Hello! I am from Northern Ontario, Canada! I'm leaving my home town to venture throughout Australia with 2 friends.

We aren't sure where we'll be, or for how long...but the one way tickets are bought and we're on our way!!!



Oceania » Australia » New South Wales » Byron Bay August 7th 2009

today we landed in byron bay. we left airlie beach on the 4th and headed to surfers paradise for 3 nights. we went to townsville before we left airlie and hit up the billabong sanctuary. AMAZING. held koala bears, and snakes! we saw the 3 most deadly snakes in the world. we also saw crocodiles and wombats, and fed kangaroos. it was so cool finally seeing the wildlife here! surfers was a ton of fun...and kind of a blur. we went on a pub crawl, and don't remember coming home last night...heaps of fun though! the beach in surfers is amazing. it's so neat seeing the high rises along the beach like that. i would have stayed and worked there if we didn't already have travel plans. we just arrived in byron...learning to surf tomorrow. we ... read more

Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Airlie Beach July 5th 2009

Well it has been a while since I updated my blog. Lately I've just been working and enjoying the sunshine. I can not believe it's "winter" here. SO HOT! Planning on doing some travelling in about 4 weeks. Can't wait to see some more of Australia. We've been hanging around the Whitsunday Islands, snorkelling, and drinking pints! Check out FB pics. Really missing Logan! :P Updates will come as soon as travelling starts. I'll try to post some pics on here too for ppl who don't have FB. xo... read more

Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Airlie Beach May 18th 2009

We are now in Airlie Beach...and it's beautiful here. It is the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef! We got ourselves an appartment in a holiday resort complex. It is a 1 bedroom, but has 3 beds...1 King, 2 Futons! We will be rotating monthly I think, and plan to be here for at least 3 months. Our view is stunning. We can see the ocean, and the islands from our balcony. On our way up we stopped at Carmila Beach. Stayed the night. We met some travellers from different parts of the world. It was great to have conversations with so many different people about travelling and Australia. I have a feeling that talking to all these different people with entice me to want to see even more than I already ... read more

Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Rockhampton May 13th 2009

We've had our camper van since Saturday Morning, so Friday night home time. We are exactly 14hours ahead. So far, we've been to Noosa, Rainbow Beach, Fraser Island, Gin Gin and now Rockhampton. We are hoping to get to Airlie Beach in the next few days. Noosa was beautiful. We spent the first part of the day on the beach, second part driving the BEAST of a van around. DID I MENTION it is LEOPARD PRINT bright orange, and pink! After a night in the van, we hit up the national park on some advice from fellow travellers. TEA TREE BAY was amazing. We saw our first Koala. Rainbow Beach is the gateway to Fraser Island, and the only reason we went there. Fraser Island was also amazing. We saw rainforests, dunes, stunning freshwater lakes! Lake ... read more

Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Brisbane May 7th 2009

We've arrived in Brisbane...30 hours in airports! We stopped in LA for 6 hours, and Figi for 3. The layovers weren't bad, and surprisingly enough the 10 hour and 40 minute flight to Figi was the best one we had. There were movies, and because it was an overnight, we were able to sleep for most of it. We caught a cab to our hostel, and it's quite nice, pool, bar, free internet. When we got here, we went to the grocery store, ate, and took a "nap" and woke up 16 hours later. We have already met some people, a few guys from New Zealand in Figi, and a couple of older people from Australia. We also met a traveller from England, who gave us some tips on travelling down the coast, where to stay ... read more
