got the bus at 7.40 to take me to Brisbane, it was a 5 hour journey and when I arrived it was a bit weird being in a big city, first time in Australia and it looked really nice, it felt very American the high rise buildings and the roads are very wide and you can only cross the road at traffic lights because it's so big. Got to my hostel which was located very helpfully just up from the transit centre, meaning the bus and train station. Checked in and it's a ni...

woke up yet again with another goon hangover, the 5th in 7 days to be precise. We packed up and left the camp for the last time and headed to lake wappy. The lake was in a secluded area on the island. We Parked at the beach, had a 40 minute walk through a forest to get to some sand dunes and a lake, such a weird formation this island. The lake was really nice and because after the long walk in humid weather it was common for people to run down the sand dune an...

I got a free beer just for changing groups, which I drank straight away, and would you bel...

My surf lesson was at 9.30 so I got to the shop for pick up, there was a middle aged woman and a guy with two kids also having a lesson and we were all given a wet suit. We got driven to the end of the beach and because it curls round it meant the waves were not as rough so it was a lot easier than if we were getting the wind and waves. We were each allocated a surfing board, and he ran through the main points by demonstrating and making us pracice on the ground...
