Australia!
From Fiji we flew to Brisbane- where wer were to discover that they decided to leave our backpacks in NZ (apparently they didn't want to leave either!) due to this they gave us $100 each - bargin! Decided we'd use this money wisley and by a flight up to Cairns, which meant we ended up getting three flights in one day- a record for me so far! Arriving at the airport at midnight we stayed there and safe to say our first night on australian soil was freezing as the air con. was so high!
Spent a week in cairnss sorting ourselves out etc. Lovely place with the best artificial lagoon i've ever seen!!! The main thing we noticed is that everyone is bronzed and beautiful!!Def. makes you suck in your stomach at all times!
From cairns we travelled to townsville and over to magnetic island- the bumpiest ferry crossing i've ever been on- think the driver had somewhere else to be!! Beautiful little island and good camping ground- oh yeah we've bought a tent to save on finances- Fuzz made us decorate it accordingly! So we now have a tent with brighton written on it! Home away from home and all that!
Next was our Whitsundays sailing trip which was fantastic fun! A great group of people and brilliant stop offs on the way! Sleeping was a little tricky what with all the swaying but hey we got through it!
After this it was time for our next prepaid trip- Fraser island- which is the largest sand island in the world! Got a self drive deal so we grouped up with 9 other people to drive around th eisland for 3 days! Have to admit driving on sand was sometime a little scary and i managed to fly off a shelf of a creek at some point- but every one escaped unharmed! 2 cars from our hostel went at the same time so the 22 of us stuck together for the whole trip- once again it was mainly english people! Great time including games of light night football and reverting to playground games like stuck in the mud and duck duck goose!( Fuzz was to thank for these bad boys!)
Now we're on the gold coast staying with a friend of ours from queenstown- it's nice to be in a proper house and bed for a change! Richie took us out to surf today and safe to say i couldn't even get balanced lying down let alone standing up! but was great fun all the same.
Right that's it for now! Hope everyone is well!
