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 we made it to the fruit picking hostel, and its not too bad. Bit expensive, but they do find work for you and transport you there, so its alright. All the shops had closed by the time we had checked in, and the nearest supermarket is the next town ... Read more >
