Day 102 - Australia Day in the Town of 1770 - Thursday 26th January 2012 Today is national Australia day and seeing as we were in the town of 1770, where Captain Cook landed we thought it would be the place to be!! Oh dear how wrong we were. 1770 really only consists of 1 very old school pub, about 6 shops, 1 restaurant and 1 petrol station - not really party central. This was probably a good thing seeing as our bus to Airlie Beach left at 9pm that night and an ...

Day 99, 100, 101 - Town of 1770 & Castaway Trip to Middle Island- Monday 23rd, Tuesday 24th, Wednesday 25th January 2012 Our bus wasn't until early evening so after our 10am check out we camped out in the lodges from room and used their WIFI and facilities all day!

Day 98 - Bundaberg & Mon Repos Turtles - Sunday 22nd January 2012 Our bus was due to leave Hervey Bay at 1pm so we chilled in the morning with the guys and watched cruel intentions in the hostels TV room until it was time to leave, say our goodbyes and get on the bus.

Over breakie we caught up on our emails with our free Wi-Fi (loving this hostel) and finished the last bit of planning for the rest of our trip. Come lunchtime we jumped on the greyhound bound for Hervey Bay and after a few...

Day 92, 93 - Noosa - Monday 16th, Tuesday 17th January 2012 It's like the Kumily Tiger reserve all over again……………I swear, I have never seen rain like this! We woke to the sound of heavy, persistent rain hammering on our tent and the plop sound of our tent leaking. And this is Australia's summer?! It's starting to feel more like home every day. We packed up our stuff and headed to the camp area to have some breakfast. A good cup of English breakfast t...
