Still on the Road

O.k when I last posted we were in Noosa I think and It was there that I booked my flight home and our Whitsundays Tour.

Well we are in Airlie Beach now and here is a round up of what we have done between there and here.

Rainbow Beach: Really pleasent little beach town, Paul and I had to get different bus's here because we didnt book them together. Chilled out on the beach for a few days and went on some walks. Met up with Scottish Stu and James and also met some lads who went to Leeds Met.

Bundaberg: Good God - Right we went there knowing that it was a hole and we were not proved wrong. The reason we went was to see the Loggerhead Turtles giving birth on the beaches. We went and it was excellent. One of the few places in the world you can see this. We saw two mother loggerheads burying their eggs on the shore and one of which layed her eggs to close to the water so we we helped relocate the eggs. It was great and met some cool people on the trip too. Bundaberg is a dive, Its full of chavs who want to earn minimage wage on their holiday by picking 4,000 plums a day. Met some reall plonkers at this hostel and was a pleasure to leave.

1770 and Agnes Water: Next up was this tiny little beach village with only 600 inhabitants. It was here we met Carla, Irish and Heather aka H, Heavy, Animal and others. She is a living legend and with time will have her own blog entry with photos. Had a good time there chilling out and much laughs were had. We are hopefully meetign up with a few of the 1770 crew in Cairns or Airlie.

Rockhampton: Is truly in the same league as Bundaberg for being inbread; think there is a population of 40,000 and only three different surnames in the yellow pages....go figure??
It is the beef capital of Australia though. We got there late on Thursday night as we were meeting Stephen King formerly of Tring on the Friday morning. Checked in at midnight and found the two scariest guys in our room. There bottom lips were like bannanas and they looked like they had been in the sun far too much. So it was that I went to sleep clutching my wallet/passport and phone in one hand used the other hand as a sort of security guard for my underwear.

Yeppoon or wherever it is that Steve lives: Friday morn wake surprised to be still alive and met up with Steve, Daniel, Alex and Julliette who are all doing research in marine Biology. Had a couple of days there with the lads and it was quality catching up with the boys, Just lads chat and that. Bloke stuff you know. Will post more photos when in cairns but unfortunatly nowher in Airlie beach allows you to use usb cables.

Airlie Beach: The site uponm which Claire and I got more smashed that i have ever done in my life, Claire will promise to try and do the same with Paul. We arrived here today at 6:30am and booked in and slept till about 1pm. Off on a 3day/3 night whitsundays tour tommoz. All food and Drink Inc. so will be rinsing that. Then when we return to Airlie it is Australia day so prob have a drink or two and shout stuff about how good England is...Loudly.

Right laters Peacekeepers - Will update soon

Coming up; Cairns, Cape Trib and then a 5day road trip to Darwin.
