OK so a few prompts from people at home and I'm attempting to sort out the lack of recent blog entries- sorry, I've been incredibly busy and had no idea it'd been so long. So it'll be less detailed which is bad, but I'll see what I can remember... I believe I left you in Brisbane. (wow that was a long time ago!) Right, so after the slightly disappointing Brisbane, the weather decided to stay pretty stormy and cold for a few weeks. We moved on to Surfer's Paradi...

From Rainbow Beach we got a bus to Noosa (which was all of about 2 and a half hours late... so unimpressed!) and a reasonable little hostel with a pathetic kitchen (that may be my least favourite part of travelling- when you have to fight off a hundred other travellers for the one pot to cook your pasta in, then find there is no can opener or even sharp knife to help complete your (boring and samey) meal. Anyway, we managed to find appropriate tools to make salad...

LOADS to catch up on so I'll try to remember- I'm about a month behind. That's not so good. Nothing like a late bus and a boring city to make you want to sit and update a very outdated blog.

We arrived nice and early for the bus, in the pouring rain- I think it was something silly like 7am....

We booked our Cape Tribulation tirp with Asylum- I have never seen a tour booking take so long and be messed up so roally, but if anyone can do that, it's the staff at Asylum... anyway, what's one wasted afternoon in 10 months of travelling? We booked a 2 day, one night trip so we could make the most of going somewhere different and it wouldn't feel quite so rushed. We drove first to Daintree, where we'd opted out of the crocodile spotting river cruise, in favour...

So I managed to blag a cheeky bit of unlimited internet so I can complete my story up to date. So Uluru/ Kata Tjuta/ Kings Canyon tour: Day 1: Picked up at 6.30 am (urgh!) We got on our bus and were very very excited by the free pillows which are those tube shaped bean bag type things- we didnt even know we got to keep them at that point, but seriously, they are AMAZING. I have a lot of love for my bean bag pillow. It makes bus trips totally easy! So Anyway, ...
