Gullivers Travels

I have been busy looking into the rest of my time here and have 90% finalised what I am doing..... Its sooooo exciting!! I am going on a 7 day tour with Kaz from Perth - Broome. We are staying in Broome for 2 nights before we go our seperate ways. Kaz to Perth and me to Darwin. I will stay 1 night before going on a 5 day tour visiting all the major top end National Parks!! I have been told its the best time of year to be un in the Northern Territory - I feel so lucky this trip is working out better than I could of ever imagined = ) Then its back to Darwin where I will stay for 3 nights and hopefully catch up with some friends of Kim and Dans I met in Phillip Island - Paul and Ingrid. I fly out to Cairns on the Monday morning where I will get a transfer to Port Douglas where I will be staying for 5 nights for definate. Here I will be diving on the reef amongst other things. I will also be going to a place called Kuranda - wait til you see the pics - its going to be amazing. For the rest of my plans I havent a time frame as yet but this is what I will be doing/seeing: I will be catching the Greyhound down the East Coast its really cheap for the kms that are covered! My first stop will be Townsville. Airle Beach - I will be doing a 3 day, 3 night sailing trip around the Whitsundays. Its a great place to explore the Great Barrier Reef. The Witsunday Coast is Queenslands water - sports playground and Airlie Beach, its capital. Hervey Bay - I will be doing a 3 day, 2 night tour of Fraser Island. Its the worlds largest sand Island. I will also be going on a Whale Watching tour to see migrating southern right and humpback whales pass close to Australias coast. How amazing will this be!! Noosa Heads - A surfing place - need I say more ladies ; ) Brisbane - Its the 3rd largest city in Australia! This is where to go to get to Steve Irwins Australia Zoo - A must see!! Surfers Paradise - Oh yes! Nimbin - Basically a place full of hippies - a reccommended sight to see! Byron Bay - Everybody has so many good things to say about this place - it would be rude not to check it out. Other reccommended places: Port Macquarie Port Stephens Newcastle - To visit Tash's Mom = ) and Geoff - hopefully catch up with her bro Mark again too. Its one of Australias most livable cities. There may not be much to see, but that makes it even better: I can spend everday on the beach and every second night searching out Newcastles next band, and not feel guilty about it = ) Olga loves champagne as much as if not more than I do ......Brilliant! Then its off to Sydney to catch up with 'r' Gray and 'r' Hels.....AGAIN!! WOO HOO. Get to see them in there new life in Sydney - they will be all settled in by then and ready for some PARTAY action = ) I was going to go see Tasmania - but will save that for another time as want to see my friends for longer periods. You need a week here minimum but a definate MUST SEE in the future! I will then go either to see me best buddies Kim, Dan, Marney and Zeus in Phillip Island AGAIN!! WOO HOO. OR Dot and Pat and CO in Melbourne - These guys can DRINK!! I had such a great time meeting them that I have to go back again as the time I spent there wasnt long enough and it was in the week when everyone was working so they are going to show me round Melbourne! Which ever way round they are I will be flying out from Melbourne on the 17th November!! What a year I'm looking forward too!!! Then its for a crazy 3 weeks with Charlotte touring around Thailand. Then its HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait to see you all mwah = )
