Well guys, its that time again for a little update! To state the obvious, we are back in Brisbane....AGAIN!! After doing the coast we arrived back in Brisbane for Easter to spend it on Stradbroke Island with Nick, Leisha and all the gang. We rented a beach house and took the 4x4's over for the weekend, which was really good fun. Done lots of fourby-ing (4 wheel driving in the bush) drinking, eating and of course sunbathing on the amazing beaches there. After St...

Well after a 5 hour bus ride then a 2 hour wait in the ferry terminal and another half an hour on the ferry we arrived on Magnetic Island. The hostel we were in was totally heaving (we heard all the other hostels on the island were dead) and right on the beach! It was really clean although it was no more than a portacabin we were sleeping in. We didnt do any real sightseeing on the island, mainly because there is nothing much to see!! So we just had a couple of d...

Well we arrived in Mission Beach with the hope of doing a sky dive (well Aldo and Lee did) however the weather was against us so we had to just have a day of chilling out in the hostel, which to be honest was one of the best we have stayed in.

Seriously it makes Anstruther look like New York...its just one road, with one bar, one cafe, one ...

Well guys to be honest, there is nothing much to write about the reef as the pictures really do speak for themselves. We got picked up from our hostel at 7.30am and it took us 2 hours to get to the first dive sight. Unfortunately, Aldo was not allowed to do the dive because of his epilepsy, so he was only allowed to snorkel. After our first dive and lunch Lee and I decided that we HAD to do the optional second afternoon dive!! The only thing we can say is the pi...

Hey everybody, So Aldo arrived in the land of Oz and after saying goodbye to Nick and Leisha, we had a couple of days chilling in Cairns, which to be honest was a bit of a disappointment as there really wasn't anything there, but the weather was good and we got a great hostel which was dead clean and had a pool on the roof so we weren't complaining too much. We booked all our East Coast trip through Peterpans which included our scuba dive which is why we heade...
