Hey everyone! Today was sea kayaking day! Yes, another early start. Today we were up and out at the bus stop very promptly, about 15 minutes before our pickup was due, ready for our morning of kayaking. However, things slowed down a bit when we realised we were half an hour early for our pickup and it was at 8:30 and not 8am. Eventually though we were on our way to Shute Harbour (a different one to yesterdays). Things began by meeting our kiwi instructor and g...

Hey everyone! Today we went to the Whitsundays!

So, we were up bright and early and filled ourselves up with breakfast before getting a courtesy bus to the harbour. Soon enough we were boarding our huge catamaran, Voyager. Next to ...

Hey everyone Today we arrived in Airlie beach! We woke (one of many times that night) at 6.00am by the bus driver who seemed to enjoyed waking the coach up far too much.

We came across a little beach with calm blue water, very different fr...

Hey everyone Today was our last day in Hervey Bay. We got up and checked out, but as our bus didn't leave until the late afternoon we had to occupy ourselves for the whole day. After sitting around wondering what to do, and a trip to Woolworths later, we decided to have a walk around the beach and marina nearby. Christina had fun picking up the shells from the shore and found some coral too. We headed back to the hostel, sat in the hammocks and read our books....

Hey everyone Today was second Job day. After an unsuccessful day yesterday we decided to perserver. Being a monday and so hopefully more places open, we gave more people a call. The Harvest Hotline first, who told us Bowen would be the next season (tomatoes and melons) and put us through to some people who said that the season wouldn't be ready for a couple of weeks. After trying further up north, but still to no luck, we began to give up. We slowly learnt from...
