We spent a few days in Hervey Bay and went on a whale watching trip while we were there! Even just coming out of the harbour, the sights began as turtles and dolphins swam past us! We followed the coast of Fraser Island for a fair distance when we got our first glimpse of a couple of migrating humpback whales. At one point there was a mother and a baby and the baby was learning to tail slap which gave us tons of foto ops but only one came out! Oh well! We had a g...

We were picked up early for our day trip to Fraser Island by our 4x4 coach! The island is the worlds largest sand island and although our little van has been good to us, she had to sit this one out! As you can see from the pictures of this place, it was just amazing! This is one of the places they filmed Walking with Dinosaurs! The extremes were fascinating, from dense rainforest to beaches like the one on the pics! We walked through crystal clear creeks and got ...

WOOHOO! We had a...

We have just completed our 25th consecutive day of work, averaging 10 hours a day and it's safe to say that we both feel like s***! Count yourselves lucky that we came to the internet and didn't just go straight to sleep! Our next plan is to leave the van at Brisbane airport for a few days while...

Oasis Berries! The first thing we noticed when we walked onto the farm was the lack of non Asians! We were offered a job picking, starting the next day! We accepted but really were out of place but as you all know, we like a challenge! We are living on the farm and the facilities are fantastic! There is a huge kitchen, a dining room, pool table, table tennis, we are pretty spoilt here! The only problem being that the asians who we live with (I would hate to gener...
