Today I jumped out of a plane! Five of us went up,and it was a tandem jump from 14,000 feet... We flew up over Mission beach and Dunk Island, the view was fantastic as the weather was good for once so could see for miles. Once at 14,000 feet we got into position, I was the first to go and I had to kneel with my knees over the edge - this is when I realised what I was doing! The free fall lasted a minute and was wicked, I'd just got used to it when he ...

Today we went out for a days sailing on a yacht to White haven beach which is on the main Island in the Whitsunday Islands.

Had a all you can eat Mexican for dinner, complete with champagne and chocolate cake - yum! The next day we drove to Lake Birrabeen,...

Done too much walking and my legs and feet burn! Unfortunately the weathers not been great but it's stil...

Well I have arrived safe and well in this wonderful city! It really is beautiful, feels very surreal to be here. It's also very hot and sticky as expected but we did get a few spots of rain this afternoon! Am rather tired after travelling so me and some girls from the hostel went for a wander round. We walked through botanical gardens and down to Circular Quay where we ate lunch next to the harbour, which was lovely... Then we wandered into a few shops, t...
