Australia Part 2318 weeks ago
 
G'day Blog

Where did I last leave you? Somewhere south of Cairns I think.

Since then its been a lot of laughs and even more drunken shenanigans. Went to Magnetic Island which was very nice when it wasn't raining, with the backbackers right on the beach. Only negative about that was having to go thru Townsville to get there. The best way to describe Townsville is by comparing it to Grangemouth, no insult intended... well maybe a little. It was just so industrial.

Then onto Airlie beach, the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands. This has to be one of my favourite places in Oz so far even though it was only one street! I think a week here though was beginning to be a bit of overkill. The Whitsundays sailing though was great, white sands of Whitehaven, some proper sailing, acting as pirates and over taking a bar in the middle of nowhere, goon snorkelling, good food and enough drink to sink a battleship.

Fraser Island followed on and had a great time here on the self guided 4x4 adventure from Rainbow beach. Met some great people like the five girls from Ireland, you know who you are, and Jaygo and Tori. Sadly the Dutch and Germans did nothing to improve continental relations. Saw whales from Indian head, the amazing Lake MacKenzie and the cool Lake Wabby, which included streaking from 4 local guys the Dingos nearly got hold of their snags!

Noosa was one big piss up and a trip Australia Zoo. Had a party on the beach one night after being evicted from the hostel for making too much noise with our drinking games. And now I am in Brisbane detoxing... until tomorrow at least and Surfers Paradise.
