Finally got to Maroochydore today - yay! Got there a bit late, but am so glad that I passed through Nambour very quickly as I really wouldn't have liked to have stayed there. Seemed like a real backwater type of town....and I got completely perved at by one of the train station guys. This station guy suddenly said to me, just as I walked into the station, that a lady had been looking for me. I had a nano-second think, knowing that no one would be looking for ...

Had a really nice birth-day today, which was cool. Met up with Esther and she'd bought me some nice birthday choccies - yay!! So nice of her, considering that we'd only met each other about 5 days ago or something! We found the opticians and I picked out a nice pair of frames which are blue and green. Nice striking ones as well, as opposed to the rimless ones that I've got at the moment. Hopefully my opticians at home will just get those replaced without any...

Well, today was certainly interesting, if nothing else! I wanted to celebrate my birthday today as I am now sticking to my original plan and heading off up the coast on Thursday.

So, today I just tried to plan the rest of my journey up the East Coast. I've had a bit of input from Ian - Marion's husband - which has been useful, but I was hoping for some nice sun on this part of the coast and the weather for...

Had the whole day in Mur'bah as my bus to Brissie wasn't until 8:35pm....wasn't sure what to do with myself at first but Esther decided not to get a bus until the late afternoon, so we hung out until she had to get her bus. Froukje had got on an early bus as she was off to Byron Bay to go to surf camp. The sun shone like a good 'un when we first woke up and so we both thought that we'd take a nice walk to the new art gallery on the other side of town. I wanted...
