Travel Blogs from Queensland, Australia
Bungle Bungles at last
This is a top pick! Great news - we can get into the Bungle Bungles, so we decamped at 6am so Adrian could get into Zeebeedee springs before anyone else. A brisk morning walk and lukewarm springs before breakfast - oh joy. As the water temperature was above freezing, I ...
Encounters with cuttlefish
This is a top pick! ... on their windscreens. However, I found myself missing central heating, and so when school holidays rolled around I headed farther north, to Queensland. My goal for the first week was to explore the Great Barrier Reef. I signed up for a dive course and ...
Back in Australia
This is a top pick! Hello to everyone. We are back in Australia. We arrived back on Mon 11th of September at 11.15am. Shane was there to pick us up from the airport and bring us back to Homer (So different then the last time we arrived). When we arrived back at ...
Road trippin'
This is a top pick! Just a quickie So we decided to do a road trip with some friends we met up with in Cairns....that we originally met on our sailing trip around the Whitsundays.... the road trip crew were B, Tony, Katy, Nic, Me and Zo. Katy was designated driver ...
Home again, home again jiggity jig!
This is a top pick! ... slept on and off. We touched down in Brisbane at about 6.30am and it felt good to be in Australia and see the sun and feel it's Queensland warmth. Passport control lines were reasonable and moving. Customs they just asked us questions and then we were ...
Queensland - The Sunshine Coast 13 - 23 April 2011
This is a top pick! ... very similar to its namesake, with modern concrete buildings by the river. The South Bank includes a Natural History Museum, the Queensland Art Gallery and the Modern Art Gallery and it’s all free. Debs took me to the train station first ...
Cape Tribulation
This is a top pick! Despite my tour guide's original omission from our proposed route, I thought one of the few places in the world where tropical rainforest meets the sea was worth a gander! Only accessible from the south by a cable ferry, Sophie got straight into the ...
Atherton Tablelands
This is a top pick! Still reeling from the Great Barrier Reef, Australia continued to impress us with the rolling countryside of the Atherton Tablelands. We spent a lovely day driving around the many sweeping green hills and farms. We stopped initially at Lake Barrine and ...
Mount Larcom
This is a top pick! After the joys of the Whitsunday Islands the following day we decided to make some progress as we plunged south on Highway 1. Mackay didn't bring the chunky slab of carrot cake we had been hoping for after we had heard on the radio it was a ...
Mission Beach
This is a top pick! Mission Beach, stretching for 14kms of beautiful sand looking out to Dunk Island, was another beautiful Aussie beach. Camping right up on the beach front, as some skydivers parachuted onto the beach, with a stubby and a pancake, was a bearable way to ...
Townsville
This is a top pick! ... and then headed via a series of very enjoyable hair-pin bends and a delightful dirt track to Wallaman Falls. At 278kms this is Australia's longest single drop waterfall, and it is amazing. Arriving into the car park at the top of the drop it was ...
Noosa
This is a top pick! Lovely Noosa treated me very well, after all that driving to get there. The morning was spent walking along the harbour, and visiting the many lovely shops, a significant amount of which I looked for too dishevelled to even window shop in. Then ...
Palm Beach and more of Sydney
This is a top pick! No blog as such in that there is no real write up, just some more photos of our time in Sydney and of Palm Beach which is north of Sydney as it better known as Summer Bay, location of Aussie soap opera Home and Away. We hope you enjoy the ...
(Martin) Laurence of Australia (& Kate)
This is a top pick! Get it? Laurence of Australia instead of Laurence of Arabia? Fraser Island = Sand = Arabia = Laurence = Martin. Well I liked it anyways. Sorry. Apologising at the start of a blog is never a good thing. An early start as promised. Alarm ...
XXXX and the City
This is a top pick! ... on where you buy it. The choice was from the top selling 'XXXX Gold' (second in Australia to 'VB'), 'XXXX Bitter' (only really sold well in Queensland - a bitter lager), 'Summer Bright XXXX' (a Corona alternative, now outselling Corona at number 10 ...
Wet and Windy in the Whitsundays - Day 3
This is a top pick! ... man was yet another lovely German we had met on this part of the trip. Luke and Fiona were great fun and spoke enthusiastically of Australia, and some of the places we are yet to visit – but yet reminded us that a lot of people here have ventured ...
On to the Whitsundays
This is a top pick! After a few hours of sleep I'm off to the airport to fly to Hamilton Island where I'm tasked with finding a hotel room on arrival. They are all quite expensive and I get myself a bungalow which isn't as nice as it should be for the price, but I ...
Noosa
This is a top pick! Finally a day of full on sunshine and we're in the right place to make the most of it. We dump our bags at the YHA and head to the beach which is similar to Bondi with lots of people and big waves. We bump into Kate and Woody who we met at Ningaloo and ...
Cairns
This is a top pick! 13 hours after we leave Perth we finally land in Cairns and check in to the YHA Esplanade. We spend time here booking all of our trips and the travel down the east coast. We've got a few days here before and after all of our side trips and we manage to ...
The Great Barrier Reef
This is a top pick! Despite my best efforts, I can't find anyone who will do an overnight sailing trip because the minimum needed is two and I decide it isn't worth the extra money. Instead, I wind up doing a day boat trip. I hop on the boat bright and early and ...
Touchdown in Queensland
This is a top pick! Hey I'm in Queensland! This is the last leg of my Australian tour, ten days of East Coast adventure: I'm planning to visit the Whitsunday Islands for a bit of sailing, and also do a self drive tour across Fraser Island (the world's largest sand ...
Sailing the Whitsundays
This is a top pick! In less than four hours I'll be setting sail for the Whitsunday Islands on board the twelve berth 1928 classic gaff rigged ketch known as "Ron of Argyll". This vessel has a lot of history (King George V was a regular crew member and Marilyn Monroe a ...
Cairns without the Energy
This is a top pick! ... town is set up to cater for tourists and there doesn't appear to be that many of them at the moment. It looks as if Australia is going to be a little like the UK but warmer, sadly filled with drunks and the getting drunk. The streets are packed with ...
Sea World
This is a top pick! ... lies the Gold Coast, home to numerous Theme Parks that definitely interested me. I'd decided to wait and go to Dream World, Australia's version of Alton Towers, with Donna when she arrives on 1st December. Going on rollercoasters is more fun if you are ...
Time for the GBR!
This is a top pick! GBR? Like... The Great Barrier reef... Please try to follow. Yup , I'm here in Cairns and what better to do here than scuba dive? I figure as long as I'm in the largest coral reef in the world (Approx. 2000 Km long , twice as big as Israel) I might as ...
Brisbane
This is a top pick! I am awoken by the storms a few times through the night and decide that it is time for me to move on when I see the cloud cover once arising from my deep slumbers. Breakfast is taken next to some koalas which are conveniently housed a short stone ...
Final leg of the road trip - Gold Coast to Cairns
This is a top pick! ... it up the coast - our intended destination, BEERWAH!! Where? We hear you cry. Beerwah! Home of Australia Zoo and stomping ground of the late, great, Steve 'The Crocodile Hunter' Irwin. CRIKEY!!!! From the ...
Road trip part 3 - Melbourne to Gold Coast
This is a top pick! ... . A small peninsular north of Newcastle....Yes you may have gathered or already know that a lot of the place names in Australia are English. (digressing) there is an Oxford, Torquay...even a Rotherham Road! So back at Lemon tree Passage we settle in for ...
Fraser Island
This is a top pick! Chucking down with rain when we arrive in Hervey Bay and continues for the rest of the day. Staying at A1 Fraser Roving which is a pretty nice hostel. Raining again the next day and we get a storm that night - off to Fraser Island in the morning, if it ...
