Day 17-20 So Fraser Island was an amazing experience! We arrived at pippies beach house on Monday and had our safety briefing and got into our groups (we had the best group - not that I'm biased) and we were told to go and buy all our alcohol to take with us as the shop on the island was expensive! We weren't very prepared but Luckily we made friends with a couple from Essex who had a camper van so we managed to hitch rides to the shops as and when we pleased! ...

Days 15-16 - Surfers Paradise to Noosa After leaving Surfers Paradise we had about a 1 hour coach journey to Brisbane and then a 3 hour wait in Brisbane before our next coach to Noosa.

On Arrival it didn't look to ba...

On Tuesday We managed to get a bus and a train out of Sydney to bondi beach to do the bondi to coogee beach walk, this takes about 3 hours in total (1 and a half hours each way) and on the walk back jake said he wanted to go and sit on the rocks overlooking the beach for a 5 minute rest...
