21st July 2007Today not done a lot, got on the Greyhound Bus from Hervey Bay at 9.25am and arrived here in Brisbane at around 2.30/3pm ish. Checked into our new hostel 'Banana Benders' and did our washing, as everything got SO sandy on Fraser. Then went down to 'TinBilly's' and had tea, i had fish and chips, (which was flake and chips, and flake is SHARK!) So iv tried another delicacy since being here what with my kangaroo as well!22nd July 20...

18th July 2007 Up for 6am and out the room, was allocated a 4x4 safari truck thing and put in groups. There was 11 of us in total. Me, Jen, the Irish girls, an Irish couple, 3 Army guys and a yank. But we were all a similar age 20s or so, although i was the youngest, and i have been the youngest of everybody we've met since being away! Im the baby. hehe. All of us went to the supermarket beforehand and clubbed together to buy our food supplies for the 3 days. Ar...

17th July 2007 Not done much, checked out of our hostel 'Magnums' and just sat at the beach front with the Irish lot. Had done some washing, but it hadn't dried properly, so had to spread all my clothes over the rocks to dry in the sun!

And i s...

12th July 2007 After a long overnight journey on the Greyhound Bus we eventually arrive in Airlie Beach at 11am. Checked into 'Magnums Backpackers' hostel, we are in a 'deluxe cabin' not that I would call it deluxe but i suppose it has an en-suite, 8 bed bunks. We walked down to the beach front where there is a lagoon, similar to the one in Cairns. As we walked past all the cabins, we saw a giant reptile thing - it was enormous! Apparently its called a Goanna or...

8th July 2007 Last night was STILL cold, despite the fact i was wearing shorts, tracksuit bottoms, 3 pairs of socks (including football socks folded over twice!) a vest, long sleeve t shirt, and 2 fleeces ASWELL as my sleeping bag and towel over that! I even put a woolly hat on at one point but it fell off during the night. So managed to get slightly more sleep but not great. Flight at 1pm into Cairns so we're now GMT+9. Its a bit warmer here around 24degrees. C...
