G'day Mate! We arrived back in Brisbane on Saturday afternoon where we were met by Maddie and Sam at the train station. After three days of camping we were looking forward to returning to Wynnum for some more home comforts! We spent the rest of the day chilling out, chatting to the Langthorne's about our Fraser Island trip and doing our washing. On Sunday we all ventured to Noosa for the day, it is about two hours from the Langthorne's and we had left blazing ...

G'day Mate! After a rushed journey and arriving at the bus literally a minute before it left, we arrived at Rainbow Beach at 7pm - five hours later. We'd planned to eat the food provided by the hostel but unfortunately, due to the floods causing shortages, the meals couldn't be prepared and as a result we dropped our bags, met our roommates and headed straight to the IGA (supermarket) for some food supplies. We woke up early the next morning to the sound of ou...

We had a lovely big room with ensuite, something ...

G'day Mate! We awoke early, this time on the right day, ready for our boat trip to the Whitsunday Islands. We had checked out of Nomads by 10am and strolled over the road to check into our boat trip before 11am, where we then had a four hour wait until we had to board our boat at 3.40pm. We killed some time on the internet for a couple of hours and then played some frisbee by the lagoon until it was time to go! When we got to the check-in for 'New Horizon' we sa...

G'day Mate! We arrived on Magnetic Island late afternoon on Friday and settled at X Base Backpackers, a place recommended to us by many. We were allocated two beds in an eight bed dorm joining another English girl and a group of five Irish. We spent the evening in the bar having a few drinks with our new roomies and retired to our beds at half ten for an early-ish night. We awoke and started our only full day on the island by strolling to the supermarket and ...
