Arrived in Brisbane early evening and found our hostel pretty easily. Probably the worse room I've stayed. So dirty, with a random old deck chair as furniture. We also had a pet moth/ butterfly that wouldn't leave us for the whole time we were there. It was the cheapest place we could find! Headed to hogs breath for dinner, it's pretty famous in Australia know for it's steaks. Then headed to the cinema after as it was cheap night. Watched birdman, the weirdest f...

Stopped off in Noosa for the night on our way down to Brisbane. Stayed in a cool little hostel, massive hippy vibe here! Staying right next to sunshine beach so spent the afternoon there. Really nice beaches right next to the national park. Again big waves here, I'm missing calm seas a little. You can't just paddle in the sea here you get dragged in and thrown about. Had a really nice room at our hostel, we made sure we had air con after 4 days without, it's pr...

This has to be one of the most amazing trips we have done!!! We were in a tag along group. This was 4 jeeps with 8 people in each group.

Met our group of 8 that included 2 scots, 2 nurses and 2 18 year olds that ash referred to as the kids. Everyone in the group was hilarious an...

Stopped over for a rest in Agnes Water/ 1770 before we move onto Fraser Island. Stayed in a really cool hostel. Didn't have it's own water supply so all the water was fresh rain water. 1770 is the town where captain cook first landed. Spent both our days here surfing at the beach. It's the place where you can get the cheapest surf lessons $17 for 3 hours. We hired our own boards instead. It was so much harder than last time, every time we tried to get back out ...

Next stop on the east coast was Airlie beach. We had a free nights accommodation here with our Whitsundays trip. Spent some time exploring the beach and lagoon. Couldn't swim in the sea due to the stingers again so we just swam in the lagoon. Headed off early on our Whitsundays trip. Had to take our shoes off before we got on the boat then that was the last we saw of them. The boat was a sailing boat that had won the sailing race from Hobart to Sydney. Whitsun...
