So today up and out early again, this Ozzie air is doing something to me, I went for a walk in the Noosa National Park which is literally 5 mins walk away. I went along the coast line then I crossed into the rainforrest, it was lovely just walking along only hearing the bird maiking their noises and my own foot steps, I'm becoming quite the vegitation spotter !!! There are some really different trees that look lovely..... I know, me a tree lover, what ever next !!!! actually it was just like doing a hash, except there was no sweetie stop and no fines at the end !!!! I saw my first wild Koala asleep in a tree !!! lots of birds that are all around, they look like black chickens with red heads (I ... read more

So it was an ealry start to catch the 7.45am bus to Noosa a 6 hour journey, that meant I changed states and I now reside in Queensland, I even had to put my watch back an hour - very strange !!! Considering it was 6 hours it went very quickly and pleasantly mainly due to my new Ipod touch which is brilliant, but I must remember not to "sing" along !!! so I arrived here in lovely Noosa where there is a surfers festival going on, my bunk wasnt ready so I went for a walk around town and got me a few essential provisions, cereal, milk, pasta and pasta sauce (staple diet of backpackers) and obviously tea bags and biscuits. Back to the hostel, which is quite lovely its called Halse Lodge YHA - ... read more

Arrived here after a lovely 1 hours flight, and cheched into my new hostel which is ok - i was spoilt in Sydney !!! The hostel is 5 mins walk from the beach and town. I went on a quick walk and hung out in the hostel, bed timeI then up early and out to go and sit on the beach by 9am !!! loads of surfers already there, its a huge beach that is immaculate, white sand that actually squeeks when you walk on it ..... very bazzarr !!! I had a wonder around the town then back for a laze around the pool, sooo exhausting !!! Then back to the beach for another lovely laze and the most strange thing ..... spit spots of rain !!!! for gods sake i'm in Oz, so like ... read more

So it was an early start today, i had to meet the coach for my trip to Blue Mountains at 7.45 am AND i bought a hat on the way !!!! What a great day, the mountains are about 90 mins drive away, its where that lad got lost last year and was missing for 2 weeks and presumed dead, but then was found !!!! anyway ..... they are called the Blue Mountains because ????? guess what ????? yes - they look blue in colour, its a HUGE area that had breathtaking views from, waterfalls, and rock formations that have aborigional tales about them. I met lots of intersting people from Uk, france, USA and Russia. So a very continental day it was. One of the most famous if called the Three Sisters, the story goes ... read more

so .....Iarrived and booked into the greatest youth hostel, its in an area called The Rocks in central Sydney, there's a roof top terrace that overlooks the bay. The Opera house and bridge are literally 5 mins walk away !!!! I'm sure that mum and Marilyn will be pleased to hear that I've made lots of friends already, I went for a walk around with Sarah who is my roomie, we're in a 4 bedded dorm, (bottom bunk for me). The harbour is truly spectacular, amazing views with a lovely chilled our feel about it. There are street musicians and didgeridoo players everywhere. The Opera house is really beautiful, I can't really believe I'm here yet, partly due to massive amount of jet lag, 3 days without zzzzzzzz so far, so I'm hoping to get some ... read more
