We have arrived at our final destination in australia a few days ago and it was almost sad to say goodbye to the greyhound that has taken us so far! Today it rained but apart from that the weather here in Cairns has been totally amazing. After Magnetic island we headed to mission beach. Our hostel was amazing, so clean (especially the kitchen) and made up for the fact the place was so quiet. Most people do their sky dives in mission beach and so as we were sunbat...

Surfers paradise is a lot like Tenerife and all the other greek and spanish places that get packed in the summer. We spent our first two days just on the beach, sleeping and eating sushi or milkshakes. We also splashed out on an organised...

We have reached the sun and heat! yay! We have been having a fun time relaxing on the beach and with people at our hostel. Byron bay is pretty good with big waves on the beaches and a shipwreck. Again we have met people from back home and also lots of people we met in new zealand which is nice. Unfortunately now we are more north everyone is very tanned and i am not.
