Hallo zusammen Nachdem ich mich laenger nicht mehr gemeldet habe, wollte ich euch endlich mal wieder auf den neusten Stand bringen. Der Tauch kurs in Airlie Beach war einfach toll. Da ich die einzige schuelerin war, profitierte ich umso mehr.Am 2. Tag ging der Tauchlehrer Stuart mit mir bereits ins Meer, wo wir auch einen Rochen gesehen hatten. Nach Airlie Beach gings dann mit dem Nachtbus weiter nach Agnes Water/ Town of 1770. 1770 weil damals James cook hier mit dem schiff brandete. Am ersten Tag sind wir an einem einsamen Strand entlang gelaufen, haben gepicknickt und einfach die herrliche stimmung genossen. Am 2. Tag machten wir einen Surfkurs und ich schaffte es einmal etwa 10-15m stehend zu surfen. Das Surfen sieht nicht nur gut aus, es ist definitiv ein wahnsinnig "cooles Feeling" von der welle ... read more

Hiya guys - well loads to tell once again!! From Noosa we traveled to Rainbow beach for a night. As soon as we got here we went out for a bush walk with the hostel owner. We had bush tucker (eating the nectar from the trees (just like honey), eating some flowers (sorta tasted like lettuce). Walked through the bush until we reached the base of the sand dune (sand blow), and man was it a trek up it, it didnt feel like u were moving up the dune as your feet kept sinking, it was worth it though for the view it was gorgeous!! He then told us a bit of history and geology of the place and frasier - very interesting - he was a cool tour guide!! Then he showed us 7 different ... read more

Hey!! Hope ya all ok!! Hmmm, what have I been up to??!!! Well, had one more night on Airlee Beach! Decided to stay in Beaches hostel this time as the last one we had stayed in on Airlee was pants! This one wasn't much better...sat on the phone to Gma and a mouse runs past my foot (sorry Gma, that was the shriek at the end of the call!). Anyway, was gonna have one of our 'çhilled nights' but thought may as well go out for a glass of wine to say goodbye to Airlee...was best place we'd been to so far! Had nice feel to it!!! We were getting picked up by the Spas Experience bus at 7am so aimed to be tucked up in our bunks by 12am! Of course that never happened....ended up ... read more

Heavenly Harvey Bay After our ordeal at Bundaberg we booked into a gorgeous YHA resort in Harvey Bay near the marina. It was lovely; bar, pool, spa, tennis court (not that we played!) great comfy sofas where they host games and quiz nights. The people that worked there were just great fun and we always met friendly people. We booked in for 2 nights and ended up staying 10! Bike ride We decided to be geeks for the day and rent out push bikes. We packed lots of water, fastened our helmets, and waited whilst Sharlene adjusted her seat, ha! and then we were off. We cycled all the way up the beach front along the Esplanade, into the bush and then back to the marina. Our bums were a little worse for wear the ... read more

Two in one day, I'm getting good at this now!! I'm actually in Byron Bay killing time waiting for the night bus, it's been really nice here a place I'd love to stay longer in, it's so chilled and relaxed, we took a stroll up the lighthouse and stood at the most Easternly point of Australia which is cool!! So a little more about Fraser island, we woke at about six to hear the boys suggesting they wake us up for the sunrise, luckily they decided to let us sleep (remember my comment about Anna and Charlotte being comatose?!) and went to the beach and watched it themselves, apparently we didn't miss much so I'm happy we got the extra hours sleep! We had some brekkie, packed up the truck and headed on our way! We ... read more
