We took a night bus to Airlie beach and arrived at 10.30am to check into our hostel. We spent the day having a look round Airlie which was a nice little place with a lovely bay pool which made up for the lack of a decent beach. Well.. We've been spoilt recently! We had to check in with our sailing group then we went back to our hostel and watched the final game of the State of Origin series! We set off the sailing to the Whitsunday Islands on a tall ship ca...

Rainbow beach is one of two start points to get on to Fraser Island (the largest sand dune in the world). We stayed here a couple of nights, one night before we went on the island and one after. Our first day here we went to the beach and did some body boarding. We werent very good but it was a laugh trying! That night we met our group for going on to the island. There were 19 of us and we would split into two smaller groups and travel in 2 4x4's on the isla...

Would have liked to have stayed and seen more but unfortunatley time and money meant we had...

The weather wasn't the best and it rained on and off for most of the time we we're here but we still managed to see lots. Ross liked the city because he though it reminded him off Glasgow! Probably just cos of the rain!! While we ...

Dont let the photo fool you, the Gold Coast isn't all its cracked up to be! Managed to get here during a torrential downpour that lasted for our entire time here. But we didnt let it ruin our fun and had a good couple of days. We got in late our first night so we didnt get up to much but the next day we went to Dreamworld one of the big theme parks on the gold coast. It had some great rides including a 38 storie vertical drop and the claw, which was pretty s...
