13/02/09Got up at 6:15 to get the 6:30 greyhound. Got to the bus just in time, apparently the driver was panicing that if we left too late the bridge half an hour down the road would be flooded so he was getting a bit stressed out. Attempted to sleep again with no luck and had a break at half 9, Pat and I got a Chicken sandwich, Burns got a pie which caused me to get a pie as well, and he then followed suit with a second. Finally arrived at Rainbow Beach at 12:30...

11/02/09Got on the bus at just after midnight thinking that it was fully booked and we would all be allocated seats. When we got on we were ecstatic to find that there were hardly any people on yet so we all got double seats to ourselves. After we'd been sitting down for a minute and all got into comfy sleeping positions some random girl asked me if the seat next to me was taken, I replied with in a pretty non friendly fassion hoping she would find somewhere else...

02/02/09Managed to get about an hours sleep, we had to pick up some people on the way that the previous greyhound had just dropped off in the middle of nowhere at 2am because it couldn't continue due to flooding.

30/01/09Somehow I had managed to fall asleep, must have been at about 4am, I woke up at half 7 and didn't know what to do with myself as my entire body was itching like mad. Eventually the others woke and we put our stained clothes in the wash then spent the morning taking it in turns to look after our bags while the others went to do things in town. I got my hair cut by some eastern European woman, who decided to shave the fluff off my ears as she was trimming a...

27/01//09We had to get up at 6, pack all our things and head off to the meeting at 0630. Basically the entire meeting was just telling us to be Dingo safe and informing us how to pack the 4x4 safely and drive it properly. Just before we were about to leave we were told that all drivers must wear shoes, so everyone had to dig out their shoes from the back of the storage room. The guy showing us how to change from 4wd to 2wwd couldn't get the gear back in to the 2w...
