Ok so today is my last day in Australia! What fun I've had and also what calamities I've faced! I left my hostel in Brisbane, walked to the American Express branch and picked up my money transfer. I changed my money to Fijian and got on the airtrain to the airport. I checked-in and then hung around in the departures lounge. I was bored so I bought a newspaper: "The Australian", there was a huge 20 page pull-out section on...Scotland! I got on my Air Pa...

Today we got up early packed up our tents etc, had breakfast weetabix and long life milk (yuk!) and drove to Lake Wabby. It was an exhausting 40 minute trek and the toilets were shambolic!

We got out endured another safety video and then started to pile all our bags, food and more importantly "eskies" (oz word for cool bag full of beer). Sarah (an arrogant, busybody, paranoid girl from Weston-Super-Mare) drove us to the ferry port with her toyboy boyfriend Alex in the front (he's 5 years younger than her). I...

I woke up this morning, had a shower and then went outside to the washing line to collect my clothes. Hang on, there's only 2 t-shirts and a pair of socks. The rest of the line is bedding sheets the cleaners have put out.
