OK, well so much for the regular updates! Sorry guys!
so here is just a shortish entry about what we have done in basiaclly the last month!

We spent 2 rainy/windy days in surfers paradise, which is nothing like paradise at all its like a city plonked right next to one very very very long beach. Also the surf was rubbish and it turned out that my surf in Lennox Head was my very last as since then its been rubbish! (cant wait to get home and go surfing in cornwall! surf is way better there!)

After Surfers we spent 12hrs in Brisbane, walked to the supermarket and then went to bed, got woken up by he fire alarm adn had to run outside in our pj's in the rain!!! was not happy :(

Next stop was Noosa where we had 3nights :) when we got there it was lovely adn warm and the surf looked alright :) so once we had checked in we headed back down to teh beach to discover the beach was 'closed' as there was bad weather warnings adn so I couldnt hire a board and surf :( but there were loads of people surfing still :(
For the rest of teh time we had there the beach was closed despite the suf looking good I couldnt go in as nooen was allowed to hire out boards :(
We did go for a walk through the national park in teh hope of seeing some koalas, we walked 10km of the national park and didnt see a single one :( but we did see over 100 surfers running along with their boards to catch the waves along the coast all the way in to Noosa beach!

Next stop Rainbow beach. Here we would take a day tour to Fraser Island, the largest Sand island in the world! but when we got there due to the weather warnings they had evacuated the island as they were expecting 140kmph winds that eve :s and so our tour the next day had been cancelled :( but luckily we managed to do it the following day and had a lovely sunny day :)

Next stop was Kroombit, which is where we spent the night in the outback on a cattle station! here we mustered (hearded) goats on horse back, had a goat rodeo, rode a mechanical bull, played limbo, learnt to laso and crack a whip :) it was a very fun day and we had a good group of people :)

Next stop: Airlie beach, this is where we boarded a 23m yacht for 2days and sailed round the whitsundays :) it was lovely and sunny and the islands of the whitsundays where beautiful. We saw some turtles and then went snokling and saw loads of fishy :)
I even go to help hoist the sails and have a go at stearing/driving the yacht! There were 22 of us onboard plus 3crew memebers :)
Then we had 2nights at Airlie beach itslef, we went to the lagoon (which is basicall a giant outdoor pool) and I may have fallen asleep in the sun after our swim!

Next stop: Magnetic Island :) We had 3nights here and just chilled by/in the pool mos of the time. We went kayaking one day and then snorkling the next and I saw a stringray :) the snorkling wasnt very good tho in comparison to the whitsundays, as there were hardly any fishy but is was still fun. In the afternoon of our last day there we went and did one of the walking tracks and saw a koala in the wild!

Next stop: Mission Beach where there was nothing to do, originally I had planned to skydive here but I saw the dr in magnetic and discover that I had a thickened eardrum :) yay so he said was probs best not to skydive :( so we had 2 lazy days by the pool and in it. The beach was lovely but I didnt fancy sitting on it as on the first day we went for a walk along it and saw a snake :s

Next and final stop of OZ: Cairns :) We had 4nights here and there was lots to see and do. On our first day we went on a reef trip and did an intro dive on the great barrier reef which was amazing :) tho a little scary as the instructor tok us down one at a time down a rope that was dangling fromthe boat adn I had to go first so I was taken down adn then left at the bottom holding on to this bar while he went adn got the others! but we saw some beautiful coral adn fishy :) we also did some snorkling there too :) The rest of teh time there we spent chilling out by the lagoon and doing our final bits of shopping! In the evenigns we some how maaged to get either free or really cheap meals :) and went out to the Woolshed and Gilligans with katie!!! which was really cool as it was nice to see someone from home!

now we are in Singapore and it is sooooooo hot! but we atre staying cool in all the air conditioned malls that are everywhere!!!
Yesterday we went to Sentosa island and went to the segway things which are those weird looking things with 2wheels where u stand between the wheels and they have a handle sticking up between them! It was sooo much fun!
We fly home2day :) yay adn will arrive in london at 5.25am on sun!!!
Looking forward to seeing everyone again adn gettin out of this heat as it is just tooo hot and humid!

sorry for the rather boring update, I will explain it all properly when I'm home!
hope u are all well
