25: Airlie Beach – Sailing on the Waltzing Matilda
Friday 10th November 2006 Gateway to the Whitsundays, plenty of boats here in the marina waiting to take you sailing, diving or both. Airlie attracts the younger backpackers and has a party buzz about it. Have to say. Arriving in a place and knowing that your trips and activities are booked and sorted is quite [...]
26: whitsundays – Reef flight
Tuesday 14th November Today at 2:00pm we were to do a Scenic flight over the reef and Whitehaven beach. Andy was really fired up by this one. He had been looking forward to doing this since we left the UK, probably before. This was going to be a highlight of the east coast. The weather [...]
27: Town of 1770 to Bundaberg
Wednesday 15th November Travel day along the Bruce Highway towards Town of 1770. Pretty big one too as we drove over seven hundred Kilometres. By the time we got there it was getting dark. We had both driven just over four hours each and we were pretty tired. Thursday 16th November Got up when we [...]
28: Fraser Island – Day 1
Monday 20th November 2006 Fraser Island, what an experience four wheel driving and the biggest grin on your face. Michelle had been here before and knew what to expect. Andy didn’t really know what was coming. Other backpackers we had met that had done it before had said what a great time they had. We [...]
29: Fraser Island – Day 2
Tuesday 21st November 2006 The suggested itinerary we followed took us back down the beach on the east coast of the island heading south. The wreck of the Maheno was our first stop. A huge rusting hulk that ran aground makes for some great photographic moments. It was hot and everyone was ready for a [...]
30: Fraser Island – Day 3
Wednesday 22nd November 2006 Had breakfast, broke camp and packed the car. Lake Mackenzie was to be our first stop. Could have stayed there all day, it was very peaceful even though there were quite a few people there. Like Whitehaven Beach the silica sand is pure white and squeaks when you walk on it. [...]
31: Noosa
Thursday 23rd November 2006 Packed the van and drove to Noosa which was about 200 kilometres which only took a couple of hours. Noosa is very posh in fact it has some of the highest real estate prices in Australia. Even the campsite prices were a bit steep. The campsite we chose was just outside [...]
32: Sunshine Coast – Australia Zoo
Saturday 25th November 2006 So we were moving on further south towards Brisbane then on to the Gold Coast. There was to be one stop though. We really couldn’t leave the sunshine coast without a visit to Australia Zoo. Crickey! Steve Irwin’s legacy definitely lives on. The croc show started at 11:30am and we got there [...]
33: Gold Coast – School Friends
Sunday 26th November 2006 Today we were treated to a day out on the Narang River on Russ’ boat with the whole family. Russ and Nikki showed us around the intricate river systems and islands of Broadwater. The beautiful waterfront houses lined the way as we cruised down the beautifully flat water and chose our [...]
34: Gold Coast – Surfers Paradise
Monday 27th November 2006 After a lazy morning hanging around the house we went into Surfers Paradise and had a look around. It was schoolies so Queensland has lots of teenagers around enjoying the sunshine, particularly at Surfers. The sun was out with a vengeance so we took a break from it and had a [...]
35: Brisbane
Tuesday 28th November 2006 So we were back in a big city again. We checked into our hostel, a great big bright orange building called City Backpackers on Upper Roma Street and went and had a look around the city. Wednesday 29th November 2006 Now we may have mentioned about walking tours before. Not sure [...]
