Brisbane! Or Bris-Vegas as loads of the Aussies seem to call it. Seems to be a divided city in terms of opinion, people either like it or find it pants. I didn’t like it, I loved it! The reasons people said they didn’t like it was because its boring and theres not much there. Granted it doesn’t have the iconic sites of Sydney like the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House or Melbourne with the MCG, the Eureka Tower and St. Kilda down the road, but I still fou...

Everyone else’s pictures that id seen of Fraser Island have been in glorious sunshine – oh how different my pictures are! I’ve timed my trip to Queensland perfectly with this ‘cyclone’ that’s apparently out there somewhere which wont go away! So it was a case of getting very wet but getting on with it! I did a 2 day/1 night guided trip and got picked up early again to fit as much into Day 1 as possible. On the way were told all about Fraser island, ...

Next stop after the Whitsundays was Rainbow Beach, ready for Fraser Island. However its roughly a 12 hour drive so OZ Experience break it up with a stop off at a cattle ranch in the Queensland outback called Kroombit.

We arrived around 5pm to be welcomed, and told ‘nibbles’ was at 6pm, dinner at 6:30. ‘Nibbles’ turnt out to be a dead, cooke...

So after arriving in Airlie beach just in time for my 6pm check-in deadline, I was told my Whitsundays boat was cancelled. What! This cyclone was still hanging about so they decided a 14 man boat wouldn’t cut it. Bit gutted as this small boat was meant to be good for mucking in and helping sail it. Every cloud has a silver lining though. I was told id been upgraded to the Whitsundays Magic. Only the biggest boat that sails the Whitsundays! Touch. The woman kep...

So in searching for the sun and Robbie Fowler, I was 50% successful! Left Cairns at 7am an got on the bus. Well smart it was too! Leather seats, loads of leg room and air con. Result. Chose to use this company (Oz Experience) rather than greyhound, which is similar to National Express in that its takes you from A to B but is full of sleeping pensioners. Oz Experience is for the younger mob, and they also stop off to let you see places you wouldn't normally go. ...
