The clock went off at 5.00am we got up,breakfasted and this amazing 4wheeled drive bus picked us up at the door. We were off to Frazer Island, the largest sand island in the world. It was a fantastic place. The beach on the eastern side was the highway and was 75km long. After crossing from the mainland on a small roll on roll of ferry we drove about 1/3rd of the way right along the edge of the sea then turned inland. The roads were definitely rough and we re...

Today we have to leave this idyllic place and continue our journey south. We are travelling 3 hours to Noosaville where will will stay for 3 nights with Bill and Sue who we met in Holland last year on our cycling trip. We woke up to an absolutely beautiful day and decided not to leave until after lunch. We spent the morning on the beach and even went in the sea for a swim it was fantastic with a temperature of about 30 degrees. We packed up and took the car d...

Woke up early this morning with a beautiful view from the unit across the ocean with the sun just coming up. As it was early I took the opportunity to speak to my sister who was getting ready for bed. We had intended to do nothing today, maybe sit on the beach and chill out. However, we walked all day. We walked around the local neighbourhood and looked at the houses then we walked the beach. It is a beautiful place Louise and Ross have found to live. They ...

Well a bit of a contrast to yesterday. We woke up and the view was spectacular. The sea was flat, the sun was just coming up over the hills and the view was spectacular. We got up and walked down and picked up the car. This was a Hyundai Saloon about the size of a Mondeo, it has everything auto that can be auto. Leather seats and is very comfortable. One thing it couldn't do was bypass the roadworks. OMG we have never seen such a number of roadworks - they se...

Well what can I write about today? Words fail me fandabby dosy, great, brilliant, superb, mind blowing, etc. etc. We were picked up at 8.30am and driven to the local marina where we boarded a smallish boat for a trip round the Whitsunday Islands. There were 22 people on board and the weather was slightly cloudy but warm. Our first stop was a snorkel. A bit different from our experience in Cairns. A much smaller boat but the staff just as keen to ensure ever...
