Shopping all morning (had to get our bearings) then met up with Wendy at the station in the afternoon. We got her settled in the hostel (which is 5 seconds walk from the station!) Then we went for a bit of a walk in Botanic Gardens. We thought we'd found the open air cinema, but we asked about it when we got back to the hostel and apparently an open air hostel doesn't even exist. Well done Skinny! hehe! We felt like going out that night, so we got our flip flops on, did a lot of walking to find some place lively and half decent, but no where let us in with flip flops on. so we walked alllllll the way back again... read more

We are in Shark Bay, Western Australia, right now. It really lives up to its name - there are shark everywhere. We have seen so many from the beach, gliding by as a dark shadow in the turquoise water. We've also seen turtles, rays, sea snakes, and dugongs in unbelievable quantities. However, what the area is really famous for are the friendly dolphins. Every day, the local conservation group feeds them fish right off shore in about knee height water. Both Scott and I got to hand feed them - it was amazing! Later that day, we were in the "swim zone" and about three dolphins happened to swim by. We had our snorkels on so of course started looking under water for them when suddenly I felt something big nudge me. I assumed it was ... read more

Kayla and I are currently in Noosa Heads. We had a small bus ride from Brisbane which wasnt too bad at all. We bought a bus pass for 200 dollars traveling with Greyhound Australia. Its really neat becuase we can make as many stops as we want inbetween Brisbane and Cairns. We had chosen to stop at Noosa , Rainbow Beach , Hervey Bay ( for Fraser Island) , then take a 12 hour bus ride all the way to Airlie Beach where we will book our sailing trip to the Whitsunday Islands. Kayla and I are most excited for this , all our fellow travelers have pumped us up and spoken about how lovely this trip is. Beautiful Scenery , scuba diving along the Barrier Reef. We are staying at the Koala Hostel in Noosa ... read more
