The second day in Noosa we decided to take out the Kayaks and bikes and explore the river. Shenton went by Kayak and myself and Michael took to the bikes. Shenton chose to go by water to show off his new french sailor look with his Moustache, I think he scared a few people along the way though. The road took a slightly different route to the river and we lost Shenton for a while but caught up with him after he had Kayaked over 3km down river. Even though he looked knackered he was convinced that the tide would be in his advantage on the way back and so challenged us to a race. We didnt need to try very hard as it really was no competition and we got to the meeting point to ... read more

Today we are going to explore the north of the Island, the whole beach coast line is 75kms so in the morning we head off on the beach again towards Indian Heads. A short walk up the headland gives super views in both directions and the surf does look very tempting but we have to remember that there are all kinds of lethal animals in there so no surfing today. After Indian heads we have to manouver the Tank on a very sandy road behind Indian Heads, which Shenton manages no problems and then we reach the Champagne Pools. These are called this because as the waves break over the pools the bubbles look like Champagne. We have a lovely refreshing dip here before we are off up to the northern most point. I ve had ... read more

Our few days in Brisbane are done and we are off up the coast towards Noosa. Tank feels better than he has done in years and is running nice and smooth with loads of new bits and bobs so we are ready for the next part of the adventure. We decide to take the scenic drive and avoid the highway, this takes us past Australia Zoo, this is the Zoo that Steve Erwins father started its next to the Glass House mountains, one of these looks like a gorrila rising out of the mist. This is where Shenton and his family used to go camping when they were here years ago. We drive through lots of seaside places like Couloundra, Maroochydoor and we stop for lunch at Mooloolaba where the surf looks great but it is ... read more

Check out the photos. One question.............. SHAVE or DONT SHAVE ? I have told him it is a good look for him, reminiscent of Kevin Webster in 1980's coronation street. Your votes count so please send us a comment :-) Atty I am sure I can count on you to vote Dont Shave :-) One more thing, it seems that Jeff has found a picture of the Mona Lisa in his pub, he is going to send it to auction and hopes to fund his and Traceys new lifestlye.... read more

In the morning we sat in the camp kitchen at Mount warning and a Kookaburra came over and got really close and friendly with us. We got some great shots of him and he stayed with us for a couple of hours while we ate breakfast. We left the camp around lunchtime and headed off on our trip to Brisbane along the Gold Coast. We have heard that this coast is really built up and looks a little like the coast from Malaga to Marbella. It is not far and once we hit Tweed Heads we have crossed over from New South Wales into Queensland where the remiander of our trip all the way to Cape York will be. As we hit the gold coast road it does remind me of either an American highway with ... read more
