Well it was an early start this morning, with the Wayoutback safari bus picking me up at the hostel at 06:45!!!! The safari group consisted of 14 people in total, 10 females and 4 blokes!!! This consisted of a number of nationalities, 5 English, 4 Swiss, 3 German, 1 French and 1 Irish. The group is all young people, I think I'm probably the oldest. The tour guide is called "Sauce", and it's fair to say he is a typical Aussie. We started off with a cup of tea at the url=http://www.about-australia.com/travel-guides/northern-territory/alice-springs/attractions/building-structure/anzac-hill/Anzac Hill Memorial, gives a spectacular sunrise view over Alice!! After that it was a pretty grueling drive in the baking sun to the url=http://www.australia.travelmall.com/travelmall/attraction/Red%20Centre%20and%20Central%20Australia%20(NT)/The%20Olgas/the Olgas.

sharky, the boats hostess, woke us at 6:30 am ready for the 7:00 dive - 100km out to sea! The sea was pretty rough and I was glad to get under the water and actually start diving. I buddied up with Kim, who had at that point only dived 4 times and had gained her open water certification, and Lizette who had logged a similar number of dives to me. We saw a few big fish including some massive potato cod and 3 or more reef sharks. The second dive of the day was to the same site - but this time we took down a box with cut up pilchards in it to feed the cod. They would come up to the box, and then dart forwards with their huge mouths wide open to gulp ... read more

12.03.06~ Well we were up bright and early this morning ready for our day out at Australia Zoo...home of the crocodile hunter-Steve Irwin! Before we left we said a very quick goodbye to Mel & Andy as they were heading up north today! It took about an hour on the coach to get to the zoo, where we got to watch Steve Irwins life story. The Zoo was much bigger than we expected and we got to see loads of animals including Kangaroos, Dingoes, the tasmanian devil and even Koalas...which i finally got to hold-so cute!! 15.03.06~We arrived in Brisbane a couple of days ago, and as Sean had been here before he got in touch with the friends he'd stayed with (Phil & Nan) and they invited us over. We caught the bus into logan ... read more
