After returning to Australia I take a quick visit to Surfers and then hire a car and drive the 12 hour drive to Mackay to catch the plane over to Brampton Island where I worked in the restaurant in the resort for 3 months..... Being a tropical Island on the great barrier and whitsundays..the island was full of wierd and wanderful creature...snakes...spiders...parrots ...lauriquetes.. flying foxes and best of all kangaroos the size of me..... After a very bad flood hit to the island the resort was back up and running and we enjoyed a pleasurable 2 hour flight over whitehaven beach [View Full Entry]

The following day we went White river rafting then took the gondola and drank cocktails at the top.....too hungover the next day to think we cruised around [View Full Entry]
