Geo: -25.9021, 153.092After a tasty Brekkie on the patio I left Brisbane and took the Greyhound up the Sunshine Coast, all the way to Rainbow Beach. After some chats with fellow travelers I cooked dinner and spent the rest of the evening at the (for Australian standards) surprisingly affordable bar ;)Nach einem leckeren Fruehstueck auf der Terrasse verliess ich Brisbane und nahm den Greyhound hoch zur Sunshine Coast bis nach Rainbow Beach. Dort im Hostel unterhielt ich mich mit einigen anderen Backpackern und kochte Abendessen fuer die naechsten zwei Tage. Den Rest des Abends verbrachten wir an der, fuer australische Verhaeltnisse, erstaunlich erschwinglichen Bar ;)... read more

Hi all. Not too much to report since last time. I joined my boat tour on Saturday afternoon and we all walked out to the boat which was called the Atlantic Clipper. The first thing that caught my attention was the water slide! We headed out towards the Whitsunday Islands and stopped for the night near Hook Island. Our dinner was hake with mashed potato and coleslaw, yum. We spent the evening getting to know the rest of the people on the boat (and as there was 36 people there were plenty to get to know). The next morning we were awoken by the crew shouting at us at 6:30 am. After breakfast we took the small boats that were being dragged behind the Clipper to the beach (no I don't know what they're properly called ... read more

Hii! I keep wanting to start these blogs with "g'day" but I can't quite bring myself to do it! Okay so now we're in a lovely little place called Rainbow Beach. there's not a lot to do here except go to the beach and once again embrace the east coast culture and spend the day on the beach! So that's what we've been doing :) Before we were here we were staying in a place called Noosa which again is another east coast surfing town so not much to report from our visit there apart from sunbathing on the beach! no surfing though because the waves were definitely not for the beginners! A cyclone out near Fiji is causing the coast to be a bit dangerous for swimming in the sea but perfect for experienced surfers ... read more

Legend has it that there was a time in blackfellow’s land when the night came down like a black cloud and veiled the world in darkness letting neither moon nor stars be seen. But as Bohra liked to feed at night, he objected to this darkness. Being a great wirinun, he put an end to it by just rolling the darkness back as if it had been a rug and let it rest on the edge of the world while the stars and moon shone out. Bohra was very pleased with himself as he could now see to feed during the night and he could go about as he pleased on his four legs, for in those days Bohra went on all fours like a dog. One night as he was feeding, Bohra saw a number ... read more

Spent my last morning in Brisbane with Caroline at the lagoon before having a bbq with the rest of my dorm in the evening. Was the best bbq I've had since I've been here, so much fun. NYE went to Mooloolaba where it rained pretty much all day (it did stop for the evening luckily though). Have never seen so many coffee shops in one place, definitely spoiled for choice. In the evening I had drinks with 3 Brisbane girls staying there just for the night, giving me lots of advice of where to go on my way north (of course with my memory though I'd forgotten most of it the next day, should've written it down). Went down to the beach to watch the fireworks for midnight, have never seen so many people at the ... read more
