Strax soder om Brisbane ligger guldkusten, paradis for surfare och semesterfirare. Vi taltar pa en campingplats i Main Beach och tar helt enkelt semester ett tag. Vi promenerar langs stranden, solar (las skuggar) och badar i jattevagorna. Vi gor aven utflykter till temaparker i omradet. "Wet'n'Wild", ar ett stort vattenleksomrade med flera olika sorters vattenrutchbanor av olika laskighetsgrad. Jattekul. Pa "Seaworld" har de delfinshow, salshow, vattenskidshow och lite andra roliga djur. Vi ser bla sma bla pingviner och dugonger. Pa "Dreamworld" tittar vi pa andra djur, koalor, dingor, krokodiler, ormar, skoldpaddor, papegojor, emuer, tigrar och klappar kangurur. Dit akte vi dock mest for att aka bergochdalbana och liknande.

Hi you lot! Now onto my favourite part of the trip so far - Fraser Island. (Well we stopped in Brisbane on the way here but not much to report, pretty average city.) Just me and Millsy now as the other two are heading back to Sydney. Fraser is the world's largest sand island (not that you'd know it as most of the sand is covered in dense rainforest) and you need a 4WD as there are no real roads. Luckily we have Millsy's mum's car although it's not in quite such good condition as when we set out...... We got stuck in the sand before we even got onto the island! Then we got stuck 3 more times, requiring tows. And worst of all we impaled the car on a tree when reversing to avoid ... read more

Today we got up early to get to the harbour at 7.30 to set sail at 8.30 to the great barrier reef. It took about 2 hours to get to 'Hastings Reef'. We went snorkelling for a while then had lunch on the boat. Our first ozzie bbq with proper fish and everything! we then made our way to 'Saxon Reef', which was so much prettier. i wanted to spend longer in the sea but got back onto the boat because we wanted to go in the semi submarine. straight from that we got a little speed boat to a pooey platform ready for the helicopter ride. It was only about 10mins but had great views. as we got back in the little speed boat to get back to our boat we heard a pop, and ... read more
