Just a quick entry from Byron Bay! I uploaded the rest of the pictures from Noosa (more Australia Zoo ones, check them out, they're fab!) and Brisbane. For some reason the computer didn't add them all last time! After leaving Brisbane (spent 5 nights there and loved it, despite hearing very mixed reports from other travellers we met!) Kathryn, Zoe and I headed for Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. We stayed in another apartment-style hostel and had a lot of ...

Fraser Island/Noosa/Brisbane Hi everyone! Lots to fill you in on since my last update from Airlie Beach.

The hostel we stayed at organises the trips out to the island, w...

It was a nice chilled day walking through the rainforests and chilling in Waterfalls. One of the waterfalls we went to ...

New Year in Sydney/ Gold Coast and Brisbane/ Cairns Hello and Happy New Year from wet and soggy Cairns! Usually I take great pleasure in telling you all how amazing the weathers been but it can't be said for here, it is wet season though so I suppose it should be expected. There is a cyclone off the coast at the moment and that's where all the rain is coming from...and boy is there a lot of it! The weather hasn't been all bad though, it was beautiful while I was...
