Hi everyone, how are you? Rainbow Beach was my next stop, where I spent 2 nights before going off to Fraser Island. The hostel was pretty chilled, they had a free pool table which we made much use of! I met some of my group for the Fraser tour the night ... Read more >

The sailing trip to the Whitsundays was great fun. We had a group of about 20 people from various countries, and despite everyone being a little reserved at first, we all got on brilliantly. It was only 2 nights and 2 days, but we all had awesome fun.... Read more >

Hey everyone, I was finally able to get travelling again, and it was so much fun. I didn't realise how much I actually missed it. I'm a lot happier now I'm on the road again. I spent a week on the Great Ocean Road, built for the Anzacs in the world ... Read more >

The sharehouses I saw on Monday night were awful. About 30/40 people between 8 or 9 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Not good. Too much like hostel living for me. So that was a no go. I ended up moving in with Karen and family on Tuesday, which is out in the ... Read more >

I've been on Maggie (Magnetic Island) now for 2 nights, and I wish I'd missed out Mission Beach. I did absolutely nothing special except sit and watch cricket all day in the only air con room, the TV room. Great result for England, but I wish I hadn't ... Read more >

Hey everyone, hope you had a fantastic New Years, I know I did! We spent the night in Gilligan's in Cairns, all 11 of the people who had come down from the lodge, and had a great time. Spent New Years Day with a bit of a headache mind, but still managed ... Read more >

So, the trip has taken a downturn, as I have run very low on money and have been forced to turn to fruit picking. And it sucks. If you can ever avoid it, do, because the farmers are all @#%$&!>" ?<@%$#)!?"@s - in other words, not ... Read more >
