Blogs from Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia, Oceania - page 4

You should not forget that the first aim of our drive north was to find a job. We often looked at the ad on internet, asked some people, but we haven´t looked for really deeply yet. We woke some morning really early to ask farms but until here no success. Anyway approaching Brisbane, the idea was now to drive till there, do all the must do on the road and stop if we might see some work opportunities. Thus after the wonderful whitsundays, we continued south and we found more must do than jobs, so we did the must do :) The first coming up is the.......whales watching (it could almost be called whales touching!!) in Hervey Bay. That was a magical and unique experience. As usual, we showed in the early morning in order to ... read more

Welcome back. You have been gone for a while. While you have been gone, we have been having a holiday. Once on the road again after replacing the broken spring in Maidenwell, we finally reached our destination of Hervey Bay. When we stayed at Tamworth, we were asked if we had booked somewhere, because it will be very busy. Of course we hadn’t, because we have a tendency to stop when we feel like it, hence no definite plans. Taking that question as a bit of sage advice, we studied the accommodation guide to find a park that would take dogs. The first one I rang had a site for us and would hold it. That wasn’t so hard after all. We loved Hervey Bay when we were last here, a lovely seaside town, the hub ... read more

Geo: -25.2836, 152.836Wir stehen abermals zeitig auf, denn bevor uns die viel zu wenige Zeit die wir in Australien haben weiter die Küste hinauf treibt hat Al uns eingeladen heute noch einmal mit ihm Surfen zu gehen.Ich zeige Ellie bevor diese zur Arbeit muss noch einmal wie Travelpod funktioniert, denn nachdem ich gestern ein paar unserer Einträge gezeigt hatte, möchte sie am Liebsten auch einen anlegen für ihre vielen Reisen.Als wir das geschafft haben, pflege ich noch ein wenig unseren Blog und dann geht es auf in Richtung Strand und Wellen...Al ist ein guter Lehrer und lässt mich am Strand erst einmal Trockenübungen machen. Das hat zur Folge, dass ich dieses mal tatsächlich die zweite Welle die ich erwische dazu nutzen kann auch aufzustehen und dem Surfgefühl wie es sein soll etwas näher zu kommen. Und ... read more

After getting back from Fraser Island, we had a massive after party in one of the few bars on Rainbow Beach, though the bar closed at mid-night, so we went back to the backpackers, which was just across the road and got more beer out of the dorm... continued drink by the pool. Really nice group of people, Pontus, an English guy and 2 girls from the Netherlands... 2 Germans came and joined us abit later... can't really be a backpacker party without Germans right? With 7 of us by the pool, the beer didn't last very long... The next morning was a struggle to get up at 9am to pack our bags and check out by 10am, because the backpacker has a policy it is called 'YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE' meaning if you sleep in ... read more
