So Mickey Blue came with me to Circa, a posh restaurant, for my final dinner in Australia. Thanks for entertaining me on my last week in Oz. We were completely underdressed. I didn’t feel the slightest bit uncomfortable though except when our wiater, James, came to give us the specials I felt like he was […]

Booked a day trip to Moreton Island but because the weather forcast is crappy, the comopany has cancelled all trips until Saturday, the day after I leave. I”ve moved to a different hostel because the first one I booked had really loud music coming from the night club seeping into the room. Then the second […]

Fraser Island
by Bertha on 16. Jun, 2006 in Australia 2005
Fraser Island is a beautiful place, we managed to see Lake MacKenzie, and the famous Maheno shipwreck and I paid for a scenic flight above the island. Although not as spectacular as I think flying over the Whitsundays would have been, it was nice to see the shipwreck from the air, the forest touching the […]

Now back on dry land for about an hour and I’m feeling like every building is rocking back and forth. It’s not me, it’s the entire town of Airlie! Had a great time on the boat although the weather wasn’t so cooperative. Luxury Tall ship sailing on the Whitsunday Magic Met lots of Canadians on […]

Finding Nemo
by Bertha on 07. Jun, 2006 in Australia 2005
Took a day snorkel trip to the outter barrier reef where the more beautiful coral and fish are. Had the opportunity for a beginner’s dive but it wasn’t needed to see everything. At some points the reef is only about a couple of feet away from the surface and the fish aren’t scared at all […]
