things which would be brilliant! Balcony and a great view. I went and had a wander to the beach and looked at what was around. Bumped into Kimmyyyy from Absolute Oz! Went for an Italian and iced strawberry cocktails w...
