May 30th (Saturday) - Day 90 - Surfers ParadiseIn one last act of kindness, Gill and Wayne gave us a lift down to Surfers. Once we arrived we drove up to the spit and took Millie for a walk down a spit which went out to sea. From there we got our first look at surfers. Huge sky scrapers lined the place. We then went to our hostel to check in. It was not ready so we dumped our bags and went down and sat on the beach for a few hours. Once we could we checked in and...

May 23rd (Saturday) - Day 83 - Noosa and BrisbaneAfter a lie in and a very hung over start we wandered down to the beach just as it started to rain. We tried to ride it out but it carried on so we went back to the hostel. We watched some TV and waited for our bus to Brisbane. As soon as we got on the bus the sun came out! We later found out that the beach had been closed minutes after due to a huge tidal surge. We arrived in Brisbane where we were staying with Sa...

May 20th (Thursday) - Day 81 - NoosaAfter a nice lay in we jumped on the Bus to Noosa. We arrived at 3pm checked into our hostel and pottered around town.

We then walked over to Noosa junction to have a look around there. That evening we joined the welcome meeting (only because of the free wine) and then sat and wat...

May 18th (Monday) - Day 78 - Hervey BayAfter a long long night on the bus we arrived in Hervey bay about half 9. We got a free pick up and taken to the hostel The place was dead. I expect mainly because Hervey bay is a staging area for Fraser Island and as such no one stays more than 1 night. We had the place to ourselves. We settled in and then went in search of a Fraser Island trip. We did not want to do a self drive (which is the most popular) so we had to fin...

May 13th (Wednesday) - Day 73 - Journey to Airlie BeachA bus, ferry and another bus later we arrived in Airle beach without incident. Found our hostel and checked in. We had not booked a trip as of yet and managed to find an amazing deal on a boat called summer time. Down from 600 dollars to 400. We had a walk around Airle beach which took all of 10 minutes, taking in the sights including the lagoon. That evening we took advantage of the hostel pizza deal before ...
