... been told any! Perhaps it is just a black rock with no specific importance.<br><br>While we were walking through the forest, we noticed that lots of the trees seem to have lost or be losing their bark. These trees stand out really smooth and pale compared to the others. In UK we had always learned that if you take the bark off a tree the whole way round, the tree will die but it is not clear that this applies to Ozzie trees! We require help from those of our friends ...

We headed off once again, found our site in Rowes Bay, got settled in and took a walk along the seafront to re-visit Harold&#8217;s for fish and chips! Sunset across the bay was beautiful and we saw a little of the residential ...

... have done it again, we have run into some fellow travellers, a family that we met whilst in Tasmania (back in March). We were at the water park and it was Jacob whom they recognised of course, I guess he is just one of those kids who is not easy to forget.<br><br>So from here on we are planning to just inch our way up the coast to Cooktown, before heading back down again, we are trying to wind down before we get back to homeland.<br><br>Over and out for now!

... to Sydney for a couple of weeks before continuing south into Adelaide. Im hoping the last thing i will do before i come back will be to head to Alice Springs and Uluru (ayres rock) and also cehcking out Darwin and Kakadu national park. <br><br>So for the next month i will be on my lonesome but with the friendly atmosphere at the hostels im sure i will make new friends i have done at every other hostel. I will probably update you all in the next week or 2.<br><br>Take care all!<br><br>Smoody

Zu meiner Ueberaschung war die komplette Economie Class ausgebucht, weswegen ich "leider" fuer den gleichen Preis in die Buisness Class wechseln musste. <br><br>Auf Magnetic Island angekommen traf mich dann das Backpackerleben mit voller Wucht. Ich musste ploetzlich selber kochen Geschirr spuehlen und einfach mit tausenden mir unbekannten Viechern unter einem Dach leben. Doch dieser Schock legte ...

... desk (thank God we stop at a big enough stop that has a Greyhound desk!) and ask them to phone up the cafe... but they haven't found anything.... and that is when I realise that a lot more is missing from my bag.... my passeport, my camera.... and it hits me: I was robbed on the bus!!... but it is too late, everyone has now left the bus... <br><br>So here I am, in the middle of ghost town Townsville (a very very weird town), on my own, with no money, no credit/debit card, no phone ...

... a breakfast by the sea we went for a trail walk. During a few hours we were rewarded by some really breath-taking vistas over bays, beaches and forests. Maggie, as Magnetic Island is known among locals, hosts the biggest community of wildlife koalas and we were lucky to see one taking a nap on a tree. Radical beach looked fantastic from the hill. That's why we ended up our visit to the island over there. Afraid of stingers ...
