Getting a Suntan

We went to the beach and I tried to improve my tan. The sun was burning on my skin while in the meantime Rick updated the blog.

We wanted to update the blog as soon as possible because it was about time. We searched almost the whole morning for a internet café to update it wireless, but no, nobody could help us because they were afraid we would mess up their network.

Finally we found one and we went over there after our sunbathing.

I woke up on my sun lounge because I heard a woman voice saying: “Allright mate, is she with you mate?”, on which Rick just stared at her as it was obvious we were lying next to each other together. Than I saw two policewomen on quad bikes parked right next to us and one of them said: “We’ve had a complaint of nudity cos this is a family beach and you can’t expose your breasts over here, so if you wouldn’t mind rolling over please cover yourself up, misses.”

Despite the glut of badly dressed, ignorant, fat people laying around half naked she chose to target the best titties on the beach. We were amazed at the speed of the response to such a stupid issue. Surely the “Tittie Police” should be out catching real criminals however through our journey in Queensland we’ve come to understand that we must be the criminal element and it was lucky that we were nipped in the bud.

Whale watching off the Fraser Islands

We were collected by bus from the campsite at 08:45 and driven to the Marina of Hervey Bay. We boarded the Casey Lee and we were greeted by an over enthusiastic photographer who insisted on taking our picture while my mascara was everywhere and Rick was having a bad hair day!

We motored up the coast of Fraser Island in our search for Humpback whales. We spotted a rare Dingo on the beach but I couldn’t take any pictures of it cos a fat bloke was blocking my view. He was blocking the view of the entire island! It’s unbelievable how fat the Australian are. They were introduced with junk food not so long ago and they managed to get fat in now time.

We continued our journey and almost instantly came across a pod of dolphins. Then we came across a pod of whales; a mother, a last years calf and a calf born this year. They didn’t show of for the crowd and just continued their migration to the South. So the boat kept going and e kept looking.

Within a minute we found lots more who were more willing to show off. It was a marvellous sight. They were blowing and showing their tails and breaching out of the water. The mother was just going along swimming and the calf was playing and showing off. He or she jumped out of the sea on many occasions, so I made endless photographs till my films ran out. It was spectacular to see them so close, behaving in a totally natural way. Unforgettable experience and highly recommended.

The two Japanese tourists were licking their lips and rubbing their tummies in eagerness for a early lunch.
