The day we were to leave Surfers Paradise we re booked our ticket and left earlier than planned! After a few hours ( and then the time difference) we came down to Byron bay! Pretty cool, and relaxed place. We had heard about a hostel that you just have to stay in if your in Byron Bay, called Art's Factory. Im happy we did it because i can see why it's so likeable. It's about a ten minutes walk from the actuall town center and it takes you to a pretty big hostel that has a pool a little caffee a shop, good meal deals, a forest around it and just a very good atmosphere! Some people had stayed there for ages and worked and they just downt wanna go anywhere else. Our first night in ... read more

Brisbane is a funky town. Got there 5 hours after leaving Rainbow Beach with a tear in our eye, seeing our friend Anita healed the wound for a few days! We got there and litteraly just walked across the street and checked in to the nearest hostel TinBilly's, since Anita was staying there. (even if she wouldn't taht would probably have been our choice anyways since it's so close to the transit center) We spent 3 nights in Brisbane, but I think I could have stayed longer if we would have applied for jobs and such. TinBilly's has a pretty cool bar but watch out for locals, they don't mind staring!!! First night we did some catching up with another friend from our boat in Cairns, Graham and we got to meet the girls he's been ... read more

We left Airlie Beach the 11th of November to take the local bus to Proserpine and then to get on the Greyhound bus which would take us to Rainbow beach. It was a long ride and we arrived in Harvey Bay on the 12th in the morning around 7am. Had to wait for an hour and then jumped on the bus down to Rainbow beach through Tin Can Bay I think it's called. Anyways got here in the morning and stayed one night at a hostel called Dingo's pretty nice atmorphere and nice live music. Next day we checked out and moved in just next door to Pippie's, cuz we'd allready booked our Fraser Island tour with them. Had one day to kill in Rainbow beach before our trip. Rainbow Beach would probably not be anything ... read more

Just got back from 4 days at sea like an hour ago. We're now staying at another hostel, still in cairns. Can't seem to get out of this town it's crazy. We've been on a big boat called reef encounter for the last few days and we've been scuba diving. And that is the most wicked experience I've ever had I'd say. It's like beeing in a great akvarium and it never ends. you never stop being surprised. We got to do five dives on our pakage No School Scuba and the day started on another boat called Reef experience. We got served breakfast, and lunch and we went snorkelling. Around 1 o'clock we got transfered to the other boat and the diving adventure begun! First dive was only half an hour after getting on the ... read more
