Queensland!!

Hi all!! Had a great time in Byron Bay, we then headed up to Brisbane, which was lovely.We had 3 nights there, really nice city, despite it raining all day long when we arrived!

We then went up to Noosa, really loved it there, beautiful beaches with lovely rainforest right by the sandy beaches. We went to Australia Zoo for the day (Steve Irwins zoo) was fab!! We saw
Terri Irwin do the croc wrestling show, great! and we saw Bindi Irwin perform her songs with the 'crocmen!' a little strange, but the crowd and all the little kids loved it.

We are now in Rainbow beach, just arrived back from a 2 day trip to Fraser Island, had sooo much fun! Had a great aussie tour guide, his fave word was 'fairdinkum!' Had a really nice group, and the island was amazing. We did a little plane ride over the island and we saw humpback whales splashing about in the ocean!! Swam in lake mckenzie, beautiful, sooo clear although was a little cold!!

We head up to airlie beach tomorrow, (18 hours in the Greyhound!) then go on our whitsundays sailing tour from there. We have booked a few days up in Cape Tribulation, staying in a beach house up there and going 'Jungle surfing' (flying through the canopys in a harness thing apparantly...!)

We head out to NZ on the 23rd from Cairns, a week sooner than planned, money running out so just speeding things up a little ;(

Soph and Si XXX!
