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. They all seemed a little pissed off, but we finally arrived in Airlie Beach at about half 6, thus missing the free shuttle bus ride to the Koala hostel at 0615, so we had to walk all the way to the hostel, which to be fair wasn't a long walk, but we had ...

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.

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.

The guy showing us how to change from 4wd to 2wwd couldn't get the gear back in to the 2w...

25/01/09Up early yet again to rush around and stuff everything in to our bags as quickly as possible to get the 0935 Greyhound. Said bye to my shorts...a very sad day for me. Pat and Rich got a pie and a sausage roll, they stole a spoon so Coops could have a rice yoghurt thing I got hungry and had to get an apple, Helen managed not to eat anything, I think she must have been secretly snacking on chocolate. The greyhound stopped after about an hour and wouldn't st...

22/01/09Got up and walked to the kitchen to try and find some food in the free food fridge for breakfast. Jackpot! I found a whole loaf of wholemeal bread and some coles own brand butter, so I had 4 slices of toast and stole the rest of the bread. Went back to the room and packed all my stuff away then we checked out before going to PeterPans to get half an hour of free internet. The place wasn't open until 10am so Pat and I waited in the lobby studying a map of ...
