... bekommen nie genug von Koalas, der Zoo war also der erste Anlaufpunkt. Alle waren wieder erstaunt, dass diese Einrichtungen sehr haeufig keine Eintrittsgelder verlangen. Im botanischen Garten wurden die exotischen Pflanzen begutachtet und dann ging es ins Hotel. Eine Stunde spaeter waren wir wieder auf dem Weg, Glenmore Homestead stand auf dem Program und "bloody" George sorgte mit australischer Folklore fuer Unterhaltung.

... while the offspring clear off and pay no attention to their aging parents. <br><br>In case you think we were unlucky to meet two such boring people, we also met another member of the shell collectors club who tried to suggest that collecting shells by taking large quantities of living shellfish from the sea is justifiable because cyclones actually do much more damage! The woman explained that these days no-one makes shell ornaments, such as the ...

... area. As I turned out 1779 and it&#8217;s close neighbour Agnes Water are both very small seaside resorts quite pleasant but not of great interest otherwise. 1770 is so called because it was first charted by Captain Cook in &#8211; guess! &#8211; yes you&#8217;ve got it, there is large sheltered harbour and lots of clean sandy beaches. I spent the day on the beach which was relaxing and enjoyable, the sun was hot but the water quite cold. Tomorrow on to Hervey Bay and Fraser Island.

It's official. The verdict is in. I am finally and truly sick to death of my car. <br><br>It has had the usual run of car problems over the years, needing new tyres, CV joints, brakes and all the other things you would expect to have to replace on a car. But there have been some remarkably odd things as well. <br><br>The exhaust pipe fell off the car. The engine fell out of the car. The driver&#8217;s side door decided, at one point, to permanently lock itself ...

Nach dem wir McDonalds an diesem Tag den Rücken kehrten, führte uns die Straße vorbei an d** Bundab**g Rum Distill**y zu einem 96 Met** hohem B**g namens Hummock, von dem man eine schöne Aussicht üb** die Zuck**rohrfeld** um Bundab**g, den Ozean und die Stadt selbst hatte. An diesem Aussichtpunkt aus ist dann Dirk das **ste mal in die Fahr**seite uns**es Van eingestiegen und bis Bargara, einem Ort am Me**, gefahren. Wir waren nach wie vor auf d** Suche nach ein** Dusche, die wir dann etwas ...

If I get this right, then it'll be the most compelling thing you've read since hungry hungry caterpillar all those years ago. When I booked my Fraser Island and Whitsunday trips, I was advised to visit Great Keppel Island in days between the two. Faced with the choice of going to a place that exhibits such arrogance in it's name, I had no option but to go. I thought I was spending a night on the island but it turned out I was staying on the mainland and just going for a ...

... a load of batter. We then called at the convenience store and got some beans for tomorrow for breakfast. After dinner we strolled back to the complex and watched TV in our room for a while. The room was a 4 bed dorm but was all single beds very spaced out and had a shared bathroom. Our room overlooked the pool which was in the centre of the complex. We got to bed at about 10:30pm.

... is absolutely beautiful and no pictures can do this justice. The harbour by night, the opera house lit up with the bridge in the back is just fantastic. I took the train into the city from the airport, not really too sure where I was going, so I hooked my guitar onto my backpack and started trekking around trying to find the hostel, Forbe's Terrace. I couldn't. So I stopped by another hostel and jumped on the internet to find directions, which I did and it ...

... got to &#8220;Rocky&#8221; was at the marker signifying that the Tropic of Capricorn passed through the city. It was suggested this would be a good unofficial group photo opportunity, so we all stood around the marker while Mick took a photo each from a pile of nearly fifty cameras. This took quite a few minutes and the whole time we were assembled some locals were doing blockies (laps of the block) in an old Holden Gemini. Each time they passed the front passenger ...
