Ive actually got money to use the internet now, because i have a job....so i can finally update this. Ive got a lot to write about, so ill have to finish it another time.

After my last blog, we booked a campervan for two weeks...so we could head up to cairns from brisbane, we figured it would save money too, we were wrong! It was well worth it though.

I wrote a little blog on my mobile (sad) every day while we were on our road trip so i wouldnt forget what we did. Ill write it below this. After the birthday party in byron we didnt get up to much, just looked for work...figuring we werent going to get any, we booked the van and got a bus from byron to brisbane. I had to wait in brisbane on my own with a ton of luggage while sandy and alex collected the van! So...heres what we got up to.......Its not that exciting, just to warn you....

15.6.09 - Brisbane to Noosa

Drove to Noosa, went shopping and then stopped in a random carpark near the beach. We were told by some fellow campers that other campers had been awoken at a very early hour in the morning by the council...but we thought we would risk it. Had some food, played uno, watched southpark and went to our bed...my bed was used up by all the luggage so 3 of us had to sleep in the double bed (Cosey).

16.6.09 ....we were woken up at 7am by the council, telling us we had to move because it was illegal. So sandy got up and drove 100 yards to the beach...we parked up and had b/fast. We spent all day on main beach chilling out. In the evening we bought some beer, played uno and had some food, then drove to a random road to spend the night (risky)

17.6.09 - Noosa to Rainbow Beach ...had a rubbish night sleep, and we found out the cooker broke so we spent pretty much all day driving round finding someone to fix it! (broken regulator - $147) Parked up next to a lake and had good old eggs and toast...saw a manta ray too! Set off at 1ish to rainbow beach..stopped off at beach for sunset, then moved onto a campsite seeing as we didnt want to get fined. I hid in the back so they would only charge for two people (hard times). Had a nice hot shower, cooked chicken curry and had a early night.

18.06.09 - Rainbow Beach to Hervey Bay (Billy's 16th) Woke up at 9ish, had b/fast and set off at 11am, it was raining!!! so no beach today. Now in Hervey bay, had lunch near the beach. Went to tourist info centre...for some...yep info! Drove to yha hostel/campsite....i hid again. It was too expensive so we got our money back..found another place to stay on the side of the road again. Had spag bol..then spoke to billy on the phone to say happy birthday. Watched the spirit, then went to bed. 19.6.09 - Hervey Bay Alex decided to go to fraiser island for the day...me and sand couldnt afford it and want to go for the 3 day tour so we had to wait for her all day! great fun! Played table tennis and tennis for a bit...went on net and laid by the pool! a hard day! Went food shopping, had tea, watched southpark and went to bed. (Stayed in the yha campsite for free...we didnt book, just drove in and parked up..ha)
