Hi guys, we're back! Long time no see! We've just spent three weeks at Kial, which is a wallaby centre for endangered Bridled Nailtail wallaby's. It also has many other interesting animals there too, as you will find out during this blog. We finally made it to Rockhampton. We stayed in a YHA here which wasn't very nice! We phoned Tina (the lady who runs the project) and arranged to meet her at Rocky zoo where she works the next day. We got to Rocky zoo met Tin...

Hello! We are finally in Rockhampton at last! The flooding has been really bad and at one stage we were completely land locked so Airlie Beach was basically an island! We were in Airlie for an extra 2 nights until the roads were clear. Despite the bad weather we have had an excellent few days.

Well Guys... You won't believe this, we are back in Airlie Beach! We left at 7am this morning to catch our Oz bus and what a journey its been.

The bus driver was having too bad a day to wait so we cr...

Our drive from Magnetic Island/Townsville was a very wet one, it rained practically the whole way down, and the fact that the driver felt the need to play 'rain songs' was not very uplifting! We arrived in Airlie Beach in the evening (and yes it was raining!). We were staying in a hostel called Koalas, which doesn't have the best of reputations, but the room was basic enough for what we needed and we didn't actually see any bedbugs! The Oz bus arranged a table ...

MAGNETIC ISLAND So it's our last night on Magnetic Island and here's the low down on what we have been up to for the last couple of days. We arrived on the ferry from Townsville on Thursday and just had a day chilling out by the pool. We are in a hostel called XBase which is right on the beach and we are sleeping in funky little huts which don't have the best aircon. Friday morning we got up and went to pick up our moke for the day, I was very pleased as it wa...
