Hiya, long time no news - its been so hard to get on the net at certain places.
So from hervey bay we headed out to a place called 1770 - short way away from fingerboard. We had so much fun here. We rode choppers - american style motorbikes. Tad bit scary cos u basically got told how to start it, accelerate and stop and turn, then it was like "off you go now, onto the roads". We were driving on the main roads aswell, mine was a cool bike - black with flames. We started slowly and then the bloke said we could start going faster and overtaking - so oh yes thats wat i did!! the fastest i hit was 70kph. It was absolutely great!! So fun and once u got going it was fine, i found the turning corners hard but then i started to get the hang of leaning on the corners and got rid of the fear that i would tip off!! The next day we went out on a scenice flight over 1770 and the bay. Me and ange were allowed to fly the plane, ange went first and then i was gona have
ag o once we landed on the beach. It was fun - he did somersaults, dropped us so it felt like a rollercoaster and i got floated!! Floated means that i undid my seat belt, he drove the plane straight up and then suddenly shifted it to go straight down and cos i wasnt strapped in i floated to the top of the plane. Unfortuneatly we couldnt land the plane on the beach due to the tides, so i didnt get to fly the plane boohoo!! but at this point i was not really bothered cos i was feeling sooooooo ill, luckily he told me where the sick bags were cos - oh yes!!! i threw up all my lunch - it was great!! it was so nice to land. Its ok cos u will see our adventure in the plane as we got the dvd (thankfully not of me being sick).
On from 1770 we went to Kroombit cattle station - out in the centre of queensland. We stayed here only a night. Here we herded goats on horse back - this was so much fun, my horse was buttons!! Then we did rifle shooting and i didnt
On my bike
On my bike - cool dude!!hehe
Doesnt it look good - jealous dad?? get any clay pigeons 😞, man did it shoot right back into ur arm though!! Then we wated a goat rodeo, headed back for roast dinner cooked (not as good as ours - there were no yorkies!!). After this we got taught how to crack a whip - not as easy as it looks, and we had to wear these stupid goggles (it was like being back at work, hehe) i kept hitting myself with the whip, not really what ur supposed to do. Next morning we left at 7am for our 10hr drive to airlie beach (or as it should be called airlie no beach" hehe!!) The bus drive was ok really - we watched a dvd, played some games, stopped to play bowls (boring) and had a battle of the sexes competition, we had to make up female releated questions for the boys to answer and vice versa!! The boys lost so got a forfeit - When we got to Airlie beach we were booked in to have dinner with everyone and go out for drinks, so the punishment was that the boys had to go upto someone in the bar and tell them that they were so
Do we look scared
Probably because we had just been dropped in the plane!! very cool happy as they now had enough money to pay for their sex change - so funny to watch.
On sunday we headed out to whitsundays on SV Whitehaven - a pirate ship looking boat!! We stopped off at a little place to snorkel, where we saw lovely fish, gorgeous colours. The meals on board were delicious - i think they must have known how big our appetites were!! Next day we travelled to tongue bay where we walked upto lookout over hill inlet - the best spot for piccies - boy was it gorgeous!!! From here we went to Whitehaven beach, very long and pretty beach!! Stopped in Manta ray bay, for more snorkelling but we just went out and sat on the dingy and took photos which surprisingly came out really well. Today we travelled back from the islands and helped with putting up the sails and taking them down (so now we are sailors too - our skills are ever expanding hehe). The cabins were really cute on board!!
Onto Magnetic island on thursday morning, where the full moon party happens.
lotsa love fgp
