I was quite excited this morning as I had to get up early so that I could go on a 3 day trip on Fraser Island in a 4x4 car with 2 nights camping on the beach. The only problem with this trip was that I would have to drive an 8 seater Toyota Land Cruiser and not my usual Land Rover Discovery, so please don't tell anyone that I know. First things first, we all has to watch a safety video on off road driving, which they couldn’t get to play and then sign...

I had breakfast on my own this morning as Emma and Jane had not surfaced from their beds which also gave me some time to do some laundry here at the hostel as I wasn't sure when I would be next somewhere with laundry facilities.I finally saw Emma and Jane at around 11:30 and we went into town for some lunch before we said our goodbyes as they had to catch their bus up to Airlie beach.

No alarm this morning, woo hoo!!!I was just planning my day and where I would go and get this big steak from, which was now long overdue especially after my great dinner last night, when I got a text message from Emma and Jane (who I had spent 4 weeks in China with). The message said that they would arrive in Hervey Bay today and be there for a couple of days only before heading up to Airlie Beach and would I be around to meet up with them finally?So it was a qu...
