Im not exactly in the Whitsundays yet, but I wanted to leave a message on here, from the Whitsundays, so that it is printed in my travel blog book! I met my new dorm mates last night, I was sharing a dorm with two girls from America - Darcy and Katie, and a german guy. They were all really nice, although I only had chance to speak to them briefly before getting into bed. I walked down to the beach as it was getting dark and took a long walk around the bay (abou...

I am so excited...! I have just spoken to Adam (who I met in Cairns) and he will be in Brisbane at the same time as me, so we are arranging to meet up and spend a couple of weeks together!

We have just stopped for lunch. Ive just had the 'famous fish and chips'. We still have twenty minutes here at Cardwell (somewhere between Mission Beach and Airlie Beach). The views here, onto the beach are amazing! The sun is shining! We are now two hours into the nine hour bus journey. The time has gone quite quickly, but then ask me that again in a few hours time! I went to the information office this morning in Mission Beach and booked one night at The Bea...
