Metzo Noosa Resort

Nous y voici! En Australie! Apres les Fijis et la Nouvelle-Zelande nous sommes finalement arrives en Australie, principale destination de notre long periple. C'est par un lundi ensoleille et tres chaud que nous avons mis les pieds dans le pays de Skippy le Kangourou. Apres plus d'une heure dans les embouteillages de Sydney, quel changement par rapport a la Nouvelle-Zelande, si sauvage, nous sommes enfin arrives a notre hotel en plein coeur de la ville ...

... and shower and super new! We had dinner in a surf club which was totally packed with the holidays. That's where we discovered the barramundi, a local fish. We have no idea what it is apart from being a white fish. There was a casino attached to the restaurant and after playing one dollar, Sean won ten! Yes, that will pay for some petrol!

... and all ugly as ****. It was bizarre, it was like she was cloning them somewhere.) After emerging victorious from an attempt to build a dice out of nine blocks, I headed up to the Gallery of Modern Art to take a look around there. All the buildings in that area are pretty cool, they're all linked together in something called the Discovery Trail. There's a raised path leading from each place to each other place, and they've all got the same exterior ...

... to Brisbane is waiting and I hop on and do the hour long journey back up. I get off at Roma Street and as I lift my backpack a huge ripping sound is heard and I realise the strap isnt going to make it so drag the bag the remaining way off the platform. I stop and whip out my sewing kit and decide to do a quick job on it in the station. As I finish and reassemble the strap using the velcro I accidently get it put on the 'right way round' - i ...

... happened involving a few motorbikes, there where 3 ambulances and one biker was being put on a stretcher with a neck brace as we drove past. It's really scary to see but makes you extra cautious after seeing something like that. After taking the car back we had a walk round the valley - this can either be described as Brisbane's dodgy area or bohemian area. There are a few good bars and restaurants there so I like it. In the night at the weekend it can get a bit crazy though!!

... hier déjà on est arrivé 10 secondes trop tard à l'arrêt de bus, et ce matin rebelotte...Le type se serait vomi dessus 10 secondes plus tôt et on aurait pu prendre le bus a l'heure voulue ;-). Ca a pris pas mal de temps pour signer les papiers et vérifier l'état du véhicule mais à 11 hrs, on prenait enfin la route dans un super camping car avec canapé/lit, kitchenette, table, évier et eau courante...Et tout ça pour 1 dollar par jour. Nous devions être sur ...

... we were walking up to the lodge in the dark, I was first to walk up and walked in to a big spider web!!!! so freaked out!!! itchy rest of the evening!!! So we arrived in Byron Bay, exhausted and spent the next few days recovering!!! beaches were soo lovely. Really chilled out town. We left on monday and headed to Noosa via Greyhound, first trip - 6hours journey not too bad and we both slept. Not sure what the over night ones are going to be like!!! So we are in ...

The beach is absolutely gorgeuous. I have never been in such warm ocean water! For those afraid to go into the water because it feels so cold, you would not have a problem here. Except if you do not sense the wave coming in time and get pulled underwater and carried to ...

By the time we got back to Noosaville the sun was setting, resulting in one of those beautiful Aussie sunsets.



Not that I expect much/any sympathy, but unfortunately we've not really been able to relax much since we ...

... and we saw many animals from all over OZ, but the best parts for me was feeding the kangaroos, touching the koalas and most definitely the Crocoseum show. The show consisted of flying birds, slithering snakes and the much anticipated crocodile feeding by Steve Irwin's wife (Terry) and best mate Wes. As it was the school holidays Steve and Terry's daughter Bindi was doing some singing and dancing for the kids and they seemed to love it. I thought it was ...
