Have arrived in Townsville and have been here about 30 mins, so far it's great. The town isnt the nicest iv been to but you cant complain at all, the great thing about it is the people. All of them are friendly (all 4 iv met) and its looking good for the next couple of days. I may end up getting a job here, if theres one going for an inexperienced 18 year old.Last few days in Cairns were good fun tho. Got better at cooking, chilled by the hostel pool and read...

Right, this will be long as there is a week to cover. You have been warned.Day 1 - We picked up the van from Melbourne to discover that plastered across the side was 'Doof Doof' (as in the noise the van makes) however, anyone who went to Watsons will realise how ironic this.

Went to the Natonal Museum a few...

After saying goodbye to everyone i could find/knew i got an over-priced taxi to the pier. Watched 'Face Off' on the ferry which was great then waited f...

Goose and Maverick (me and Charlie) have split... He's staying in Koh Tao and im going back up to Bangkok for my flight on the 10th. Will be sad leaving the island, as it is one of the most beautiful places i have ever been to, but we had a few good last nights out. The next few days after the Full Moon party we met with Pete, Ben, Lynne and Erin a couple of times to just relax on the beach, have a few nights out and a few meals. We, unfortunately, ended ...
