Im actually in the middle of nowhere! I was dropped off to the bus station (which is a shed in the middle of a road) and was left there to find my way to the hostel! All I had was my lonely planet guide.. It was so funny considering I have no sense of direction! Anyway, Ive spent the afternoon on the beach, and managed to burn the tops of my legs. Typical! They are sore now so I have just been to the shop to buy some aloe vera. Ouch! There is no signal for my p...

Settling into my new dorm was fantastic - I met five new people and got on with them really well. It was Tammy's last night with me in Cairns, so we decided to go out for a few drinks with my new room mates. We made our way down to the bar / club, just in time for the '2 for 1' offer..

G'day mates! Driving to the airport in Sydney was an adventure in itself! Im surprised that anyone on that bus got to the airport in one piece! The driver was all over the place, cutting people up, I dont think he knew what a red traffic light meant either! I arrived at the airport with an hour until my flight to Cairns, the time went relatively quickly and before I knew it, I was on the plane for a two and a half hour journey up the east coast. As soon as I ha...

I ended up having dinner cooked for me last night - Thanks Doug! I am certainly settling in quite well! Its strange because I have only been in Australia for five days, but I have met some great people and Im sorry to be leaving so soon. Im looking forward to being back in Sydeny for Christmas and NYE. After dinner, I stupidly agreed to take part in the pub quiz... Well, it was worth doing because I won a two night / three day safari trip in Noosa on the easy c...
