Hey so we got in to brisbane on a saturday late - everything of course is closed on sunday - so monday we hit it up got our visas and anz (pronounced zed)accounts for banking - our personal financial team was quick to respond to our request for an international transfer - then we spent some time figuring things out and in a bold move we booked a...

As I typed my previous entry I was watching overcast skies over Byron Bay hoping that the weather would eventually clear up so I could enjoy my final day there. With 20-20 hindsight, I should've been satisfied with overcast. A few hours after making that posting, the skies opened up and with the exception of a few hours here and there where it c...

My last day in Singapore was faily uneventful as it poured with reain almost all day again! However we still went for a walk around the resevoir which was really fun especially as we saw all of the monkeys. In no real hurry to go back but I am sure that there is much more to see and do than I managed to find. Arrived in Brisbane last night and w...

Brisbane, where do I start? Nothing extraordinary happened here. It is the first bigger city since we left Adelaide in the end of November. It is just a city as every other city and I think I have realised that I enjoy nature experiences more than city life, at least while travelling. Got to Brisbane bus terminal at 12:00 and got picked up by th...

Hartnett and Marie picked me up from the airport in Brisbane in their shiny new car and I checked into their old hostel in the West End. I needed to find work really quickly after so long on the road so I started looking first thing the next morning. The first phone call I made got me an interview for the next day where I was offered a job on t...

Arrived in Brisbane at 6.00 am. Met Matt at the Airport. Booked into a Hostel. Booked our Camper Van for the next 7 days to get to sydney. Our adventure begins tomorrow at 11.00, when we are due to pick up our rental. Pretty excited. I am long overdue a clothes wash, an am wearing the only clean clothes i have left. Fraser Island left everything...

Well, what can I say? To answer my own question, I don't know. There really isn't much to say about Brisbane, so this will be a short entry. I arrived from Rainbow Beach mid afternoon. On the way I had realised that it was Australia Day and frantically tried to find a hostel to stay in, luckily managing to find a spot at a hostel called Somewher...

I was less than impressed to see thick black clouds outside the aeroplane's windows, as we descended into Brisbane. It was a bumpy affair too, with one sudden drop causing everyone on board to yelp momentarily. I was therefore glad when we touched down successfully shortly after 4pm local time. Stood waiting for the shuttle bus, I appreciated ho...

Headed off from Hervey Bay in the early morning (had to get up at 5am!!) to go to Brisbane! Tomorrow is Australia Day so a decent sized city should be the place to be. Arrived at lunchtime and checked into the Palace Central Backpackers which on the face of it should have been a large sized party hostel. This it turned out to be, with the only p...

Next stop was Brisbane. We had to say our goodbyes to the last of our friends from Fraser Island which was sad and off we went on our own again. We stayed at Bunk in Brisbane for 2 nights. The hostel was nice but not as good as everyone made out to us. They have a nice bar area with nightly entertainment going on. On our first night we watched K...
