We arrived at Hervey Bay Transit Centre at 7am and had to wait an hour for our connection Greyhound bus to Rainbow Beach. I went to get some coffee while we were waiting. The Greyhound bus was on time and we headed to Rainbow Beach. It took around 2 hours. We checked into our hostel - Frasers on Rainbow Beach where we are staying for 1 night. We got settled and then got some sleep as we were really tired. At 2pm we had to go to the bar to check in for our 3 day 4...

We are travelling through the night on the Greyhound bus from Airlie Beach to Hervey Bay. It took around 12 hours to get there. It was the longest bus journey ever. We watched a film on the bus but as we were so tired from the Whitsundays sailing trip all we wanted to do was sleep. We stopped for 30 minutes at 10pm for a break and to eat some food. Then it was a straight run through the night. We slept for most of the journey but I woke up when we stopped for the...

Today we got up at 6.30am and had some breakfast. Then the skipper turned on the engines and we started moving. It was very windy and rough on the boat. Gina and I were both sick.

The water wasn't very clear as the sea was rough so no one could see much coral. We did some real sailing and had to sit on the edg...

Everyone got up early this morning and were having breakfast around 6am. Then the skipper turned on the engines and we started moving. Gina and I fell back asleep and then when the boat had stopped the skipper shouted to us to get up as we were leaving the boat. No one had told us what time we had to get up so we were a bit annoyed when we had to rush to get dressed and get our things together. We didn't even have time to get some breakfast. We had stopped around...

Today we got up ready to check out of the hostel at 10am. We had to put our luggage in storage for 3 days as we are doing the Whitsundays sailing trip today and you can only take a small rucksack onboard. We went on the internet for a bit and then went to get some snacks and alcohol for the trip. We got some lunch and then walked down to the Shute Harbour where we picked up the sailing boat from. We are on the Mandrake boat for 3 days and there are 15 of us in to...
