Obligatory East Coast Adventure: Day 14

Ok so the ScooterRoo tour didn't start until the afternoon so I duly dragged myself out of bed for the morning $14 group surf lesson, again without Irma because drowning isn't her idea of fun. As you travel from north to south, Agnes Waters is the first place with anything resembling surf, its...

Back to Land - Night 34

We all awoke a bit groggy after last night’s partying. Rob and I had made loose plans to catch the Sunrise at the Maheno wreck; Rob was late, I didn’t show. Everyone quickly finished off the remaining breakfast food and packed up the troupee. Lake Wabby, a small lake slowly being engulfed by...

Sand and Sea - Night 33

As usual, I was the first to awake despite my bout of wine drinking the night before. My customary morning walk took me down to the sea and then north to the Pinnacles, strange sand blown formations much like the Badlands of South Dakota. Upon my return the group was up and at em’, so we left...

Obligatory East Coast Adventure: Day 12 & 13

Beef consumption in Rockhampton is compulsory so we munched on a steak at the Great Western before driving down to the much raved about Town Of 1770 and Agnes Waters. We arrived on Sunday and spent the entire Monday trying to work out what people love so much about this place, we drove around,...

Big Things #35

Rockhampton in Queensland, the beef capital of Australia. In case you weren't aware of this fact when you rocked up and were welcomed by this over sized steak.

First Day on Fraser

After our short introductory meeting we left the Next Backpackers hostel around 9pm for the drive to the ferry terminal. We were early enough to be the first ones on, which meant we would be the first ones off once the boat was docked on the Island. The sea was rough and 45 minute crossing was...

Trip to Hervey Bay - Night 31

I awoke around 4 am with a sewing needle stabbing me in the ass. Apparently someone had left one on/in the mattress I had stolen and set outside to sleep on. Son of bitch that hurt. I managed to squeeze out another hour of marginally sound sleep before waking for good. Showered, packed my...

Last Day of Volunteering - Night 30

After packing up our gear and giving the cabins a thorough clean we made our way down to Buckley’s Hole for one last go at the weeds. Again the morning sky was cloudy, but soon gave way to a beautiful spring day. Shane was off for the day, so the CVA crew worked in anonymity until about 11 am...

Obligatory East Coast Adventure: Day 11

Stiiiiill pissing it down so we gave the National Park a miss this time because trees and soil are only fun in the sunshine and carried on towards Rockhampton and the Olsen Capricorn Caves so called because a bloke called Olsen discovered them and they're right near the Tropic Of Capricorn. Just...

Obligatory East Coast Adventure: Day 10

We drove down to Mackay and stopped off at the visitor centre to get information off a jolly old bloke who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near members of the general public. After he'd finished staring at my tits and making us cringe with his sexual innuendos followed by the line, "You couldn't...
