... No WAY am I going anywhere near THAT cold water"). On the other hand, it seems that Steve is wanting to put in some T.O.W. to add this activity to his repetoire--so watch for that crazy surfer on the Dallas Road waterfront next time surfs up.
Next, as promised to the boys, we had to choose a Theme Park for a ONE and only ONE day of thrills and spills. Our choices included Seaworld, Movieworld, Wet N' Wild, Dreamworld and Whitewater World. Since our ...

... altitude of 230m and enjoyed the contrast between water front heavily covered by tall hotels and the sea covered by tall waves. The afternoon I spent by the beach, observing the surfers and reading The Catcher in The Rye, which kind of fitted the occasion. Real must when in Brisbane is a detour to the North Stradbroke Island. I liked it a lot and stayed overnight. First day I walked the beaches ...

... the hostel playing basketball, tennis etc with some of the others knocking around. That evening we had a little party in room 13. We invited a few people from the hostel, it was good craic. Except the hostel didnt allow alcohol in so we had an army like mission to smuggle it in. A few beer runs later we had 50 beers in our room ready to drink! We played a few drinking games then made it into town. We bounced ...

... back for another go on the Spooky Coaster and then again on the Wild West Falls. It was about 11am by then and we headed to find mum and Celeste, who were doing some shopping, before we went to the 11.30 session of the Police Show. Even though the show has been going for years and I have seen it atleast 10 times, it is still enjoyable to watch everytime. Before the show starts, they have a policeman out the front that is a ...

... beat down by his surfing efforts but the waves were very different than the ones we learned on. He is a quick learner and would not have a problem if we lived closer to the ocean! Our only other thing to report in Surfer's is that we stayed at the WRONG hostel for us...it was run down and FILLED with Swedish college students who partied all night long. We over heard a ...

... up!!!! Dustin said twice he arrived on shore with his shorts at his ankles, quickly pulled them into place and retreated into the waves....there were hundreds of onlookers on the shore so this must have been quite a site to see!?!!?!? The life guards were also out in force ~ there were 2 life guards on surf boards sitting past the Rip, 1 lifeguard in a zodiac making quick rescues, and almost 7 lifeguards ...

... forever! I arrived in Surfer's Paradise ecstatic to see and eat at a McDonalds. I ended up eating McDonalds twice in an eight hour period. It was fantastic! I think my love for McDonalds grew with abstenance. While in Surfer's I stayed with my friend Chelsey's ex-boyfriend. He runs pub crawls in Surfer's and took me out both nights. It is awfully hard to explain how I felt when I arrived in Surfer's. I spent two months in ...

... some Rather dodgy local girls we danced the night away until 3am. Day 50 - Up relatively early we set off for the long drive to Coffs Harbour. We arrived 5 1/2 hours later and checked into the nice and new YHA hostel minutes from the beach. We went for a nice meal and went into town for a few beers, unfortunately for us the last bar closed at 11pm - a little different to what we were used to in Sydney! So it was the long walk back ...

... week, including last Sunday which she's so far stuck to. I left Peterpans earlier than expected last Saturday as I had to make my way over to the Gabba. I had to wear a white shirt, which was creased to bits but the girl from the agency who checked me in at the Gabba couldn't say a word. I got put on a snack bar on the upper tier of the stadium and had to serve fish and chips for 3 hours. I also had to take money off people for the food and become a bit of a dab hand on the till. I ...

... downwards to Mackay and what a hunk of **** that place was. Mackay's only redeeming feature is that it makes every other place in the world look good, and we left at the first available opportunity in search of Town of 1770. Now if there was ever going to be an award for the Laziest Town-Naming Committee, Town of 1770 would undoubtedly win hands down, but fortunately, this small quiet village is splendid and full of cheap activities to boot. We took mopeds on the ...
