Hey all, I got to Brisbane on the Thursday after Australia Zoo. My hostel was above a pub, called the Prince Consort. Was fairly tired so went to bed early. Stayed n Brisbane for 5 days. There was some really nice parts but I wouldn't say its my favourite city. My hostel was in the night club part of it, and its not always fun to go out on your own. hey did you know it is illegal to drink alcohol on Good Friday unless it is with a meal. Hence, all the night c...

From Noosa to Australia Zoo.. no rest for the wicked. Missed my greyhound bus from noosa so i managed to blag myself onto a transfer coach that was going to the zoo. Arrived there in the morning.. Australia Zoo, home of the crocodile hunter... As soon as you enter the gates you get the overwhelming feeling of sadness.. I never watched Steve Irwin but within the first ten minutes I wish i had. He's actually seen as a hero here.. memorials lying everywhere but ...

After Frazer, I went straight on to Noosa Heads, the sunshine coast for a 3 day canoe trip. And boy oh boy do i regret doing that.

Arrived in Hervey Bay on Wed 12 March. From here we would leave for Frazer Island for a 3 day safari. This was a self drive sand island trip. Frazer Island is the world's largest sand island.

The boys were from Ireland, 2 Nialls and Adrian, 3 girls from London, Claudia, Katie and Rachel, 2 Finnish girls Iina and Lotta and 2 French girls Stephanie and Cl...

Tuesday 11 March Left Airlie Beach at Midnight, travelled through the night to a small town called 1770. I heard about this from the guys at Whitsundays so thought I'd give it a shot. Arrived at Cool Banana's at about 10.30am, we got a little bus tour around the town. 1770 has 110 houses, and approximately 80 permanent residents. There is a house with some amazing views, but nothing more than a shack really, that is worth $2million!!!!! Later that day I had the...
