We had heard some really bad reviews about Brisbane, so we weren't really expecting much from it. We were surprised to see how nice it really was. The river splits the city into two, in my mind it was very similar to London. Our first day in Brisbane, we got the bus to australua zoo. It was good to see all of the oz animals up close. I got to feed kangaroos, and pet koalas, my day was made! I'm pretty gutted that I still haven't managed to see a platypus thoug...

Noosa has got to be one of my favourite towns on the easy coast so far. It had a really nice atmosphere and the hostel (nomads) was really nice. We spent the first day walking over the hill to the beach, which was really nice and exploring the town. We had a few drinks with some guys wed met along the east coast which was good fun. The following day we chilled out and then went to noosa river. The river had loads of rope swings and a bridge where you could jum...

Our first day involved visiting 'champagne pools' which were pools made by the sea as waves crashed over rocks and made bubbles (hence the name champagne). It was pretty ...

We have spent the last few days exploring the whitsundays on 'the Atlantic Clipper' boat. We were really worried about the weather but we had the best 3 days for, lots of sun and no wind. We spent the days snorkelling the outer parts of the Great Barrier Reef which was really great, we saw loads of turtles. However I think we were spoilt by it all in cairns as we didn't se as much as before. We also visited the beautiful Whitehaven beach. I have never been ...

So we have spent the last few days staying on magnetic island; an island 20 minutes from Townsville. I have really enjoyed myself here! On the first day, we went to the Full Moon Party. It was not really what I expected, I imagined it to be a lot busier but it was still good fun! We spent our second day exploring the island a little and laying by the base hostels pool which was nice, until the weather turned and it started to rain! After some well deserved fo...
